Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the integration of electric scooters (e-scooters) into sustainable transportation systems within a conceptual framework from the perspective of the sharing economy business model by addressing sharing economy applications in the context of sustainability and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The study also aims to examine and discuss the ecological footprint and environmental gains of these micro-mobility tools on a scientific basis, especially by addressing the environmental sustainability dimensions of shared e-scooters. In the study the systematic review method was adopted and the relevant literature on was searched using seven academic databases with high national and international recognition and reliability: Academic Search Elite (EBSCO), ScienceDirect, SAGE Journals Online, Taylor & Francis Online, Emerald Premier, ProQuest - Science Database (ProQuest) and Google Scholar. The search was conducted using the keywords "Sharing Economy", "Sustainability", "Sustainable Development Goals", "Sustainable Transportation" and "Shared Electric Scooters" and covered the years 2008-2025 without any language restrictions. All the studies obtained were subjected to title and abstract, and then full text review, and at the end of the process, 90 academic studies that were found suitable for inclusion in the study were interpreted and integrated into the study. The results indicate that the shared usage model promoted by the sharing economy can contribute to sustainability and sustainable development by enabling more efficient and effective resource utilization. Adopting an access-based model instead of ownership-oriented approaches has been found to have the potential to generate significant environmental benefits in the context of sustainable transportation, particularly by reducing traffic congestion, lowering carbon emissions, and minimizing air pollution through shared e-scooter use. Furthermore, it is emphasized that, with appropriate infrastructure improvements and the implementation of regulatory policies, shared e-scooters could play a significant role in helping cities achieve their sustainability goals.

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı paylaşım ekonomisi uygulamalarını sürdürülebilirlik ve Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Hedefleri (SKH) bağlamında ele alarak, elektrikli skuterlerin (e-skuter) sürdürülebilir ulaşım sistemlerine entegrasyonunu paylaşım ekonomisi iş modeli perspektifinden kavramsal bir çerçevede incelemektir. Paylaşımlı e-skuterlerin özellikle çevresel sürdürülebilirlik boyutları ele alınarak, bu mikro hareketlilik araçlarının ekolojik ayak izi ve çevresel kazanımlarının bilimsel bir temelde irdelenmesi ve tartışılması da çalışmanın amaçları arasındadır. Çalışmada sistematik derleme yöntemi benimsenmiş ve ilgili literatür ulusal ve uluslararası tanınırlığı yüksek ve güvenilir olan yedi akademik veri tabanı kullanılarak taranmıştır: Academic Search Elite (EBSCO), ScienceDirect, SAGE Journals Online, Taylor & Francis Online, Emerald Premier, ProQuest – Science Database (ProQuest) ve Google Scholar. Tarama “Paylaşım Ekonomisi”, “Sürdürülebilirlik”, “Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Hedefleri”, “Sürdürülebilir Ulaşım” ve “Paylaşımlı Elektrikli Skuter” anahtar kelimeleri kullanılarak yapılmış ve herhangi bir dil sınırlaması olmadan 2008-2025 yıllarını kapsayacak şekilde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen tüm araştırmalar başlık ve özet, ardından da tam metin incelemesine tabi tutulmuş süreç sonunda çalışmaya dahil edilmeye uygun bulunan 90 akademik araştırma yorumlanmış ve çalışmaya entegre edilmiştir. Sonuçlar, paylaşım ekonomisinin teşvik ettiği ortak kullanım modelinin, kaynakların daha etkin ve verimli kullanımını sağlayarak sürdürülebilirlik ve sürdürülebilir kalkınmaya katkıda bulunabileceğini göstermektedir. Mülk sahipliği yerine erişim temelli bir modelin benimsenmesi sürdürülebilir ulaşım bağlamında paylaşımlı e-skuterlerin şehirlerdeki trafik tıkanıklığını azaltma, karbon salınımını ve hava kirliliğini minimize etme gibi çevresel açıdan önemli etkiler yaratma potansiyeline sahip olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Ayrıca, uygun altyapı iyileştirmeleri ve düzenleyici politikaların uygulanmasıyla paylaşımlı e-skuterlerin şehirlerin sürdürülebilirlik hedeflerine ulaşmasında önemli bir rol oynayabileceği vurgulanmaktadır.
