Economía colaborativa: ¿Transformará la sociedad? / Collaborative economy: Will it transform society?Córdova Ticona, Humberto 01 July 2019 (has links)
La economía colaborativa está generando una fuerte influencia en la sociedad a través de la creación de nuevos modelos de negocios con fuerte tendencia a monopolizar los mercados. Influye en el patrón de consumo de las personas, hay quienes prefieren pagar por el acceso a bienes y servicios antes que decidir por la posesión del mismo, contradiciendo el sistema económico actual. Algunas investigaciones desarrolladas, consideran importante la contribución de la economía colaborativa en la transformación de la sociedad mientras que otras, sostienen lo contrario. En el presente trabajo, se han revisado investigaciones relacionados a economía colaborativa, realizados durante los últimos 5 años. Se contrastaron las posturas a favor y en contra sobre su influencia en los patrones de consumo de las personas. Se revisaron investigaciones que analizaron nuevos modelos de negocios creados que están basados en la economía colaborativa. Se identificaron los factores que aún son controversiales en la actualidad, los cuales son planteados como nuevas líneas de investigación cuyos resultados contribuyan a comprender y actuar frente a estas nuevas corrientes innovadoras que están surgiendo en el mundo. / The collaborative economy is generating a strong influence in society through the creation of new business models with a strong tendency to monopolize the markets. It influences the pattern of consumption of people, some people prefer to pay for access to goods and services before deciding to own it, contradicting the current economic system. Some researches developed consider the contribution of the collaborative economy in the transformation of society important, while others argue the contrary. In the present work, we have reviewed research related to collaborative economy, conducted during the last 5 years. The positions in favor and against were contrasted on their influence on the consumption patterns of the people. We reviewed research that analyzed new business models created that are based on the collaborative economy. We identified the factors that are still controversial at present, which are proposed as new lines of research whose results contribute to understanding and acting against these new innovative trends that are emerging in the world. / Trabajo de Suficiencia Profesional

Exploring the possibilities for implementing Collaborative Consumption within Hammarby Sjöstad, Stockholm : Going beyond the visions of the citizen initiative HS2020Jöhnemark, Anna-Maja January 2015 (has links)
This is a futures study based on the citizen initiative HS2020 in Hammarby Sjöstad, Stockholm. The initiative has the vision to “Renew a new city”, and further develop Hammarby Sjöstad’s environmental profile towards a sustainable development until 2020. The aim of this study is to explore the possibilities for HS2020 to also work with Collaborative Consumption, which involves the sharing of goods, services, and space, as a contributing factor to the sustainable development of Hammarby Sjöstad. This study uses an explorative scenario approach together with backcasting, a normative scenario approach to create future images of Hammarby Sjöstad in 2020. These images explore the possibilities for HS2020 to also work with Collaborative Consumption in six of their sub-projects. The futures images were generated based on three workshops with participants connected to HS2020’s work, and also on the literature study and the collected background information. The future images of Hammarby Sjöstad mediate how HS2020 could further develop the existing sub-projects, by focusing more on Collaborative Consumption. The solutions presented in the theory could be implemented in Hammarby Sjöstad. They could be for anyone, restricted to members, within an apartment building or a small group of people that could also own and maintain the sharing solution. Other important actors are private companies, the municipality and non-profit organization that could initiate, own and maintain these sharing solutions. The future images show that they could contribute to increased sustainability in different ways.

