- The shared housing sector is a growing private rental submarket. Researchers have sought to analyse the drivers of this growth, the benefits of shared housing for tenants, landlords and wider urban systems, as well as risks for tenants and local planning systems. Yet, there is limited research exploring the diversity of the shared housing sector. In particular, analysis of room or space sharing with non-related adults is lacking. This paper explores the characteristics, geography and impact of room sharing across Sydney. By analysing online accommodation listings this paper provides insights for policymakers seeking to monitor and regulate shared room accommodation.共享住房是一个方兴未艾的私人租房市场。研究者试图分析这种增长的动力,这种租住方式对房客、房主和城市系统的益处,以及房客和地方规划体系面临的风险。然而目前对丰富多姿的共享住房部门研究仍然不足,对互不相关的成人共享房间或空间的研究更是阙如。本文考察悉尼共享住房的特点、地理分布以及影响,通过分析网上租房数据,为决策者监管共享住房建言献策。KEYWORDS: Room sharing, online shared accommodation listings, overcrowding, rental affordability, shared housing regulationsAdditional informationAcknowledgementsWe would like to thank Dr Michael Chang, Department of Environmental Sciences, Macquarie University, for research support for data analysis.
