dc.description.abstractWithin the last decade short-term renting towards tourists has been on the rise. This manifested through the upcoming of Airbnb. In the city of Amsterdam this resulted in residential housing being used as part-time hotels with a decrease in liveability and increase of gentrification as result. To limit this effect the city of Amsterdam installed a number of rules, such as a mandatory permit or the obligation to register the number of guest. The effect of Airbnb on the liveability and gentrification has been studied profoundly in different cities within Europe (Nofre et all., 2018; Novy and Colomb, 2013 and even within Amsterdam (Pinkster and Boterman, 2017). Yet this thesis studies the situation since new rules are implemented. This study explored the way these rules were received and how the presence of an Airbnb influenced the liveability and gentrification in the neighbourhood the Baarsjes in Amsterdam. This was done by using semi-structured interviews. It became apparent that residents felt certain pressure of gentrification and recognised certain signs as discussed by Ter Horst et all. (2003). But most of these were allocated towards expats. With regards to liveability there were different frustrations that were linked towards tourism and Airbnb. But most interviewees were indifferent for this and they felt it was part of the city. Despite this there was a major difference if an interviewee lived closed to an Airbnb, which resulted in more negative opinions and experiences. The rules itself were well received by interviewees and were considered to serve their purpose. However some concerns were mentioned about enforcement of them.
