Fatma İşler , Hülya Bakırtaş

Abstract

In this study, the recent changes in consumption are examined in the context of the sharing economy and how the related concepts are handled in the literature. Solid consumption, which reflects a long-term and property-based consumption style, is handled in the materialist consumption logic, while liquid consumption, which reflects a more temporary and access-based consumption style, is characterized by concepts such as flexibility and adaptability. In this direction, descriptive research was carried out, and 11 academic publications with “solid consumption” and “liquid consumption” in their titles or keywords formed the basis of the study. As a result of the study, it was seen that most of the published studies on solid and liquid consumption were designed as a literature review, and the focus of the studies was the dimensions of solid and liquid consumption in the digitalized world, liquid modernity in the context of sharing economy, and understandings of related concepts in different sectors. There are limited studies on the subject. This situation increases the need for conceptual and empirical studies.

Katı Ve Akışkan Tüketim Üzerine Bir Araştırma

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, son zamanlarda tüketimde meydana gelen değişimler, paylaşım ekonomisi bağlamında irdelenerek, ilgili kavramların literatürde nasıl ele alındığı incelenmektedir. Uzun süreli ve mülkiyete dayalı bir tüketim şeklini yansıtan katı tüketim, materyalist tüketim mantığında ele alınırken, daha geçici ve erişime dayalı bir tüketim şeklini yansıtan akışkan tüketim ise, esneklik ve uyumluluk gibi kavramlarla karakterize edilmektedir. Bu doğrultuda betimsel bir araştırma gerçekleştirilmiş, başlığında veya anahtar kelimelerinde “katı tüketim” ve “akışkan tüketim” geçen 11 akademik çalışma, araştırmanın temelini oluşturmuştur. Yapılan çalışma sonucunda, katı ve akışkan tüketime ilişkin yayınlanmış çalışmaların çoğunun literatür incelemesi şeklinde tasarlandığı, odaklandığı konuların ise dijitalleşen dünyada katı ve akışkan tüketime ilişkin boyutlar, paylaşım ekonomisi bağlamında akışkan modernite, farklı sektörlerde ilgili kavramlara ilişkin anlayışlar şeklinde olduğu görülmüştür. Konuya ilişkin sınırlı çalışma vardır. Bu durum, kavramsal ve ampirik çalışmalara olan ihtiyacı arttırmaktadır.
