Book excerpt: The book titled The Collaborative Economy in Action: European Perspectives is one of the important outcomes of the COST Action CA16121, From Sharing to Caring: Examining the Socio-Technical Aspects of the Collaborative Economy (short name: Sharing and Caring; sharingandcaring.eu) that was active between March 2017 and September 2021. The Action was funded by the European Cooperation in Science and Technology - COST (www.cost.eu/actions/CA16121). The main objective of the COST Action Sharing and Caring is the development of a European network of researchers and practitioners interested in investigating the collaborative economy models, platforms, and their socio-technological implications. The network involves scholars, practitioners, communities, and policymakers. The COST Action Sharing and Caring helped to connect research initiatives across Europe and enabled scientists to develop their ideas by collaborating with peers. This collaboration opportunity represented a boost for the participants' research, careers, and innovation potential. The main aim of this book is to provide a comprehensive overview of the collaborative economy (CE) in European countries with a variety of its aspects for a deeper understanding of the phenomenon as a whole. For this reason, in July 2017, an open call for country reports was distributed among the members of the COST Action Sharing and Caring. Representatives of the member countries were invited to produce short country reports covering: definition(s) of the CE; types and models of the CE; key stakeholders involved; as well as legislation and technological tools relevant for the CE. Submitted reports varied in length and regarding the level of detail included, in accordance with how much information was available in each respective country at the time of writing. Editors of the book have compiled these early reports into a summary report, which was intended as a first step in mapping the state of the CE in Europe. The Member Countries Report on the Collaborative Economy, edited by Gaia Mosconi, Agnieszka Lukasiewicz, and Gabriela Avram (2018) that was published on the Sharing and Caring website, represented its first synergetic outcome and provided an overview of the CE phenomenon as interpreted and manifested in each of the countries part of the network. Additionally, Sergio Nassare-Aznar, Kosjenka Dumančić, and Giulia Priora compiled a Preliminary Legal Analysis of Country Reports on Cases of Collaborative Economy (2018). In 2018, after undertaking an analysis of the previous reports' strengths and weaknesses, the book editors issued a call for an updated version of these country reports. Prof. Ann Light advised the editorial team, proposing a new format for country reports and 4000 words limit. The template included: Introduction, Definition, Key Questions, Examples, Illustration, Context, Developments, Issues, Other Major Players, and Relevant Literature. The new template was approved by the Management Committee in October 2018. The task force that had supported the production of the first series of country reports (Dimitar Trajanov, Maria del Mar Alonso, Bálint Balázs, Kosjenka Dumančić, and Gabriela Avram) acted as mentors for the team of authors in each country. The final reports arrived at the end of 2018, bringing the total number of submissions to 30 (twenty-nine European countries plus Georgia). A call for book editors was issued, and a new editorial team was formed by volunteers from the participants of the COST Action: Andrzej Klimczuk, Vida Česnuityte, Cristina Miguel, Santa Mijalche, Gabriela Avram, Bori Simonovits, Bálint Balázs, Kostas Stefanidis, and Rafael Laurenti. The editorial team organized the double-blind reviews of reports and communicated to the authors the requirements for improving their texts. After reviews, the authors submitted updated versions of their country reports providing up-to-date interdisciplinary analysis on the state of the CE in 2019, when the reports were collected. During the final phase, the chapters were again reviewed by the lead editors together with all editorial team members. At the time, the intention was to update these reports again just before the end of the COST Action Sharing and Caring in 2021 and to produce a third edition. However, the COVID-19 pandemic changed these plans. Thus, this final volume was created by 82 scholars-editors and contributors-and consists of reports on 27 countries participating in the COST Action.

