Community-Based Natural Resource Management

The past few decades have witnessed the proliferation of public concerns and scholarly works in the field of community-based natural resource management (CBNRM). A growing body of literature on this topic has addressed many of the relevant issues, including the collective action, common property resources management, the role of social capital, the impact on poverty alleviation, and so on. However, there still remains much to be learned about the core issues and challenges of CBNRM. A prominent feature of CBNRM is that it requires collective participation, which is a topic worth being addressed. Nevertheless, we have limited understanding of the factors that influence communal participation in the collective stewardship of natural resources. Also, CBNRM programs operating in collective circumstances face special challenges because the relationship between participation and effectiveness is more complex than in individual circumstances. Further, making collective engagement has the advantage of establishing joint-liability mechanisms with strong incentives for contract compliance. However, group engagement may perversely incentivize individual participants in the program to free ride on the efforts of other group members.

In this symposium, three professionals in this field show their empirical results, which has important policy implications not only for Japan but also for the emerging economies in Asia. The hosting body, the Association for Regional Agricultural and Forestry Economics, provides fellow members with an opportunity to give some thoughts to this topic of academic and practical importance.
