“…Through online platforms, the SE can create a network for the supply and demand side, and connect the providers and customers to each other. Even so, Cockayne (2016) expresses SE as "a term that describes digital platforms that connect consumers to a service or commodity through the use of a mobile application or website" [108] (p. 73), and Laurell and Sandström (2017) recognize the SE as being ICT-enabled platforms, which are used for exchanges [35]. Monte (2015) states that these platforms are secure and transparent for the transactions regarding assets [52].…”

Abstract:In recent years, through the advances in technology and highlighting the sustainability concepts in different aspects of human lives, the sharing economy has become an interesting topic for researchers, and also, many businesses claim to be active in this environment. However, a comprehensive definition, which is generally accepted, does not yet exist in the literature. In this paper, through a systematic literature review, analysis, and coding, a comprehensive definition, and also, an inclusive framework is presented for the sharing economy. This can help scientists and businesses to clarify which companies or parts of their activities fall into the SE category, and which do not. Such clarification in a small scale is done for five companies at the end of the paper.

“…Originally, the SE has been popularized as a more sustainable form of consumption [56][57][58]. However, with the development and proliferation of the SE models and platforms, the debate around their impacts on sustainability has been growing and critical voices have become more sound [13,47,50,59,60]. Moreover, because of the newness of the SE concept, descriptive and explanatory studies dominated literature and report reviews [1, 12,37,[61][62][63] or the internet and social media monitoring [13], supplemented by research projects based on the primary sources analysis and case studies of selected industries or platforms [33,56,64,65].…”

The Sharing Economy and Sustainability of Urban Destinations in the (Over)tourism Context: The Social Capital Theory Perspective

et al. 2020

This article contributes to the discussion on the sustainability of the sharing economy by adopting the Social Capital Theory to expand explanations of the sharing economy's role and scope of relations with local communities in the context of overtourism. As mutual relationships have not been fully recognized through a theoretical perspective, the article aims to examine the sustainability of the process of the sharing economy impacting urban tourism communities in light of Robert Putnam's approach to Social Capital Theory. On the basis of a selective systematic review, the article discusses the sustainability of the sharing economy through the lens of bridging and bonding social capital. We argue that a new configuration of social capital, i.e., a sharing platform-modified social capital, arises from the unsustainable and disruptive power of the sharing economy implemented by virtual platforms, thereby contributing to an overtourism syndrome. However, from a medium-and long-term perspective, the sharing economy also impacts the bridging nature of social capital, which should lead to a more sustainable balance in its structure. This initial framework for understanding the impact of the sharing economy on sustainability of local communities provides an alternative approach to studying residents' perceptions and attitudes towards tourism in the areas affected by overtourism.Sustainability 2020, 12, 2310 2 of 26 human and economic activity, strongly emphasizing its presence in the tourism industry, especially in accommodation, transport, catering and tourism experiences [19,20]. As the SE's impact is widely discussed through the prism of accommodation platforms [20][21][22][23] we mostly consider this sector of the tourism industry. Overtourism, in turn, is a place-specific and industry-related mechanism. As a temporary and 'explosive' phenomenon, it condenses all the aspects of visitors' activity and the tourism industry in affected destinations, including the experiences or services distributed or accessed by sharing. Thus, when these two phenomena are studied together, we can discuss tourism as a domain of the SE, and the 'sharing' aspects of overtourism.Yet, due to an early phase of their evolution and the eruptive nature of their expansion, mutual relationships of both phenomena have not been fully recognized, leaving a gap for further research. Even so, many researchers claim that the SE contributes to overtourism by jointly pushing urban gentrification processes, depopulation of city centers and other processes of social exclusion [3,[24][25][26][27][28]. In light of this, in this article we consider overtourism in the context of studying the impact of the SE expansion on local communities. The emerging overtourism syndrome may be one of first striking examples of the problems in which the SE is directly involved. Thus, the externalities resulting from the SE in (over)tourism context on the community level could be a laboratory for SE's influence in general.Although sustainability issues involving the SE have...

“…A közösségi gazdaságra legtöbbször mint ernyőfogalomra tekintenek (Acquier, Daudigeos, Pinkse 2017;Hamari, Sjöklint, Ukkonen 2016;Kalóz 2015). Mindemellett számos elnevezést, rokon fogalmat társítanak a jelenséghez (Acquier, Daudigeos, Pinkse 2017;Martin 2016;Richardson 2015;Selloni 2017): gig-gazdaság (Friedman 2014), on-demand gazdaság (Cockayne 2016), közösségi fogyasztás (Botsman, Rogers 2011;Hamari, Sjöklint, Ukkonen 2016;Schor, Fitzmaurice 2015), platformgazdaság (Evans, Gawer 2016;Kenney, Zysman 2015, együttműködő gazdaság (Owyang, Tran, Silva 2013), the mesh (Gansky 2010(Gansky , 2011, hozzáférésalapú gazdaság (Bardhi, Eckhardt 2012), összekapcsolt fogyasztás (Dubois, Schor, Carfagna 2014;Schor 2014;Schor, Fitzmaurice 2015), tömegalapú kapitalizmus (Sundararajan 2016) -és ezeket sokszor egymás szinonimájaként használják. A sharing economy fogalmának ellentmondásosságát az adja, hogy túl sok tényezőt (például a platformok piaci orientációja, a megosztás és az árucsere gyakorlatának aránya, a felhasználók közötti interakciók típusa) -mely elemeket az egyes szerzők eltérő módon interpretálnak -kell figyelembe venni a fogalom meghatározása során (Codagnone, Martens 2016;Frenken et al 2015;.…”

A közösségi gazdaság (sharing economy) definiálásának dilemmái

Napjainkban egyre nagyobb teret hódít a közösségi gazdaság (sharing economy), amely az internet és az infokommunikációs technológiák által kínált lehetőségek révén megváltoztatja a fogyasztási szokásokat, és a „normál” piaci logikától eltérő működésének köszönhetően számos területen hat a fogyasztási szerkezetre, az árakra, és egyre jelentősebb kihívást jelent a hagyományos piaci szereplők számára – nem egy esetben komoly konfliktusokat generálva a hagyományos és az új piaci szereplők között. Annak ellenére, hogy a közösségi gazdaság jelensége és a hozzá kapcsolt vállalatok és szolgáltatások egyre jobban a hétköznapok részévé válnak, a kutatók és a közvélemény számára homályos a sharing economy konkrét fogalma: vajon mit is jelent ez a meghatározás, és milyen szolgáltatások tartoznak a sharing economy körébe. Számos esetben a közösségi gazdaság fogalmát ernyőfogalomként használják, beleértve minden olyan tevékenységet, amely a technológiai változások következtében alakult ki. Ezek azonban túl tág megfogalmazások, így szükség van pontosabb értelmezésre, amely figyelembe veszi a sharing economy kialakulásához vezető technológiai, társadalmi és gazdasági változásokat is. A tanulmány célja, hogy a hazai és nemzetközi szakirodalom alapján röviden áttekintse a sharing economy fogalmi kérdéseit, és bemutassa, hogy milyen problémák kapcsolhatók a fogalom definiálásához. Emellett megfogalmazzuk saját véleményünket a közösségi gazdaság értelmezéséről.