Proposição de um modelo teórico de intenção de consumo colaborativo entre idades / Proposition of a theoretical model of collaborative consumption intention between agesParo, Carlos Eduardo 25 February 2019 (has links)
Embora o consumo colaborativo tenha ganhado cada vez mais a atenção dos pesquisadores nos últimos anos, os estudos nesta área ainda são muito limitados, sendo difícil determinar os fatores que contribuem para que ocorra uma mudança tão significativa no padrão de consumo. O trabalho, portanto, elabora um modelo de pesquisa, tendo como base a teoria do comportamento planejado, o materialismo e a possessividade, os valores de consumo verdes e a prontidão para o uso da tecnologia na intenção de consumo colaborativo. O modelo visa demonstrar empiricamente as diferenças entre os grupos de idades (mais jovens e mais velhos) na intenção, servindo então como uma variável moderadora. O modelo desenvolvido foi testado com aplicação de um questionário estruturado, a partir de um modelo de equação estrutural baseado em mínimos quadrados parciais (PLS). Foram coletados 493 respondentes válidos, com o grupo dos mais jovens (17 a 29 anos) tendo 303 respondentes e o grupo dos mais velhos (30 a 59 anos) tendo 190 respondentes. Os resultados revelam que a possessividade não possui relação estatística significativa com a intenção de consumo colaborativo, enquanto os construtos valores de consumo verde e de prontidão para o uso de tecnologias apresentaram relação positiva com o consumo colaborativo. A variável moderadora idade foi significativa somente entre os construtos prontidão para o uso de tecnologia e intenção de consumo colaborativo. Esta pesquisa aprofunda na compreensão dos fatores que motivam ou inibem o consumidor a se engajar no consumo colaborativo, considerando os construtos estudados, além de demonstrar a diferença entre os mais jovens e os mais velhos dentro desta relação. A contribuição gerencial se dá por meio do maior auxílio no entendimento do que afeta positivamente ou negativamente a intenção de consumo colaborativo por parte dos consumidores, o que permite a criação de estratégias por parte dos fornecedores de pares e das plataformas de consumo colaborativo, além de facilitar a segmentação de mercado ao considerar as diferenças de idade. Futuros estudos podem testar este modelo estrutural com amostras maiores, utilizando outro método de equação estrutural mais rigoroso, que é o modelo de equação estrutural baseado em covariância (CB-SEM), além de testarem outras variáveis moderadoras dentro deste modelo estrutural. / Although collaborative consumption has gained increasing attention among researchers in recent years, studies in this area are still very limited, and it is difficult to determine the factors that contribute to such a significant change in the consumption pattern. This work, therefore, elaborates a trsearch model, based on the theory of the planned behaviour, the materialism and possessiveness, the green consumption values and the readiness to use the technology in the collaborative consumption intention. The model aims to empirically demonstrate the differences between the age groups (younger and older) in this intention, serving as a moderating variable. The developed model was tested with the application of a structured questionnaire, using a structural equation model based on partial least squares (PLS). A total of 493 valid respondents were collected, with the group of the youngest (17 to 29 years old) having 303 respondents and the group of the oldest (30 to 59 years old) having 190 respondents. The results reveal that possessiveness does not have a significant statistical relationship with collaborative consumption intention, while the construct green consumption values and readiness for the use of technologies, presented positive relationship with collaborative consumption. The moderating age variable was significant only amongst constructs readiness to use the technology and collaborative consumer intention. This research deepens the understanding of the factors that motivate or inhibit the consumer to engage in collaborative consumption, considering the constructs studied, in addition to demonstrate the difference between younger and older consumers within this relationship. The managerial contribution comes through the the understanding of what positively or negatively affects collaborative consumption intention by the consumers, which allows the creation of strategies by the suppliers of peers and the collaborative consumer platforms. It also facilitates the segmentation of the market when considering the differences of age. Future studies can test this structural model with larger samples using a more rigorous structural equation method, which is the covariance-based structural equation model (CB-SEM), in addition to testing other moderating variables within this structural model.

Previous issue date: 2016-04-28 / Materialism is the importance assigned by the individual to the ownership and acquisition of material goods as a way to express personality and social identity. Collaborative consumption, in turn, corresponds to an alternate consumption mode in which the acquisition and ownership give way to practices arranged mainly around sharing and access. Given these definitions, there seems to be a conflict for more materialistic individuals when they consider adopting collaborative consumption practices. This study aimed to understand whether materialism is antecedent of propensity to adopt collaborative consumption practices. It also examined the relationship between materialistic individuals’ profiles and the importance attached to the reasons of adoption. For these purposes, a field survey with 223 telephone interviews was conducted with residents of the São Paulo metropolitan area. The reduced materialism scale developed by Richins (2004) and adapted by Ponchio and Aranha (2008) was used to measure this construct. The scale was validated in the context of this research. From the theoretical framework, four collaborative consumption modes were selected to be investigated: trading or selling used goods, renting or borrowing products, car rental and exchange of intangible goods (services). Similarly, the reasons for adoption were selected too. The results show that collaborative consumption is an option to be