1 Factors Influencing Perceptions of Climate and Weather Effects on Property Ownership Huili Hao¹, Patrick Long¹, and Scott Curtis Center for Sustainability: Tourism, Natural Resources, and the Built Environment, East Carolina University Department of Geography, East Carolina University
2 Tourism Impacts and Second Home Development in Coastal Counties: A Sustainable Approach Brunswick, Currituck, and Pender, North Carolina Counties Study designed to help developers, elected officials, community planners, business owners, public managers and property owners in high amenity tourist-based communities, estimate, understand and manage the changes their communities may experience. The results are intended to aid in effective decision-making that will contribute to the long term economic, environmental and socio-cultural sustainability of these communities.
3 Today s Presentation --- Objectives Investigate the attitudes of property owners toward the impact of climate and weather on property ownership; Determine what factors influence property owners attitudes toward the impact of climate and weather on property ownership.
4 Research Questions 1. Do differences in perceptions of climate and weather effects on property ownership exist between full time local residents and second home property owners? 2. What factors contribute to influencing property owners perceptions of climate and weather effects on property ownership?
5 Methodology --- Survey and Sampling The Geographic Information System (GIS) Tax Records of Currituck County provided a list of the county s housing stock from which a sample was selected of both resident and second home property owners full time property owners and 2350 second homeowners in Currituck County were randomly selected. 607 were completed and usable (376 second home owners; 241 full time residents).
6 Factor Analysis Variables Regression Analysis Sense of place Sustainable Actions IV Sustainable actions; Sense of place; Length of owning property; Residential status; Perceptions on extent that climate considerations affect future property values (changes in temperature/humidity, availability of freshwater, sea level and coastal flooding) Demographics (age, gender, income, education). Effects of Climate and Weather on Property Ownership DV Negative Effects of Climate and Weather on Property Ownership Positive Effects of Climate and Weather on Property Ownership
7 Study Area
8 Study Area: Currituck County Known for its beaches, nature and recreational activities including kayaking, fishing, and boating people, but increases three-fold during the summer tourism season In 2010 tourism generated $ million, and 1,380 jobs were directly attributable to tourism 43% of the single family housing stock is considered second home property

20 Conclusion --- RQ1 Differences exist in the attitudes toward the impact of climate and weather on property ownership between full time residents and second home property owners. Second home property owners indicated a greater level of agreement on: weather and climate conditions were important in deciding to own property in Currituck County ; climate change will have a noticeable negative impact on my property in the next 25 years. Full time residents indicated a greater level of agreement on: I feel I am adequately prepared for a severe weather event (e.g. hurricanes, floods, heavy rains) ; weather conditions have changed enough in Currituck County that I would NOT consider buying property here in the future.
21 Conclusion --- RQ2 Negative Perceptions Sustainable actions; Sense of place; Changes in temperature and/or humidity; Availability of freshwater; Sea level and coastal flooding Positive Perceptions Age; Education; Length of owning property; Sense of place; Distance
22 Limitations and Future Research Limitations: Low R² Full time and second home property owners separation Future research: multilevel scale including individual, neighborhood and possibly regional levels
23 Policy Implications Information helps stakeholders recognize their vulnerabilities to climate change, adjust their property ownership practices, and develop adaptation strategies. Information can set the stage for communication and education activities with property owner groups. Opportunity to engage different property owner groups in the future planning and decision-making of land use and tourism for their county.
