Abstract

This study proposes a Sharia-compliant crowdsourcing model for public transportation management within the sharing economy framework. While digital platform-based mobility services have improved efficiency and accessibility, conventional sharing economy models often raise ethical and governance concerns, including labor exploitation, information asymmetry, and limited accountability. This research aims to develop a conceptual framework that integrates crowdsourcing, digital platform coordination, and Islamic economic governance. A conceptual research design with systematic literature synthesis is employed to construct the model. The proposed framework positions passengers, drivers, and platform operators as co-producers of transportation services through real-time data sharing, participatory evaluation, and collaborative decision-making. Sharia principles such as justice (adl), public welfare (maslahah), mutual cooperation (ta’awun), and the prohibition of excessive uncertainty (gharar) are embedded through transparent contracts, equitable revenue-sharing mechanisms, and institutional oversight. The findings suggest that integrating ethical governance into digital mobility systems can enhance trust, sustainability, and social legitimacy. This study contributes theoretically to transportation management, the sharing economy, and Islamic economics, while providing a foundation for future empirical research and policy development.