considered by more materialistic individuals, as long as it is not based on access, but in exchange or acquisition of used goods. One possible motivation for their engagement is the opportunity to acquire innovative products that contribute in some way to their social distinction. At the end, academic and managerial implications were discussed as well as the limitations of this study and recommendations for future research. / O materialismo refere-se à valorização que o indivíduo atribui à aquisição e ao acúmulo de bens como forma de expressão de sua personalidade e identidade social. O consumo colaborativo, por sua vez, corresponde a uma forma de consumo alternativa, na qual a aquisição e posse de bens cedem lugar a práticas de consumo organizadas, principalmente, em torno do compartilhamento e do acesso. Dadas estas definições, parece haver um conflito entre a adesão ao consumo colaborativo por parte de indivíduos mais materialistas. O objetivo deste estudo foi entender se o materialismo é antecedente da propensão de adesão às práticas de consumo colaborativo. Além disso, analisou-se também a relação entre o perfil materialista do indivíduo e a importância atribuída a aspectos motivadores da sua adesão ao consumo colaborativo. Para tanto procedeu-se um levantamento de campo com 223 entrevistas telefônicas realizadas junto a moradores da região metropolitana de São Paulo. A mensuração do materialismo foi feita por meio da escala reduzida de Richins (2004) adaptada por Ponchio e Aranha (2008). A escala foi validada no contexto desta pesquisa. A partir do referencial teórico foram selecionadas quatro práticas de consumo colaborativo a serem investigadas: troca ou venda de produtos usados, aluguel ou empréstimo de produtos, aluguel de carro e troca de bens intangíveis (serviços). Da mesma forma foram selecionados os motivadores de adesão. Os resultados apontam que o consumo colaborativo se apresenta como alternativa a ser adotada por indivíduos mais materialistas, desde que não seja baseado no acesso, e sim na troca ou aquisição de bens usados. Uma possível motivação para seu engajamento é a oportunidade de adquirir produtos inovadores, que contribuam de alguma forma para a sua distinção social. Ao final foram discutidas as implicações acadêmicas e gerenciais destes resultados, assim como suas limitações e as recomendações para pesquisas futuras.

Kläduthyrning - framtidens textila konsumtionssätt? : En undersökning av möjligheter för prenumerationsbaserad uthyrning av textila friluftsprodukter i Sverige / Clothing rental - the textile consumption of the future? : A research of possibilities of renting outdoor clothing through a subscription service.Lind, Amelia, Hageström, Anneli January 2019 (has links)
Denna studie undersöker möjligheter för utveckling av prenumerationsbaserad uthyrning av friluftskläder med utgångspunkt i pilotprojektet lanserat av företag X. Detta genom att besvara om det finns intresse och en potentiell marknad för uthyrning via prenumeration av friluftskläder, vad som krävs av en uthyrningstjänst för att konsumenter ska övergå till att prenumerera på att hyra sina kläder istället för att köpa nya, samt hur ett koncept kan utformas där utbudet upplevs som tillräckligt och personligt för varje kund. Studien drivs genom blandad metod och en abduktiv metodansats. Resultatet visar att det finns en potentiell marknad för prenumerationsbaserad uthyrning av friluftskläder men att många konsumenter inte känner behov att byta ut plaggen lika ofta som om det hade varit vardagskläder. Studiens respondenter är främst intresserade av paketerbjudande baserat på aktivitet. Bland de som inte är intresserade av att hyra alls svarar majoriteten att det är på grund av att de vill ha sina kläder tillgängliga hela tiden. För att locka konsumenter att hyra istället för att köpa krävs ett mervärde som inte fås vid köp. Detta skulle kunna skapas genom en gemenskap där användarna kan dela historier och bilder, men också genom prisfördelar, tillgänglighet och anpassningsbarhet. Utbudet bör vara personligt anpassat utifrån användarens intressen och planerade aktiviteter, men med möjlighet för viss valfrihet. Säsongsbaserad uthyrning är ett intressant alternativ då många respondenter gärna behåller plaggen en längre tid. Vidare diskuteras logistiklösningar med representanter som anordnar bytestillfällen i mindre städer där det inte finns möjlighet att ha en butik, samt vikten av att nischa sig mot en smalare kundgrupp snarare än gemene man. Det konstateras även att det krävs en större attitydförändring för att ändra konsumenters vanor och beteende från att köpa till att hyra istället. / This study investigates possibilities for the development of subscription based rental of outdoor clothing, with a base in a test project launched by company X. The study examines if there is a potential market for subscription-based outdoor clothing rental, what is required from such a service for consumers to switch from buying to renting their clothes and how such a concept can be designed to make the product range feel sufficient and personal for every customer. The study is implemented with a mixed method. The result is proving that there is a potential market for subscription based outdoor-clothing rental, but that many consumers don’t have the same need to update their outdoor clothes as often as their everyday clothes. The respondents are most interested in a package-offer based on their activities. Among the ones not interested in subscription based rental, the majority answered it’s because they want their clothes available at all times. Added value is needed to attract consumers to rent instead of buy, which could be gained by creating a community among the users. Other important aspects to gain value is through price advantages, availability and flexibility. The product range should be personally adjusted but with freedom of choice. Seasonal based subscription is an interesting option since many of the respondents want to use the product for a longer time. Logistic solutions are also discussed in the study and one option is to use agents who arranges swaps in smaller cities where there are no stores. The importance of focusing on a niched consumer are displayed, as well as the need of a great change in consumer attitude to be able to change habits and consumer behaviour.

