京都市中心部における簡易宿所型ジェントリフィケーションが都市組織に与えた影響

This study aims to clarify the impact on urban fabrics of the “tourism gentrification caused by simple accommodations” in the central area of Kyoto City by investigating the case study of the Shutoku District from 2015 to 2019. This area was chosen because it had seen the highest rise in land prices and number of simple accommodations in the last few years. The results of the impact allow us to study city planning regulation for gentrification. In particular, the following three points were clarified in this study.

 

First, Chapter 2 clarifies that gentrification caused by simple accommodations occurred from 2015 to 2019 in Shimogyo Ward, Kyoto City. Specifically, the roadside land price (RLP) and the number of simple accommodations increased throughout all of Shimogyo Ward during the four years following 2015. In addition, the rise in RLPs positively affected the density of simple accommodations, and the density of simple accommodations negatively impacted the population changes.

 

Second, Chapter 3 clarifies the changes in urban fabrics due to tourism gentrification caused by simple accommodations. Specifically, although there were many simple accommodations due to renovations of KM (Kyo-Machiya) by landowners in Kyoto City and OVS (Overseas) at the beginning of 2015, simple accommodations resulting from dismantling KM and rebuilding them as BLDG (Buildings) had increased since 2017 among landowners in companies in other parts of Japan besides Kyoto Prefecture. It was found that the tourism gentrification caused by simple accommodation made a significant change in the urban tissues.

 

Third, Chapter 4 clarified the changes in the entire urban fabric, including simple accommodations from 2015 to 2019 in the Shutoku District. In particular, Chapter 4 clarified three points. First, the diversity of buildings has increased as the number of simple accommodations increased. However, since 2018, the number of vacant lots/parking has increased. Second, Chapter 4 verified the results of Section 3.3, clarifying that “Persons” who live in Kyoto City and Chinese tend to renovate KM, while “Companies” outside Kyoto rebuilt KM as BLDG. In addition, it was clarified that the “Reno. (Renovation)” of KM is used not only for simple accommodations but also for houses and similar domiciles, though “Rebuild” to BLDG is limited to hotels or simple accommodations. Finally, Chapter 4 clarified that simple accommodations were built after the land had been sold multiple times and then dismantled and left as vacant parking lots for multiple months, as a result of which there was no chance to build simple accommodations while the land resale was repeated.
