The Necessity of Regional Sectioning Based on the Actual Distribution of Vacant Houses in a Local City

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: After the Act on Special Measures to Forward Municipalities' Moves for Vacant houses was enacted in November 2014, local municipalities started to actively advance measures for vacant houses, which had become a social problem. However, no fundamental solution has been identified for problems regarding vacant houses. Many municipalities are considering their policies and investigating the actual conditions on a trial-and-error basis. In this study, we identify the actual distribution of vacant houses based on the result of field survey in Maebashi City. We also examine the necessity of regional sectioning based on the ratio of vacant houses to take effective measures in a local city based on the survey result.