Modelos de negócio adotados por empresas de compartilhamento de carros no contexto da mobilidade inteligente: estudos de caso múltiplos em empresas que atuam no Brasil / Business models adopted by car sharing companies in the context of smart mobility: multiple case studies in companies operating in BrazilSilva, André Koide da 05 April 2019 (has links)
As cidades inteligentes emergiram como uma alternativa no trato das dificuldades oriundas do crescimento populacional observado nas áreas urbanizadas. Entre as iniciativas propostas por essa nova abordagem nos espaços urbanos, destaca-se a mobilidade inteligente. Ela propõe o uso dos recursos tecnológicos a fim de aprimorar a experiência de deslocamento de pessoas e de cargas, objetivando melhorar a qualidade de vida dos cidadãos. Nesse contexto, ressalta-se a importância do compartilhamento de carros como uma das alternativas para reduzir os índices de congestionamento, a emissão de poluentes e a demanda por áreas de estacionamento; além disso, esse serviço promove a interação com outros modais de transporte e os hábitos mais saudáveis entre os indivíduos que os utilizam. Ao analisar os modelos de negócio das empresas que operam nesse mercado, notam-se diferentes modalidades: compartilhamento de carros (ida e volta), compartilhamento de carros (trecho único), compartilhamento de carros (P2P), compartilhamento de corridas e caronas, empresas de redes de transporte e serviços de táxi. Também é possível identificar estreita relação com o consumo colaborativo (também denominado economia compartilhada), fenômeno amplamente explorado a partir da década de 2000, que fomenta o uso ou acesso aos bens em detrimento da propriedade. Assim, os usuários de carros compartilhados podem utilizá-los sem a incidência das obrigações e dos custos fixos associados à posse desses bens. Ambos os paradigmas utilizam a Internet, as redes sociais, os sistemas de informação e os recursos tecnológicos para prover seus serviços e conectar os usuários, criando as chamadas plataformas multilaterais. Estas suportam a criação e a operação em espaços físicos ou virtuais, conectando diferentes grupos de usuários; assim, ao reduzir os custos e as dificuldades desses encontros, disponibiliza-se um ambiente favorável à realização das transações, ou seja, ao compartilhamento dos carros. Esta tese de doutorado aplicou a análise qualitativa comparativa (QCA), a técnica MSDO, a análise de conteúdo e a análise cruzada de casos aos modelos de negócio de 14 organizações que atuam no segmento de carros compartilhados com a finalidade de identificar e descrever como os componentes da mobilidade inteligente, do consumo colaborativo e das plataformas multilaterais foram incorporados nas operações dessas companhias por meio de estudos de caso múltiplos. Os resultados alcançados indicaram alguns fatores críticos do sucesso empresarial desses modelos de negócio, entre eles: a análise de dados massivos por intermédio de ferramentas de big data, a disponibilização de aplicativos para dispositivos móveis, a implementação dos recursos de segurança física e lógica para os usuários dos serviços de carros compartilhados, o estímulo à colaboração on-line e ao uso de redes sociais e a operação em um mercado regulamentado. Devido à causalidade assimétrica, também emergiram componentes associados ao insucesso, entre eles: a ausência do uso de ferramentas de big data para análise dos dados massivos dos usuários; a indisponibilidade de aplicativos para dispositivos móveis; os recursos ineficazes de segurança física e lógica; a adoção de estratégias inócuas ou ausentes para a resolução do problema de massa crítica nas plataformas multilaterais; a dificuldade na obtenção de recursos financeiros para realizar investimentos nos diferentes grupos de usuários e a operação em um mercado sem regulamentação. / Smart cities emerged as an alternative in dealing with the difficulties arising from population growth observed in urbanized areas. Among the initiatives proposed by this new approach in urban spaces, smart mobility stands out as an essential service for the operation of cities. It proposes the use of technological resources in order to improve the experience of moving people and cargo, aiming to improve the quality of life of citizens. In this context, the importance of car sharing is highlighted as one of the alternatives to reduce congestion rates, the emission of pollutants and the demand for parking areas; in addition, this service promotes interaction with other transport modes and healthier habits among the individuals who use it. When analyzing the business models of the companies that operate in this market, different modalities are observed: car sharing (round trip), car sharing (one way), car sharing (P2P), carpooling, transport network companies and taxi services. It is also possible to identify a close relationship with collaborative consumption (also called sharing economy), a phenomenon widely exploited since the last decade, which fosters the use or access to goods over property. Thus, users of shared cars can use them without the incidence of the obligations and the