Short-Term Rental and Its Classification
The rise of short-term rental (STR) platforms such as Airbnb in the past decade has brought about significant changes in the tourism industry. To be specific, these platforms have transformed the way people travel by directly connecting hosts and guests, providing individuals and property owners with the opportunity to offer their homes or spare rooms for short-term stays. This shift has offered a wide range of lodging options to travelers in terms of price and location, allowing travelers to choose accommodations that suit their preferences and budgets. This variety has resulted in increased tourism demand and has contributed to the local economy, particularly in rural areas that heavily rely on tourism as a vital source of income and employment. The accessibility and affordability of STRs have attracted tourists who seek unique experiences and a more intimate connection with the local culture and community.

Understanding scale and how it changes may shed light on answering a number of questions, such as how scale impacts livability, pedestrian quality, access, affordability, or crime. In order to delve into these and other scale-related topics, urbanists need an approach to scale measurement and analysis.
