ESTIMATION OF DEMOLISHED VACANT DWELLINGS BY THE HOUSING CHAIN MODEL CONCERNING THE DETACHED HOUSE MARKET

To make the effective vacant dwelling circulation active in the housing market, it is important to clearly determine the amount of dwellings concealed from the market. In this paper, the amount of vacant dwellings after the household movement process was calculated by using the housing chain model, in which used housing was linked with new housing, concerning the detached owned house market in Yamaguchi Prefecture. The results showed that the amount of vacant dwellings concealed from the market was 80% of the amount of new housing supply, and three-fourths of those vacant dwellings were demolished.