This book was released on 2019-05-13 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los incesantes y veloces avances sociales y tecnológicos a los que nos enfrentamos actualmente están suponiendo un cambio en los patrones de consumo de nuestra sociedad. En el ámbito del arrendamiento de viviendas con fines turísticos, tales avances tecnológicos han propiciado su expansión gracias al desarrollo de plataformas digitales que difunden, facilitan y simplifican el proceso de contratación. A ello deben sumarse las transformaciones sociales fruto del auge de la economía colaborativa y que influyen significativamente en un segmento importante de turistas que prefieren las viviendas vacacionales al alojamiento tradicional (hotelero o extrahotelero).El proceso expansivo de esta modalidad alojativa, ha supuesto su inclusión en las agendas legislativas. Esta circunstancia plantea, de entrada, el interrogante de si el arrendamiento con fines turístico debe ser considerado una modalidad de la economía colaborativa o si, por el contrario, estamos ante una actividad económica más. Por otra parte, la perspectiva regulatoria plantea además una serie de problemas en torno a la cuestión competencial, pues se produce una disociación entre aquellas materias susceptibles de regulación por el legislador nacional y aquellas otras que deben ser acometidas por el legislador autonómico. Precisamente, y desde el año 2013, el panorama normativo autonómico presenta un mosaico de regulaciones de variado carácter, si bien en líneas generales todas convergen en restringir la actividad de arrendamiento de viviendas de uso turístico. Una tendencia que ha terminado calando en la reciente modificación de las Leyes de Arrendamiento Urbano y de Propiedad Horizontal operada por el Real Decreto-ley 21/2018, de 14 de diciembre, de medidas urgentes en materia de vivienda y alquiler. A todo ello se suman las ordenanzas municipales, cada vez más restrictivas con la explotación de esta modalidad turística.Este cúmulo de circunstancias ha propiciado el nacimiento de esta obra en la que ofrecemos una visión interdisciplinar y transversal del fenómeno de las viviendas vacacionales o con fines turísticos, y en la que trataremos de dar respuesta a las numerosas incógnitas que plantea.

This book was released on 2019-07-19 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En la actualidad, el sector turístico está experimentando convulsos cambios pasando de ser un mercado regulado por la Administración Pública a una situación en la que han aparecido plataformas de internet que ejercen esta actividad de acuerdo únicamente con el criterio de prestación de un servicio de mediación prestado por plataformas colaborativas, entendido como un servicio de la sociedad de la información lo que implica una redefinición de roles de los agentes implicados de acuerdo con unos criterios también novedosos.Ciertamente, la rápida expansión de este modelo está causando incertidumbre en los actores reglados de la oferta turística y repercusiones negativas en la sostenibilidad del destino.Las plataformas virtuales están dando al traste con la planificación turística de las Administraciones Públicas, requisito necesario para asegurar la posibilidad del desarrollo a largo plazo y beneficio para la comunidad receptora, acercándonos al concepto de un turismo no sostenible.En este contexto de fuerte demanda turística, es decisivo incidir en la planificación y ordenación urbana con el fin de conciliar un turismo como motor del desarrollo económico y sostenibilidad de los destinos.Este trabajo, además de analizar el rol actual de las plataformas colaborativas en el ámbito del alojamiento, se realiza un análisis comparado de normativas vigentes en las distintas Comunidades Autónomas del país sobre alojamiento colaborativo desde la perspectiva de sostenibilidad turística (social, económica y ambiental).También se pone de relieve el principal problema que comporta este tipo de alojamiento colaborativo: las dificultades de las Administraciones Públicas para hacer cumplir las normas correspondientes tanto a las plataformas como a las viviendas de uso turístico, centrándonos en el papel que deben jugar las plataformas, las Administraciones Públicas y más concretamente la Inspección Turística.En el presente trabajo el lector podrá encontrar la normativa vigente en las distintas Comunidades Autónomas en torno al tema de nuestro país y también un exhaustivo y completo análisis de los problemas jurídicos inherentes a la proliferación de plataformas colaborativas en el ámbito del alojamiento turístico.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El progresivo e imparable éxito alcanzado en los últimos años por el alojamiento de corta estancia en viviendas particulares destinadas a un uso turístico ha provocado, sobre todo en ciudades con notable afluencia turística, un importante impacto social y económico que afecta directamente a los derechos e intereses de terceros ajenos a la relación contractual, y suscita graves enfrentamientos y litigios entre los profesionales del sector de alojamiento turístico, los propietarios de las viviendas cedidas en alquiler y las empresas que actúan como soporte de las plataformas de alojamiento colaborativo. La entidad de los derechos en conflicto (derecho a la vivienda, derecho a la libertad de empresa, derecho de propiedad, derecho al medioambiente…), si bien motiva que no sea fácil determinar la prevalencia de unos sobre otros, exige que cualquier limitación y restricción que se imponga a unos en favor de otros esté clara y objetivamente justificada. No ha sido este el camino seguido en nuestro ordenamiento jurídico en el que, so pretexto de defender el «interés general» y de luchar contra las «externalidades negativas», identificadas con la saturación de determinados espacios y servicios públicos, con la pérdida de identidad de las ciudades y con el alza de los precios de la vivienda en las áreas centrales, los legisladores han aprobado normas que exceden claramente de sus competencias y limitan en exceso el derecho individual de propiedad y el de libertad de empresa.

