<Abstract>
Vacant houses, a typical phenomenon during the decline of a region, can give rise to social problems, including deteriorated surrounding landscapes and crimes such as arson, as well as inefficient utilization of social capital. This study empirically compared and analyzed local characteristics affecting the occurrence of vacant houses through a multi-regression analysis using statistical data from South Korea and Japan. By applying national, metropolitan, urban, and rural models using variables for both countries, the results revealed significant differences in the factors affecting the occurrence of vacant houses between South Korea and Japan. In particular, Japan avoided suburbanization and implemented an urban shrinkage policy of demolishing deteriorated houses in the existing urban areas and constructing new houses, thereby reducing the ratio of vacant houses. Conversely, South Korea focused on the development of underdeveloped suburban areas by supplying new houses, resulting in an increase in vacant houses. Furthermore, because South Korea has a significant gap between urban and rural areas, its rural areas are similar to those of Japan; hence, these areas experience serious vacant house problems. Therefore, South Korea should establish policies that consider local characteristics, including preferential regeneration of existing and deprived urban areas, rather than the new development of underdeveloped suburban areas.
