Analyzing the Factors of Vacant Home Occurrence for Urban Sustainability: A Case Study of Medium-Sized Cities Focusing on Asan City, Chungcheongnam-do
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsThis study is to spatially analyze the characteristics of vacant homes and identify the factors leading to vacant homes. The idea is good and attractive. However, I believe further consideration is warranted regarding the alignment between the title and the content. And there are still problems that need to address before it meets publishing standards.

Reviewer 3 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsVacant homes are certainly a problematic phenomenon. Therefore, the undertaken research is important and timely. The article is chaotic and needs to be rearranged. Below are some comments that will help improve the article:
1. The purpose of the research should be clearly defined (now it is different in the abstract and the introduction).
2. A more extensive literature review should be conducted.
3. There is a lack of scientific discussion related to the conducted research.
4. In line 396, the authors suggest that there are many factors determining the incidence of vacant houses and that other studies confirm it. Similarly, the first paragraph of section 3.2 suggests many previous studies, and there is a reference to one item. Please refer to other researchers.
5. The part of the introduction from line 45 is more will be in the methodology.
