(1) Background: The sharing economy has emerged as a phenomenon widely described by academic literature to promote more sustainable consumption practices such as access over ownership. However, there exists great semantic confusion within academic literature surrounding the term “sharing economy,” which threatens the realisation of its purported sustainability potential. (2) Objective: The aim of this paper is to synthesise the existing academic definitions and propose a definition of the sharing economy from the perspective of sustainability science in order to indicate sharing practices that are consistent with the sustainability claims attributed to the sharing economy. (3) Methods: We conduct a database search to collect relevant academic articles. Then, we leverage qualitative content analysis in order to analyse the authors’ definitions and to synthesise the broad dimensions of the sharing economy in the discourse. (4) Results: We propose the following characteristics, or semantic properties, of the sharing economy for sustainability: ICT-mediated, non-pecuniary motivation for ownership, temporary access, rivalrous and tangible goods. (5) Conclusion: The semantic properties that inform our definition of the sharing economy for sustainability indicate those sharing practices that promote sustainable consumption compared to purely market-based exchanges. This definition is relevant for academics studying the sustainability impacts of the sharing economy in order to promote comparability and compatibility in research. Furthermore, the definition is useful for policy-makers, entrepreneurs, managers and consumers that have the sharing economy on the agenda in order to promote social enterprise and support sustainable consumption.

“…New technologies have the potential to disrupt these sectors as they challenge existing market structures and incumbent firms. They also have the potential to transform the nature of their industry products, possibly creating more intangible services without the need for physical goods (Fuentes-Bracamontes, 2016).…”

Meeting climate change goals requires both the decarbonization of the electricity sector and the electrification of much of the rest of the economy. However, the electricity sector is navigating major disruptions that are changing the regulatory and business landscape. This article focuses on the question of whether these changes would help or hinder electrification, taking transportation as an example. Like the electricity sector, transportation is undergoing a deep transformation. We suggest that businesses in both sectors will at some point offer aggregated services, repackaged as subscriptions, and traded on digital platforms. We also argue that data created by these activities would be so valuable that this could be reason alone to move toward this model. This could create synergies between companies that could eventually lead to a rebound effect of electrification, with more vehicle miles traveled and more electricity consumption than before.

Ebru TEKIN BILBIL 286 katılım sağlandığı, (5) Katılımın gerekçeleri, (6) Sonuç üzerindeki etki. Buna göre, çalışma şu sonuçları ortaya çıkarmıştır: (1) Türkiye' de dijital platform firmaları özelinde onların da haklarını koruyucu bir regülasyon olmaması; (2) Yeni teknolojilerin tetiklediği regülasyonların farklı müdahale alanları ve ilişki formları yaratması; (3) Seçimle gelen tepeden-aşağıya temsiliyet ile betimsel ve sembolik temsiliyet arasında yeni iletişim, yönetişim ve etkileşim alanlarının geliştirilmesi gereği. Bu çalışma vaka analizi metodunu benimserken kalitatif görüşmeler, telefon mülakatları ve katılımcı gözlemler ile doküman analizlerine dayanmaktadır.
