Abstract:
The present constitutes part of a wider research attempt to examine the impacts oftourism on the host areas using a transformed version of the explanatory tool‘DPSR’ (Driving Forces, Pressures, State, Response). Τhe Cycladic islands areselected as a case study, and the basic environmental pressure factor examined istourism related construction activity. Concluding from the data presented, thetourism development paradigms in the study area (3S-tourism hosted in‘conventional’ accommodation and second homes), seem new constructionintensive. The working hypotheses and limitations of the present researchapplication , reflect weaknesses of the Greek institutional framework, towardsunderstanding and managing tourism impacts, let alone sustainability goals.