Download or read book Social and Solidarity Economy written by Peter Utting and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2015-04-09 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As economic crises, growing inequality and climate change prompt a global debate on the meaning and trajectory of development, increasing attention is focusing on 'social and solidarity economy' as a distinctive approach to sustainable and rights-based development. While we are beginning to understand what social and solidarity economy is, what it promises and how it differs from 'business as usual', we know far less about whether it can really move beyond its fringe status in many countries and regions. Under what conditions can social and solidarity economy scale up and scale out - that is, expand in terms of the growth of social and solidarity economy organizations and enterprises, or spread horizontally within given territories? Bringing together leading researchers, blending theoretical and empirical analysis, and drawing on experiences and case studies from multiple countries and regions, this volume addresses these questions. In so doing, it aims to inform a broad constituency of development actors, including scholars, practitioners, activists and policy makers.

Download or read book Protest and Resistance in the Tourist City written by Claire Colomb and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the globe, from established tourist destinations such as Venice or Prague to less traditional destinations in both the global North and South, there is mounting evidence that points to an increasing politicization of the topic of urban tourism. In some cities, residents and other stakeholders take issue with the growth of tourism as such, as well as the negative impacts it has on their cities; while in others, particular forms and effects of tourism are contested or deplored. In numerous settings, contestations revolve less around tourism itself than around broader processes, policies and forces of urban change perceived to threaten the right to ‘stay put’, the quality of life or identity of existing urban populations. This book for the first time looks at urban tourism as a source of contention and dispute and analyses what type of conflicts and contestations have emerged around urban tourism in 16 cities across Europe, North America, South America and Asia. It explores the various ways in which community groups, residents and other actors have responded to – and challenged – tourism development in an international and multi-disciplinary perspective. The title links the largely discrete yet interconnected disciplines of ‘urban studies’ and ‘tourism studies’ and draws on approaches and debates from urban sociology; urban policy and politics; urban geography; urban anthropology; cultural studies; urban design and planning; tourism studies and tourism management. This ground breaking volume offers new insight into the conflicts and struggles generated by urban tourism and will be of interest to students, researchers and academics from the fields of tourism, geography, planning, urban studies, development studies, anthropology, politics and sociology.

Download or read book An Introduction to Spatial Data Analysis written by Martin Wegmann and published by Pelagic Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2020-09-14 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about how ecologists can integrate remote sensing and GIS in their research. It will allow readers to get started with the application of remote sensing and to understand its potential and limitations. Using practical examples, the book covers all necessary steps from planning field campaigns to deriving ecologically relevant information through remote sensing and modelling of species distributions. An Introduction to Spatial Data Analysis introduces spatial data handling using the open source software Quantum GIS (QGIS). In addition, readers will be guided through their first steps in the R programming language. The authors explain the fundamentals of spatial data handling and analysis, empowering the reader to turn data acquired in the field into actual spatial data. Readers will learn to process and analyse spatial data of different types and interpret the data and results. After finishing this book, readers will be able to address questions such as “What is the distance to the border of the protected area?”, “Which points are located close to a road?”, “Which fraction of land cover types exist in my study area?” using different software and techniques. This book is for novice spatial data users and does not assume any prior knowledge of spatial data itself or practical experience working with such data sets. Readers will likely include student and professional ecologists, geographers and any environmental scientists or practitioners who need to collect, visualize and analyse spatial data. The software used is the widely applied open source scientific programs QGIS and R. All scripts and data sets used in the book will be provided online at book.ecosens.org. This book covers specific methods including: what to consider before collecting in situ data how to work with spatial data collected in situ the difference between raster and vector data how to acquire further vector and raster data how to create relevant environmental information how to combine and analyse in situ and remote sensing data how to create useful maps for field work and presentations how to use QGIS and R for spatial analysis how to develop analysis scripts

