Abstract

Contemporary problems related to the poor condition of our natural environment force changes in management models. The model that the economy has followed so far is a linear model - a highly consumption-based model that leads to an increased amount of waste and pollution, and consequently to not taking into account the interests of all stakeholders. As cities struggle with numerous problems (including a constantly growing population, pollution, demand for raw materials, etc.) they should change the way they are managed. The aim of the study is to identify which of them are most often used by these cities. The research questions asked in the article are: what is the role of the city as an authority in these models - is it an implementer or a recipient of circular models solutions? According to the current state of knowledge, is it possible to say that thanks to circular models used in cities the quality of life of residents is improving (from an environmental and social perspective)? The research method used was a review of professional literature (WoS and Scopus databases, as well as full-text databases), internet sources and reports. Three types of circular business models, in which Swedish and Dutch cities participate, were identified. The models that are used predominantly in cities in both Sweden and the Netherlands are models of sharing consumption. Cities as authorities assume different roles - they are both implementers and recipients of the models. It cannot be stated unequivocally that the introduction of circular business models in the current form has a positive effect on the quality of life in a city. Therefore, further research and experiments must be carried out, e.g. in the direction of expanding these models.

瑞典和荷兰城市的循环商业模式
与我们恶劣的自然环境条件有关的当代问题迫使管理模式发生变化。到目前为止,经济所遵循的模型是一个线性模型,这是一个高度基于消费的模型,导致废物和污染的增加,从而没有考虑到所有利益相关者的利益。随着城市与众多问题(包括不断增长的人口、污染、对原材料的需求等)作斗争,它们应该改变管理方式。这项研究的目的是确定这些城市最常使用的是哪一种。文章中提出的研究问题是:城市作为这些模型中的权威机构的作用是什么——它是循环模型解决方案的实施者还是接受者?根据目前的知识状况,是否可以说,由于城市中使用的循环模型,居民的生活质量正在改善(从环境和社会角度来看)?所使用的研究方法是对专业文献(WoS和Scopus数据库,以及全文数据库)、互联网来源和报告进行综述。确定了瑞典和荷兰城市参与的三种循环商业模式。主要在瑞典和荷兰城市使用的模式是共享消费模式。作为当局的城市承担着不同的角色——它们既是模式的实施者,也是模式的接受者。不能毫不含糊地说,目前形式的循环商业模式的引入对城市的生活质量有积极影响。因此,必须进行进一步的研究和实验,例如在扩展这些模型的方向上。
