Abstract
This study examined the transformation process of living space to tourism space and local residents' attitudes toward the transformation process by applying in-depth interviews as a qualitative research methodology. Findings show that gentrification has hastened the transformation of living space to tourism space. More specifically, four steps were identified: 1) approvement for being a tourism space by local government and community council; 2) changes in the relationships between/among community residents; 3) transfer of community residents' living space by demand; and 4) community decline as a result of gentrification. While previous studies have revealed mandatory transfer by gentrification, this study found that both voluntary transfer to other communities and mandatory transfer within local residents' communities have been happening together. Based on the results, theoretical and practical implications are discussed to advance the current knowledge of gentrification research.
