“…The popularity of the Internet and social networks have made the sharing economy develop rapidly in modern city life [1]. Internet-based sharing economy, such as shared rentals, shared cars, and shared bicycles, offers many kinds of smart services to cities, becoming an intrinsic feature of smart cities [2,3]. Among all sharing economy products, shared short-term rentals have become a recent focus, because of the rapid development of the sustainable-tourism industry [4,5].…”

“…In addition, we add the cognitive needs of users as a control variable. (2) We evaluate users' decisions on Internet-based shared short-term rentals based on the proposed research model and questionnaire data, and present a number of results. The results show that the quality of online reviews influences consumers' perceived value and perceived risk, which in turn impacts users' decisions on shared short-term rentals.…”

With the development of social networks and the Internet-based sharing economy, shared short-term rentals are emerging as a new kind of service that provides a convenient way for people to buy short-term rental services in cities through social-network-enabled platforms. However, like other social-network-based services, shared short-term rental is also likely to be impacted by online reviews. This paper aims to investigate the impact of online reviews on users' purchase decisions toward shared short-term rentals, and further to provide optimization suggestions for the future advance of shared short-term rentals. The contributions of this paper are many-fold. First, we introduce the Stimuli-Organism-Response (SOR) model into the study and propose new variables for the model, including stimulus variables, organism variables, response variable, and moderating variables. Second, we propose eight hypotheses to evaluate the impact of online reviews on users' purchase decisions toward shared short-term rentals. Finally, we collect data through a questionnaire survey and present comprehensive results on many aspects. Based on the data analysis, we find out that the quality of online reviews impacts users' perceived value and perceived risk, which in turn impacts users' purchase decisions toward shared short-term rentals. In addition, the cognitive needs of users can adjust the impact of online reviews on the perceived risk of users but have no explicit adjusting effect for users' perceived value. Further, we present some research implications as well as suggestions for rental platforms to advance shared short-term rentals in the Internet age.

“…Open data platforms may allow the widespread and creative use of government data (Janssen and Estevez 2013;Walravens et al 2014;Toots et al 2017;Mergel et al 2018;De Blasio and Selva 2019). Platforms may also promote a sharing economy (Mair and Reischauer 2017;Martin et al 2017;Ganapati and Reddick 2018;Hofmann et al 2019).…”

Although not as eye‐catching as their business counterparts, many public and private institutions are currently experimenting with using platforms as a strategy of governance. Governance platforms are now being constructed by a wide array of actors at different geographical scales and across a wide range of issue areas. Although often enabled by digital technology, governance platforms fundamentally embody a new organizing logic to achieve distributed participation and mobilization. While private platforms are transforming the way that companies create and market their products or services and shifting the fundamental logic of how value is produced and appropriated, can this powerful organizing logic be harnessed for public as well as private purposes? We investigate how governance platforms generate powerful effects and survey the extant literature on governance platforms. We conclude that governance platforms do demonstrate promise, although they face a number of challenges.

“…Rozwiązanie to znacząco wpływa na poprawę jakości transportu w mieście poprzez ograniczenie presji na środowisko (DeMaio, 2009), a także promocję zrównoważonego transportu miejskiego (Bordagaray i in., 2012; Fishman i in., 2014), zwłaszcza ruchu rowerowego (García-Palomares i in., 2012). Działalność samoobsługowych wypożyczalni rowerów jest także częścią zjawiska sharing economy, polegającego na współdzieleniu pewnych dóbr z innymi użytkownikami, w tym także środków transportu w mieście (Cohen, Kietzmann, 2014;Ganapati, Reddick, 2018;Jin i in., 2018;Roh, 2016). Motywacje uczestniczenia w tego typu projektach mieszczą się w trzech aspektach -środowiskowym, społecznym i ekonomicznym (Böcker, Meelen, 2017;Godelnik, 2017), zwracając szczególną uwagę na niewielki wpływ na środowisko, niski koszt przejazdu oraz zainteresowanie tym zjawiskiem w społeczeństwie.…”

Cytacja:Kwiatkowski M.A., 2018, Bike-sharing-boom -rozwój nowych form zrównoważonego transportu w Polsce na przykładzie roweru publicznego, Prace Komisji Geografii Komunikacji PTG, 21(3), 60-69.Streszczenie: System roweru publicznego (bike-sharing system) staje się coraz bardziej powszechnym elementem systemu transportowego w przestrzeni miast w Polsce i na świecie. Do głównych powodów wprowadzania tego rozwiązania na obszarach miejskich zaliczyć można potrzebę zwiększenia wydajności miejskich systemów transportowych oraz dążenie do ograniczenia problemów tworzących się wskutek presji tradycyjnych środków transportu na środowisko. Rower publiczny z powodzeniem staje się także elementem transportu multimodalnego łącząc się z innymi środkami transportu publicznego. W Polsce bike-sharing funkcjonuje od 2008 r. rozszerzając swój zasięg z każdym kolejnym rokiem o nowe miasta, a także obszary wiejskie. W opracowaniu przeanalizowano zmiany liczby systemów w Polsce w latach 2017-2018 -w okresie największego rozwoju tej formy transportu na badanym obszarze. Analizę wykonano w oparciu o wskaźniki liczby stacji roweru publicznego na określonej powierzchni oraz liczby rowerów na tle liczby mieszkańców analizowanych miejscowości. W pracy porównano także cenniki wypożyczeń rowerów dla poszczególnych systemów funkcjonujących w Polsce. Na podstawie przeanalizowanych danych wyznaczono także kierunki rozwoju roweru publicznego w Polsce.Abstract: The public bicycle system (bike-sharing system) is becoming an increasingly common element of the transport system in urban space in Poland and in the world. The main reasons for implementing this solution in urban areas include the need to increase the efficiency of urban transport systems and to reduce the problems created by the pressure of traditional means of transport on the environment. Public bike is also successfully becoming an element of multimodal transport by connecting with other public transport. In Poland, bike-sharing has been operating since 2008, expanding its range with each subsequent year for new cities, as well as rural areas. The study analyzed changes in the number of systems in Poland in 2017-2018 -in the period of the greatest development of this form of transport in the studied area. The analysis was based on the indicators of the number of public bicycle stations on a given area and the number of bicycles on the background of the number of inhabitants of the analyzed cities. The work also compared bicycle rental rates for individual systems operating in Poland. On the basis of the analyzed data, the directions of public bicycle development in Poland were also determined.
