Urban gentrification, social vulnerability, and environmental (in) justice: Perspectives from gentrifying metropolitan cities in Korea
Abstract By integrating urban gentrification dynamics with nexus of social vulnerability and environmental (in)justice, this study explores gentrification processes and community perceptions of gentrification outcomes across gentrifying areas within metropolitan areas corresponding to seven selected cities within South Korea. Combined with redefined urban gentrification drivers, mediators (or control variables), and outcomes, correlation analysis was undertaken using longitudinal secondary data and cross-sectional survey data. Such case study-based empirical approaches in a non-western context were applied to measure social vulnerability and environmental (in)justice index, map spatial distribution of the index, and address the relationships among the gentrification processes in the context of social vulnerability and environmental (in)justice. Our results suggest that a positive correlation between social vulnerability to gentrification and environmental (in)justice exists particularly in urban core areas. Gentrification outcomes by community perceptions exhibited increases in house sale price and household displacement. Our attempts can provide policymakers, planners, practitioners, and residents with a better understanding of social and environmental constraints or benefits of gentrification along with the important concepts of social vulnerability and environmental justice as solutions to urban regeneration challenges.
Highlights Gentrification dynamics through the potentials of social vulnerability and environmental (in)justice were identified. Correlation analysis was undertaken with gentrification drivers, mediators, and outcomes using longitudinal secondary and cross-sectional survey data. A positive correlation between social vulnerability and environmental (in)justice exists within the gentrifying urban areas. Increases in house price and household displacement were perceived as representative outcomes of gentrification. Our efforts can provide policymakers, planners, and residents with a better understanding of gentrification dynamics.
