Process of developing community-based guidelines in response to tourism gentrification caused by simple accommodations: A case study of the Shutoku District in Kyoto City

Abstract

This study aims to clarify the process by which the local community in the Shutoku District of Kyoto City worked to develop community-based guidelines in response to tourism gentrification caused by simple accommodations. The method was an action research method. Specifically, the author emigrated to Shutoku District and analyzed the dialog process based on the minutes of regular meetings, workshops, and questionnaire surveys. Consequently, it was determined that the whole process could be divided into four phases: (1) the research period, (2) measures against simple accommodations, (3) coexistence with simple accommodations, and (4) guidelines development. The results suggest that the committee has taken advantage of the group dialog and progressed with a shift in policy development.s