fixed costs associated with the possession of these goods. Both paradigms use the Internet, social networks, information systems and technological resources to provide their services and connect users, creating the so-called multisided platforms. These support operation in physical or virtual spaces, connecting different groups of users; thus, by reducing the costs and difficulties of these matches, a favorable environment is provided to carry out the transactions, that is, the car sharing. This PhD thesis applied the qualitative comparative analysis (QCA), the MSDO technique, content analysis and cross-case analysis to the business models of 14 organizations operating in the car sharing segment with the purpose of identifying and describing how the components of smart mobility, collaborative consumption and multisided platforms have been incorporated into the operations of these companies through multiple case studies. The results achieved indicated some critical success factors of these business models, among them: analyzing massive data through big data tools, making mobile applications available, implementing physical and logical security features for users of car sharing services, the stimulation of online collaboration and the use of social networks and the operation in a regulated market. Due to asymmetric causality, components associated with failure also emerged, among them: the absence of the use of big data tools to analyze the users\' massive data; the unavailability of mobile applications; inefficient physical and logical security features; the adoption of innocuous or absent strategies for solving the critical mass problem in multisided platforms; the difficulty in obtaining the financial resources to make investments in different groups of users and the operation in a market without regulation.

TALKING THE TALK EQUALS WALKING THE WALK? : A Quantitative Study of the Attitude-Action Gap in the Sharing EconomyNordström, Anders, Esseen, Rebecka January 2018 (has links)
Customer behavior has always been of interest for business researchers. However, it is just in recent years that there has been an increasing interest in the phenomenon of the sharing economy. It has been suggested that there is an ongoing shift in the traditional way of consuming. The idea behind the sharing economy is that two different parties can make use of their underused assets through an online platform. Previous quantitative research in the area of interest mainly focuses on the motivational factors for participation in the sharing economy; four of the most prominent factors were therefore identified and further investigated. In this thesis, these factors are referred to as drivers and more specifically, the drivers of enjoyment, sustainability, convenience, and financial benefits. Further, previous research gives an indication of a discrepancy between customer attitudes and actions when making a decision in the sharing economy. With this in mind, the purpose of this thesis is to describe customer behavior in the sharing economy. More specifically, this thesis seeks to study the relationship between attitudes and actions of customers in the sharing economy. Taking this into account, the following research question was formulated: What is the relationship between attitudes and actions of the customers participating in the sharing economy of Rentl AB? In order to fulfill the purpose of this thesis, the Swedish sharing economy business Rentl was addressed. To answer the research question a quantitative research strategy was followed where a survey was sent out to randomly chosen customers of Rentl and 145 responses were collected. The collected data was statistically analyzed by the use of Paired T-tests and Regression Analyses. Further, the empirical findings regarding the four identified drivers were analyzed in accordance with the theoretical framework. The identified attitude-action gap is therefore analyzed by the application of basic customer decision-making, the theory of Bounded Rationality, the Theory of Reasoned Action & the Theory of Planned Behavior, and finally the Self-Determination Theory. The authors established that there is a positive relationship between attitudes and actions regarding the extrinsic drivers, convenience and financial benefits. However, it was further established that the intrinsic drivers, enjoyment and sustainability, do not have a significant influence on the actual actions. In other words, a positive attitude toward enjoyment and sustainability as drivers for participation in the sharing economy does not necessarily translate into actions. Thus, the authors identified that there is an attitude-action gap in the sharing economy. In addition to the theoretical contributions, this research further contributes with practical aspects. More importantly, the sharing business Rentl is provided with a better understanding for the customer behavior in their business. Considering that the findings of this research identify convenience and financial benefits as significant drivers for participation, this can be emphasized in marketing contexts by managers.

