Housing Vacancy Rate in Major Cities in China: Perspectives from Nighttime Light Data

Abstract: In recent years, the phenomenon of housing vacancy rate (HVR) has attracted considerable attention, especially concerning unjustified expansions of Chinese cities. The aforementioned trend is disadvantageous in that it will ultimately lead to tremendous wastage of valuable land that could otherwise be more productively utilized. Consequently, the methods for accurately determining the HVR are of great importance. Based on nighttime light data from the Luojia 1-01 nighttime light imagery provided by Wuhan Unive… Show more

“…However, it does not necessarily increase industrial investments despite the expansion of urban areas [74,75]. This is because high road density in some cities may be the result of the intention of some local officials to increase revenue from the real-estate industry [76], and thus to be promoted due to the defective appraisal system for governmental achievements [77]. Because of that, the influence of RoadDensity was negative according to our overall assessment (Table 3).…”

“…Lastly, traffic infrastructure influences LUI in 64 cities, located mainly in the eastern region when we examined the indicator RoadDensity (Tables 3 and 5, and Figure A5), suggesting inapparent impact in most Chinese cities mainly in the middle and western regions. There were only 17 cities with positive contributions and 45 with negative contributions from road density, which might be explained by the fact that high road density does not necessarily lead to industrial investment, hence increased LUI [76,77]. Cities with positive contributions from road density were mostly located in the eastern region, whereas this was negative in the middle and western regions, which indicates that the increase in road density more likely results from the development of urban areas rather than industrial investment in the middle and western cities.…”

“…LJ1-01 nighttime light remote sensing images are currently high-resolution and radiometrically calibrated nighttime light data [38,39]. It has great application potential in the recognition of builtup areas and the modeling of social-economic parameters [40][41][42][43][44]. This article adopts the radiance equation provided by the Hubei Data and Application Center of the High-Resolution Earth Observation System to convert the radiance.…”

“…Suzhou has a high housing vacancy rate-the data is not available, but likely it is around 20% as in similar cities in China [23][24] -that could be considered for the future demand, but in general the empty stock can not be considered as available for renting because of the investment attitude of the owners: the target of the real estate purchase is the quick and consistent value increase, not the rental returns, that was decreasing to less than 3% in 2018 [25][26][27].…”
