Ecosystem Service Partnership (ESP) Conference ‘Local action for the common good’
San José, Costa Rica , September 8-12, 2014
Focus of the CiVi.net Project
1.) Community-based ecosystem service
management solutions
2.) Role of civil society actors
within such kind of solutions
Project Overview – Aims
successful solutions for community based ecosystem service management
Analysis
Transfer
Dissemination
What kind of institutions and actors
support successful ecosystem
management approaches?
How the actors establish goals?
How actors define rules for reaching the defined goals?
How actors control outcomes following from the use of these rules?
Governance is about forming institutional structures. It concerns
making social priorities, resolving conflicts and facilitating human
coordination (cf. Paavola, 2007, Vatn, 2010).
Framework for governance analysis
Scalelevel of analysis
Local/community level
NIE: Williamson, 2000
Rules of the game
- change of rules and their enforcement -
- change of their roles, constellation and
modes of interaction -
Play of the game (by actors)!

Community-based management
Community definitions refer to a group of people, who:
i) live in the same geographical area, region, landscape;
ii) are co-located in the same administrative unit;
iii) share a certain interest, pursuit, or occupation;
iv) distinguish themselves by nationality, race, ethnicity, religion, sexuality;
v) are tied by social bonds and share common values; or
vi) are connected through shared ownerships in goods and property.
Three basic notions:
a) place vs. b) institutional structures vs. c) social interaction
(SDC 2013)
Our definition (draws from all three notions):
Community-based management
Why is it interesting to look at the community level?
•
: system of command and control, resource
allocation according to existing power structures
•
voluntary exchange between individual agents,
resource allocation according to their willingness to pay
•
cooperation!, resource allocation
according to individual and
common goals, community
Community
allocation rest to a large extent
management
on a general rule of
reciprocity
(cf. Vatn, 2010; Ostrom, 1990)
Community-based management
Why is it interesting to look at the community level?
Community level is essential if a solution for a specific
environmental problem in a specific social-cultural context
.
The complexity of our social-ecological system often require
such kind of rules (transaction costs).
Weaknesses of hierarchy and market rules can require such
kind of rules.
Community
People will only develop and accept such kind of voluntary rules
if solutions improvedmanagement
livelihoods and nature conservation goals
and the issue of equity is considered.
Identification of our Case Studies
• Latin America
• Community-based approaches are essential part of the solution
(the governance type)
• Civil society actors involved
How did we find
our successful
solutions?
Our CSO partners suggested
successful solutions.
CiVi.Net Case Studies – Our successful Stories
Community-based solutions ->
improved livelihoods + conservation:
• Marujá: Management plan (‘nogrow’ strategy, eco-tourism)
• Santa Catarina: Improved grassland
management (Voisin system)
Santa Catarina
• Tocantins: Energy source switch
ceramic industries (native firewood
to rice husk, SOCIALCARBON®)
• Osa: Blue carbon (mangrove reforestation, environmental
education, community capacitation)