Consumer Acceptance, Barriers and Success Factors of Peer-to-Peer Carsharing in Perspective of Connected Car Services and Autonomous VehiclesAmann, Volker 01 July 2017 (has links) (PDF)
Until now, car ownership has been a symbol of wealth and personal freedom. The high value of the car in society has been enforced by the powerful automotive industry with their well-funded marketing budgets. Currently, there are one billion cars worldwide, possibly increasing to 2,8 billion by 2050. However, the awareness of the negative consequences of car ownership on the environment, cities, and individuals in terms of reduced personal and financial freedom is increasing. The trend towards collaborative consumption involving activities like sharing and trading is leading to a shift from ownership to the access of goods and services. In this context, carsharing is receiving more and more attention and the number of users for B2C carsharing models is increasing exponentially. The least-developed business model with the biggest opportunities in terms of environmental benefits is peer-to-peer carsharing (P2P carsharing). Providers face daunting problems in reaching critical mass, due to a lack of consumer acceptance. Academic contributions on the topic are rare. The goal of this dissertation is to capture the acceptance factors, barriers and success factors for P2P carsharing. Additionally, the phenomenon is explored within the perspective of disruptive technologies, including the connected car and autonomous vehicles. A comprehensive literature review including collaborative consumption, carsharing, and in particular P2P carsharing, has been conducted. A mixed-method approach has been used. Qualitative interviews with leading academic and industry experts in the field of collaborative consumption and shared mobility, as well as a focus group discussion, have been executed. In the quantitative survey, the identified factors have been integrated into the Technological Acceptance Model (TAM), the theoretical foundation of the work. A representative survey was conducted in Austria with 801 respondents. The results were generated by applying a partial least squares analysis. Results show that the TAM model, including the extensions, appeared to be applicable. In particular, people with an innovative mindset are open to the usage of the business model. The main motivational factors for participating are economic, utility and enjoyment. The personal attachment towards one's own car remains one of the main barriers, next to fear of sharing and loss of convenience. Success factors in increasing acceptance are - among others - trust, value-added services and keyless car exchange. The preferred usage model for autonomous vehicles tends to be ownership. Even though the awareness of P2P carsharing is rather low among the Austrian population, 13,6% state that they would use the service. Sharing one's privately owned autonomous vehicle with others met with even higher levels of approval from the respondents. The extension of the TAM, as well as its application to a new field outside information system (IS) research, can be viewed as the major academic contribution of this work. Practical implications for P2P carsharing providers and the automotive industry include strategic recommendations regarding the current disruptive trends within the automotive industry. In particular, concrete measures have been identified to scale the business model by addressing new customers and reducing the identified barriers by providing extensive knowledge of relevant success factors.

Cultivating Collaborative Lifestyles in Urban NeighbourhoodsRatzinger, Sofia January 2018 (has links)
Despite the increase of urban populations resulting in people living in close proximity to each other, society continues to operate with a focus on individual desire and hyper-consumption, at the expense of the earth’s ecologies and all that encompasses it. How can we begin to cultivate an alternative consumption model that not only focuses on the conservation of ecologies but also begins to break away from ways in which “habits, routines, social norms and cultural values lock us into unsustainable behaviours”? (Botsman, R., Rogers, R. 2010). Collaboration, through its many forms, be it ‘commons’ or modern-day ‘sharing economy’, continues to be a topic of discussion as a favourable solution to environmental, social and economic issues. This paper and design project explores the everyday practice of collaboration and its potential for activating a network in urban neighbourhoods, specifically in high-density housing. The project explores: how we can share, where we can share, and what we can share, using the sharing of household items as a seed for sustainable development. The resulting project presents methods and guidelines for cultivating collaboration in the form of a multipurpose toolkit. The toolkit “Collaboration is Cultivation” enables individuals to become activists and implement collaborative practices in their own neighbourhood. Through designerly research and a design project I shed light on the potential of the coming-together of neighbors through collaborative lifestyles that can incrementally transform neighborhoods into one’s that are socially and environmentally, sustainable, resilient and thriving.

Previous issue date: 2016-04-19 / Ao conectarem diretamente viajantes e proprietários de imóveis, as plataformas online de aluguel por temporada vêm ganhando força, nos últimos anos, e, por representarem um tipo de inovação no setor de turismo, podem afetar diretamente os meios de hospedagem tradicionais. O presente estudo teve por objetivo investigar como esse tipo de consumo colaborativo afeta a competitividade dos meios de hospedagem localizados em cinco municípios do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, de acordo com a percepção de seus gestores.
