Abstract
Uneven spatial distribution of rented accommodation offered on Airbnb has potential to create spatial inequalities in host cities. In this regard, the claim of the proponents of Airbnb that ‘it increases spatial equality in the cities by creating opportunities for the house-owners in peripheral areas’ requires scientific analysis and empirical evidence. Using the data obtained from the Inside Airbnb website, 2011 census, the municipal register of Spain and OpenStreetMap, this article first measures the degree of penetration and spatial clustering (with LISA statistics) of the Airbnb listings in seven main tourist cities of Spain (Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Seville, Mallorca and Malaga). Second, it analyses (with multiple linear regression models) the spatial, socio-economic, demographic and cultural determinants of the spatial clustering of accommodation offered on Airbnb in the selected cities; and finally, it compares the growth of Airbnb and its impact on spatial inequalities in the selected cities.
期刊介绍:
Documents d’Anàlisi Geogràfica is an open-access academic journal aimed at scholars and professionals who have an interest on the interactions between nature, society, politics, economy and culture that take place in space at different scales, and to which geography provides analysis or responses. Edited jointly by the Department of Geography of the Universitat Autònoma of Barcelona and the Department of Geography of the Universitat de Girona, Documents d’Anàlisi Geogràfica is published quarterly, in February, June and October.
