Spanish term or phrase: protagonismo de la residencia secundaria
El Conglomerado 2 está formado por municipios de fuerte envejecimiento y masculinización.
Son municipios de clara orientación a la actividad agrícola con importante ***protagonismo de la residencia secundaria***.
I am not sure of the meaning of this term in this context. Is the sense of this the idea that 'secondary residences' as in 'second homes' are common? Or am I missing something? There is no further context, as the paper then moves away from the areas studied and goes on to discuss the indicators used.
Thank you inadvance for your help. British English please.
Much appreciated :)

an influx of second homes


Explanation:
What country?

This might be referring to the "getting back to nature" trend in which people are building weekend homes in the countryside. In England it's a social problem; in Brazil, it's an environmental issue - I translated several papers about the problem and how it's fragmenting the range of wildlife. Not to say that agriculture doesn't do the same thing, but the second home trend doesn't put food on the table. It also raises property values beyond what locals can buy.

Rural Pressure and Policy in Western Europe people in the countryside live in ... of recreation not production and this has resulted in an influx of people. ...
Housing in the European Countryside provides an overview of the housing pressures and policy challenges facing Europe, while highlighting critical differences. By drawing on contemporary research work of leading authors in the fields of housing studies, rural geography and planning, the book provides an introduction to housing issues across the European countryside for those who have hitherto been unexposed to such concerns, and who wish to gain some basic insight.
This in-depth review of housing pressure in the European countryside reveals both the form, nature and variety of problems now being experienced in different parts of Europe, in addition to outlining policy solutions that are being provided by member states and other agencies in meeting the rural housing challenge at this time and in the years ahead.

of second-home buyers has helped push prices beyond the reach of many local people. But the problems created by second-home owners are two-fold, according to Countryside Agency housing programme manager Lynn Watkins. She said: "Firstly, they can both restrict supply and increase the cost of housing - locals compete with higher-income earners. For the first time this breaks the link between the services you use and how much council tax you actually pay
..."Secondly, second-home owners tend to make less use of local services, undermining their viability."

The character of England's countryside has changed fundamentally over the past decade following an influx of immigrants which have helped rapidly push up house prices...

Or "a growing trend in second homes"
To put it more negatively: "inroads of second homes"
