A study on the public-private partnerships to promote matching of vacant houses

Focusing on private vacant house business

Abstract

In Japan, the number of vacant house businesses by the private sector is increasing. The aim of this study is to clarify the actual situation of the vacant house business by focusing on matching sites, and to clarify the possibility of public-private cooperation to promote the matching of vacant houses. Firstly, we analyzed the characteristics of the matching sites and found a diversity in terms of the target area, the scope of business. In addition, through the case studies of matching sites with public-private partnerships, public-private partnerships can complement each other in addressing the issues of municipal vacant house banks and private vacant house matching sites, and are expected to improve the problem of vacant houses and revitalize local communities.
