Dra wing on Social Practice Theory and an institutional perspective\, the revi ew examines how sustainability practices are configured\, enacted\, and re produced within everyday hosting contexts.\n\nSustainability has become an increasingly important concern in P2PA research\, particularly in relatio n to environmental impacts\, community relations\, and responsible consump tion. P2PA provides a particularly informative empirical setting because s ustainability is enacted through the continual integration of environmenta l\, social\, cultural\, and economic practices within everyday host–gues t\, community\, and place-based interactions. However\, existing research has often focused on structural conditions\, consumer attitudes\, and sust ainability outcomes\, with comparatively less attention to how sustainabil ity is enacted through hosts’ everyday practices.\n\nHosts play a centra l role in translating sustainability into everyday accommodation practices through their daily decisions and interactions. Understanding how hosts i nterpret\, adapt\, and enact sustainability is therefore essential for exp laining how sustainability is realised in P2PA. This presents not only a substantive research gap but also a methodological challenge for evidence synthesis: how can evidence of sustainability practice be identified acros s studies that conceptualise and examine sustainability in different ways? \n\nThis study addresses this challenge through a qualitative systematic l iterature review of host-level sustainability practices in P2PA. Guided by an interpretivist perspective\, the review combines a PRISMA-informed sea rch and screening process with qualitative thematic synthesis. Searches of Web of Science and Scopus identified 762 records published between 2008 a nd December 2025. After deduplication\, 492 records were screened\, 72 und erwent full-text assessment\, and 69 studies were included in the final sy nthesis. \n\nA central methodological feature is a practice-first screenin g and coding strategy. Rather than treating all studies framed as sustaina bility research as equivalent sources of practice evidence\, the review di stinguishes between empirical evidence of enacted host practices and studi es focused primarily on guest attitudes\, sustainability intentions\, plat form policies\, or destination-level outcomes. Studies providing direct ev idence of what hosts do\, implement\, or manage are treated as core eviden ce. Studies offering host-actionable recommendations without directly exam ining host practices are considered supplementary contextual evidence. Thi s distinction strengthens analytical clarity by preventing recommendations and intentions from being conflated with observed practices.\n\nThe synth esis combines Social Practice Theory with an institutional perspective. NV ivo-assisted thematic analysis examines how sustainability practices are c onfigured through meanings\, competences\, and materials\, while also cons idering institutional influences such as platform governance\, market pres sures\, community infrastructure\, and regulatory arrangements. This appro ach connects everyday hosting activities with the wider conditions that en able\, constrain\, and reshape them.\n\nThe findings identify selective en actment as a key process: sustainability practices are rarely simply adopt ed or rejected\, but are modified\, combined\, maintained\, or abandoned i n response to hosts’ values\, capabilities\, resources\, guest expectati ons\, and wider institutional conditions. The analysis also reveals creati ve value integration\, whereby practices such as local sourcing\, cultural storytelling\, waste reduction\, and community collaboration can simultan eously support sustainability\, guest experience\, business differentiatio n\, and community benefits.\n\nThe presentation concludes by considering t he wider methodological implications of practice-oriented qualitative synt hesis. It demonstrates how clearly defining the actor and unit of analysis \, distinguishing enacted practices from attitudes and prescriptions\, and integrating micro-level practices with institutional contexts can generat e more meaningful explanations from heterogeneous research. More broadly\, the study highlights the importance of explicit conceptual boundaries and transparent screening decisions when synthesising heterogeneous interdisc iplinary literatures\, particularly where broad social science concepts ar e conceptualised and operationalised in different ways across studies.