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La economía colaborativa ha originado un cambio relevante en el mercado de ciertos bienes y servicios, especialmente los turísticos, propiciando conflictos de intereses entre los sujetos intervinientes (empresarios, consumidores, plataformas intermediarias) y afectando a diversos intereses públicos, cuestionándose así la idoneidad de la normativa vigente. La regulación de este novedoso mercado de prestación de servicios turísticos y otros servicios colindantes o instrumentales plantea aún ciertos desafíos y retos, dada la heterogeneidad de derechos e intereses afectados (los derechos de los usuarios y consumidores, la libre concurrencia y la competencia desleal, la libertad de empresa, la unidad de mercado, la ordenación territorial, la convivencia social, el mismo modelo de ciudad sostenible...). Esta obra multidisciplinar ofrece el status quo actual de nuestro complejo ordenamiento jurídico territorial y sectorial, prestando una especial atención a la intervención de los poderes públicos administrativos en defensa de los intereses generales.

Download or read book Collective Courage written by Jessica Gordon Nembhard and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2015-06-13 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Collective Courage, Jessica Gordon Nembhard chronicles African American cooperative business ownership and its place in the movements for Black civil rights and economic equality. Not since W. E. B. Du Bois’s 1907 Economic Co-operation Among Negro Americans has there been a full-length, nationwide study of African American cooperatives. Collective Courage extends that story into the twenty-first century. Many of the players are well known in the history of the African American experience: Du Bois, A. Philip Randolph and the Ladies' Auxiliary to the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, Nannie Helen Burroughs, Fannie Lou Hamer, Ella Jo Baker, George Schuyler and the Young Negroes’ Co-operative League, the Nation of Islam, and the Black Panther Party. Adding the cooperative movement to Black history results in a retelling of the African American experience, with an increased understanding of African American collective economic agency and grassroots economic organizing. To tell the story, Gordon Nembhard uses a variety of newspapers, period magazines, and journals; co-ops’ articles of incorporation, minutes from annual meetings, newsletters, budgets, and income statements; and scholarly books, memoirs, and biographies. These sources reveal the achievements and challenges of Black co-ops, collective economic action, and social entrepreneurship. Gordon Nembhard finds that African Americans, as well as other people of color and low-income people, have benefitted greatly from cooperative ownership and democratic economic participation throughout the nation’s history.

Download or read book Overtourism written by Claudio Milano and published by CABI. This book was released on 2019-06-07 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the evolution of the phenomenon and explores the genesis of overtourism and the system dynamics underlining it. The 'overtourism' phenomenon is defined as the excessive growth of visitors leading to overcrowding and the consequential suffering of residents, due to temporary and often seasonal tourism peaks, that lead to permanent changes in lifestyles, amenities and well- being. Enormous tensions in overtourism affected destinations have driven the intensification of policy making and scholarly attention toward seeking antidotes to an issue that is considered paradoxical and problematic. Moving beyond the 'top 10 things you can do about overtourism', this book examines the evolution of the phenomenon and explores the genesis of overtourism as well as the system dynamics underpinning it. With a rigorous scientific approach, the book uses systems-thinking and contemporary paradigms around sustainable development, resilience planning and degrowth; while considering global economic, socio-political, environmental discourses. Researchers, analysts, policy makers and industry stakeholders working within tourism as well as those within the private sector, community groups, civil society groups and NGOs will find this book an essential source of information.
