Abstract

Traditional practices which have great value to society like cooperation, supporting, sharing and social cohesion are diminishing. Events that require collaborative work are losing ground. The purpose of this paper is to create awareness and understanding of the traditional practices and to investigate new ways on how communities can reestablish sharing assets of special events by accessing to each other’s re-sources aiming at reducing expenses and material wastage in communities. In the process important theoretical background of the sharing economy is provided, consisting key terms and practices that communities give great value.

Literature review of sharing economy and asset sharing in particular was carried out on google scholar and samk Finna data bases. The importance of modern technologies in sharing economy was reviewed from different websites. This was followed by quantitative research to reach out selected respondents.

The study found that sharing is declining even though people are willing to continue its practice. The results show that the current sharing methods and systems need changes to reestablish sharing economy. The modern technology and information age offer people new ways of coordinating sharing. Asset sharing can recover as technology is introduced and implemented as important service to communities.
