The impact of peer-to-peer accommodation on place authenticity: A placemaking perspective

How the COVID-19 Pandemic Affected the Functioning of Tourist Short-Term Rental Platforms (Airbnb and Vrbo) in Polish Cities

“…In this article, we have shown some insights into part of the CEE. Moreover, in some cities and regions, homesharing platform users were only a small proportion of non-resident city users (e.g., those engaged in workations [ 65 , 131 ]) and of the first tourists between waves of lockdowns (especially business tourists [ 132 ]) and/or when cities reopened to tourism. Therefore, when planning further studies on STR consequences of the pandemic, it is also worth paraphrasing Ioannides’ question (2016): Do activities such as Airbnb (tourist STR) strengthen the opportunity for bottom-up resilience to pandemic in the tourism city?…”

Digital placemaking, health & wellbeing and nature-based solutions: A systematic review and practice model

“…Most authors referred to Tuan's theory (Basaraba, 2021;Devine, 2017;Gulsrud et al, 2018;Harner et al, 2017;Rutha and Abbas, 2021;Rzeszewski and Naji, 2022;Toomey et al, 2021), which studies the human emotions and relationships to a specific place (Tuan, 1977), also presented as one of the foundations of placemaking (Clark and Lupton, 2021;Devine, 2017). Sense of place layers the physical space with meaning and cultural symbols (Foth et al, 2021), bringing a variety of benefits to communities, such as enabling community building (Breek et al, 2018), creating sense of ownership and entitlement (Kale, 2019), and development of community and individual identity (Chen et al, 2022;el Khafif et al, 2021;Harner et al, 2017;Kale, 2019). Scholars have reflected on the creation of sense of place in digital environments, fostering emotional online connections to create meaningful locations (Clowater, 2021;Halegoua and Polson, 2021;Harner et al, 2017;Johnstone et al, 2016;Norum and Polson, 2021;Relph, 2007;Witteborn, 2021).…”

Exploring Airbnb Host Wellbeing and Host-Guest Conflicts in Network Hospitality

“…For instance, Airbnb accommodation offers guests the prospect of staying in a local’s home, a more functional environment (e.g., kitchens, laundry), residential neighborhood advantages, and potential local host interactions ( Mody et al, 2017 ; Guttentag, 2019 ), among other benefits. An emerging body of literature explores the benefits of participation as Airbnb hosts ( Farmaki and Kaniadakis, 2020 ; Foth et al, 2021 ), yet hosting experiences remain scantly researched ( Prayag and Ozanne, 2018 ; Canziani and Nemati, 2021 ; Zhang et al, 2021 ). In addition, whether Airbnb enhances or diminishes the wellbeing of individuals who participate in the practice needs further research ( Buhalis et al, 2020 ).…”
