These dynamics affect both local economies and alter significantly the\u00a0characteristics\u00a0of\u00a0urban space arising the necessity to create not only policies that foster sustainable\u00a0tourism development but also to advance urban models that explore\u00a0the relation between Airbnb\u00a0and the traditional rental and accommodation sector. Through the case of Venice, the present study\u00a0sheds light on the potential\u00a0evolution of Airbnb housing in comparison to the traditional rental and\u00a0homeowner market. In particular, it seeks to understand whether a potential equilibrium\u00a0between\u00a0these uses exists and if so, at which point in regards to this equilibrium the historic center of Venice\u00a0is now. To tackle this question, methods\u00a0deriving from the field of game theory and specifically\u00a0evolutionary game theory are used. With the agents (players) being the housing units, the designed\u00a0theoretical\u00a0model explores the population dynamics of the housing units in Venice given the three\u00a0options of homeownership or long-term rental (residential),\u00a0short term\u00a0rental over Airbnb (airbnb) or\u00a0no use (vacant). The findings of our theoretical population game model are validated and discussed\u00a0against a dataset describing\u00a0the use patterns in the city of Venice during the past 20 years. A\u00a0verification of the outcome through further case studies could eventually\u00a0provide insights\u00a0on future\u00a0behavior of tourism pressure in historic urban areas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The emergence of Airbnb along with an increase in urban tourism has intensified the\u00a0pressure on urban areas while adding a new dimension\u00a0in the dynamics of the housing distribution\u00a0especially in historic cities.
