| Abstract |
The issue of vacant houses has been worsening in small cities and suburban areas of metropolitan regions due to population decline and changes in urban structures. Among all metropolitan cities in Korea, Busan has the highest number of vacant houses. When left unattended, these properties contribute to various social problems, including deteriorating cityscapes, declining residential environments, rising crime rates, and even regional economic stagnation. Although several government policies have been introduced to tackle this issue, inconsistent criteria and subjective priority-setting have reduced their effectiveness. This study seeks to address these challenges by developing a priority decision model for managing vacant houses in Busan Metropolitan City. The model is based on a composite index that combines survey data and quantitative indicators. The research focuses on 16 districts in Busan, using indicators selected to reflect economic, environmental, and social characteristics. The methodology includes identifying preliminary indicators from existing literature, refining them through expert consultation, and completing the model using SPSS analysis, surveys, and AHP analysis. The final model is presented as a Heat Map, enabling policymakers to visually identify and prioritize critical areas. This decision model is expected to support more systematic and objective approaches to vacant house management in Busan. |
