Abstract:
|
"The paper attempts to study a few village-level institutional efforts, both formal institutions as well as informal institutions, in which locals have taken the initiative to develop a sustainable mechanism to manage their CPRs. Cooperatives which were involved in natural resource management, agricultural produce marketing and developing micro-level financial resource building on one side and informal village associations trying to meet community needs by developing mechanisms and methods to bring CPRs to reach of one and all are studied to understand the processes that locals adopt. Based on the study, the dynamics of the community's relation to the CPR in terms of its interchanging roles, and the process of building sustainability in such an institution has been presented in the paper."
