Organizational Changes in Forest Management

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Forests and Rural Development

Part of the book series: Tropical Forestry ((TROPICAL,volume 9))

Abstract

This chapter describes the evolution of forest management organizations in the tropics from pre-colonial times up to the present, based on a review of literature and on case studies. In general, organizations are designed to suit the prevailing political and economic frame conditions. Generic models for forest management organizations are identified. The portfolio of these models is structured according to the sources of their production factors, namely labor, capital and land. Some contemporary organization models are outlined, detailing the inputs, the processes and the outputs. The models’ functions, specific designs and relevance for rural development are stressed. Steering, monitoring and enforcement of capacity are understood as core issues with respect to further development of forest management organizations.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Ostrom (1990, p. 90) identified the following principles for enduring common-pool resource institutions: (1) clearly defined boundaries (individuals or households with rights to withdraw resource units from the common-pool resource and the boundaries of the common-pool resource itself are clearly defined); (2) congruence (A. The distribution of benefits from appropriation rules is roughly proportionate to the costs imposed by provision rules. B. Appropriation rules restricting time, place, technology and/or quantity of resource units are related to local conditions); (3) collective-choice arrangements (most individuals affected by operational rules can participate in modifying operational rules); (4) monitoring (monitors, who actively audit common-pool resource conditions and user behavior, are accountable to the users and/or are the users themselves); (5) graduated sanctions (users who violate operational rules are likely to receive graduated sanctions, depending on the seriousness and context of the offence, from other users, from officials accountable to these users, or from both); (6) conflict resolution mechanisms (users and their officials have rapid access to low-cost, local arenas to resolve conflict among users or between users and officials); (7) minimal recognition of rights (the rights of users to devise their own institutions to organize are not challenged by external governmental authorities). For common-pool resources that are part of larger systems: (8) nested enterprises (appropriation, provision, monitoring, enforcement, conflict resolution and governance activities are organized in multiple layers of nested enterprises).
