Sažetak
Community-Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) has been recognized as an effective governance approach for sustainably managing common-pool resources or ‘the commons.’ Yet there is limited empirical research on answering the critical question: ‘What are the principles and key characteristics that are needed to ensure long-term effective and sustainable CBNRM programs?’ This research helps answer this question. For the first phase of this research, a multiplicity of perspectives from research teams were collected and organized into a matrix of 12 organizational principles and about 60 key characteristics. These were then vetted using a large published collection of World Bank CBNRM case studies. The second phase of this research included site visits and the use of Q-sort methodology to understand the perspectives of a range of constituency groups associated with three successful forestry CBNRM sites. These sites are located in the Apuseni Mountains of Romania ; Randolph, New Hampshire ; and Ixtlán de Juárez of Oaxaca, Mexico. The findings, based upon conducting principle component multi-variable analysis of the sociological and organizational data, point to four unique perspectives as to what is essential for effective governance of their common-pooled resources. There were also a number of areas of consensus. Some of these findings transcend cultural differences, while others are associated with specific local conditions and cultural characteristics.
