Abstract (150 Words)

The current study examined the relationship between Airbnb performance, community resilience, and gentrification to understand how community resilience may moderate the Airbnb-induced gentrification. Based on the linear panel and geographically weighted regression analyses, the study examined factors that significantly contributed to gentrification and identified areas in Florida that were more susceptible or resistant to Airbnb-induced gentrification. The findings from this study provided insights into the role of community resilience indexes in addressing Airbnb-induced gentrification. Greater vulnerability and inequality exposed the regions to more gentrification, whereas higher socio-economic status and better community involvement protected them from gentrification. The impact of community resilience differed geographically, calling for location-specific approaches to mediate Airbnb-induced gentrification.
