The "sharing economy" describes a type of business built on the sharing of resources - allowing customers to access goods when needed. While sharing goods has always been a common practice among friends, family, and neighbors, in recent years, the concept of sharing has moved from a community practice into a profitable business model. This study explores gaps between customers' actual usages and current policies on accommodation sharing by analyzing what needs to be done for the better establishment of sharing economy in society. The purpose of this study is to investigate perceptions of accommodation sharing by analyzing reviews and negative aspects that help resolve complaints and improve better services through policy establishment. This study investigates key attributes that influence business performance to improve citizens' decision-making for the usage of accommodation sharing. This study applies qualitative research by collecting demand- and supply-side reviews from selected registered accommodations using a random sampling procedure. This study finds that guests prefer entire house sharing with instrumental attributes related to properties. Entire house sharing of multiple dwellings shows business impacts in terms of high occupancy rate on the platform, while there are policy concerns with entire house sharing. The results provide policy and managerial implications by suggesting proper policies and considering relationships with citizens.

The paper analyzes a copyright owning firm's incentive to enforce its copyright in the presence of file-sharing networks. I devise a two-period model where a copyright owner sells two different versions of a creator's information good, and show that the firm's overall profits are enhanced by a strategy of differential inter-temporal enforcement of the copyright protection, compared to strategies of no enforcement or full enforcement in both periods. If the firm enforces no copyright protection in the first period, the low-valuation consumers may make and consume copies that are imperfect substitutes for the original information good. If there is a significant increase in the willingness-to-pay of some low-valuation consumers after they experience the information good, the firm can extract the increased consumer surplus by enforcing a positive level of copyright protection in the second period. Social welfare, however, is maximized in the case of no enforcement.

Development of ICT technologies leads exponential growth of various sharing economy over the last couple of years. The intuitive advantage of the sharing economy is efficient utilization of idle goods and services, but there are safety and security concerns. In this paper, we propose a onetime password based access control system to support secure accommodation sharing service and show the implementation results. To provide a secure service to both the provider and the user, the proposed system issues a onetime access password that is valid only during the sharing period reserved by the user, thereafter access returns to the accommodation owner. Especially, our system provides secure user access by merging the two elements of speaker recognition using voice and a one-time password to open and close the door lock. In this paper, we propose a secure system for accommodation sharing services as a use-case, but the proposed system can be applicable to various sharing services utilizing security-sensitive facilities.

The sharing economy has been evaluated as a sustainable system dominating the next 10 years and one of the 10 ideas which can change the world. The purpose of this study is to reveal whether there is any relevance between the sharing economy and libraries, if the library can be the core model of the sharing economy, and to propose how libraries could contribute to a sharing economy. To this end, literature related to the sharing economy and the actual cases of its implementation were analyzed. The results are as follows: First, the library was evaluated as a successful model of the sharing economy because it has shared information and tools for centuries. Therefore, it was concluded that the library could be an institution that can lead to a sharing economy. Second, it was analyzed that the library could foster the sharing economy through offering its space, and functioning as the infinite imagination room and smart work center, sharing goods through Little Free Libraries, as well as various other resources of library, and sharing various types of knowledge including reference services. Third, it can be said that the possibility of realizing a shared economy in libraries is inexhaustible, and librarians can play an active role and will positively influence the success or failure in terms of realizing the sharing economy. In the future, there needs to be a study to measure the practices and the performance of the sharing economy of libraries.

The purpose of this study is to let the entire logistics system be managed in cyberspace by effectively sharing the logistics information between companies involved in the process, changing conventional commerce to electronic commerce. Most of the goods traded through electronic commerce are small goods involving small business transactions. This produces many problems in shipping and delivery and the leads an inefficient logistics system. Another problems is that there is no sharing of information that process the logistics flow and no systematic management of pick-up and delivery information. As a result, rise in logistics cost, longer delivery period and poor service quality are inevitable and these results are becoming an obstacle in the widespread usage of the electronic commerce. Companies that are part of logistics center can cooperate logistics business in Cyber space and share the entire logistics information through the cyber logistics center. This turns out in effective sharing of logistics information, and thus, allows efficient management of logistics, improves logistics service, and reduces logistics cost.

This study focuses on how clothing can increase in the age of the shared economy and as an alternative to the capitalist economy of the 21st century. This study investigates how infants and children use clothes as they undergo many changes based on physical growth, identifies use and disposal methods for surplus clothing from the perspective of a shared economy and explores plans to foster an environment for the healthy use of clothes. The objectives of this study are as follows. First, identify the need for new clothes based on physical changes in the human body; second, propose an alternative to permanent disposal by making used clothes appropriate for temporary disposal (renting and leasing). In sharing services, the condition and quality of the product were found to be the most important factors. The condition and quality of the product (70.0%) were the most important factors in sharing services. The sharing services for clothes and goods of infants and children could become popular quickly if there was a reliability guarantee offered by such sharing services. In addition, providing trial services and aggressive publicity for sharing services is urgent for the expansion of opportunities for general consumers.
