Sananeri Tank irrigation system, India | Case |
| The resource appropriated from Sananeri Tank is water for irrigation. The resource discussed in this study includes a tank and the channels that divert water to the field. The author shows that nonformal local cultivators associations make an important contribution to the overall performance of the irrigation system, even where government agencies are formally responsible for irrigation. Such organizations mobilize local resources in various tasks, including inspection and repair of physical... | 09 Aug 2016 |

| The farms served by the Sabangan Bato Irrigation System are located in the adjoining Barrios of Panangpan, Sabangan Bato, and Bidbiday of the town of Galimuyod in the Ilocos Sur Province in the Philippines. The resource appropriated is water for irrigation in canals that divert water from the Candon River to the adjacent farmlands, and open wells located over the fields. At the beginning of the period, there was a moderate shortage of biological and physical resources withdrawn compared to the... | 09 Aug 2016 |
Rusembilan Kembong Fishery, Thailand | Case |
| The fishing village of Rusembilan is situated on the shore of the Gulf of Thailand, about 3 and half miles from the provincial capital, Pattani. Fishing, which is largely seasonal, is the most important occupation, followed by rice cultivation. The original case spans from 1956 to 1964 and catalogues an action situation involving approximately 1,000 villagers; the resource units are kembong (species of mackerel) and udang ako (species of prawn). Social relationships and communication in... | 09 Aug 2016 |
Resource Dynamics Under Harvest and Sunk Cost Effects | Model |
| This is a simple model for resource dynamics under harvest. The authors added expected effects of investment in fixed structures on the dynamics of settlement. These sunk-cost effects are not included in this simple model.The authors introduce a model of logictically regrowing resource exploited by a consumer. There is only one variable, which is level of local renewable sources. Parameters are: local renewable resources (R), settlement of humans (H), maximum growth rate (g), maximum level of... | 29 Nov 2017 |

Timber... | 09 Aug 2016 |
Pumpa Irrigation System, Central region, Nepal | Case |
| The Pumpa Irrigation System draws water from the Pumpa river to serve approximately 120 households. It is a "north-south" system and is in an area with relatively steep terrain. This case was analyzed using a stylized dynamic model to assess its capacity to cope with new challenges from global change. The model suggested that the adaptive water allocation rules used by the community (sequential, 12 and 24 hour rotations) could significanty enhance the robustness of the system to increased... | 09 Aug 2016 |
Pumpa Irrigation System | Model |
| In this case, the surface water level is modeled by a first order differential equation. There are six sections with equal area that are allocated water based on institutions that determine how long each sector receives water, and in what order. Water is allocated to a given sector by opening and closing gates along the irrigation canals. Based on these allocations, each sector maintains a crop yield depending on the amount of time that maintains their water level within the bounds of a desired... | 09 Aug 2016 |
Port Phillip Bay Scallop Fishery | Case |
| Port Phillip Bay is a large bay in southern Victoria, Australia.The resource appropriated from Port Phillip Bay are scallops. In this case study, the authors describe the scallop fishery and the evolution of its management system after stocks declined. Over time rules such as licenses, individual quotas, and closed seasons have been introduced to manage the resource. This case was part of the original CPR database developed in the 1980s by Edella Schlager and Shui Yan Tang at Indiana... | 09 Aug 2016 |
Pinagbayanan irrigation system | Case |
| The Pinagbayanan Irrigation System is located in Barrio Pinagbayanan, Laguna in Philippines. The resource appropriated related to the social dilemma is water for irrigation appropriated and distributed by two water pumps and canals that deliver water from the pumps to rice fields, and a gravity irrigation system managed by the National Irrigation Administration.

Pezzey-Anderies Model | Model |
| This model describes the Pezzey-Anderies extension to the Brander-Taylor Easter Island model. In addition to the parameters in the Brandor-Taylor model, Pezzey and Anderies have introduced $tax$ and $h_m$. Pezzey and Anderies (2003) gives the following overview: "We extend the Brander–Taylor model of population and resource development in an isolated society by adding a resource subsistence requirement to people's preferences. This improves plausibility; amplifies population overshoot and... | 09 Aug 2016 |
Petty Harbour Cod Fishery | Case |
| Petty Harbor is located in a town on the eastern shore of the Avalon Peninsula. The resource appropriated from Petty Harbour Cod Fishery is cod. The author examines the perception of the marine environment by fishers. He compared the fishers of Petty Harbour who remain close to shore and use traps and hand lines with fishers from St. Johns who travel further offshore and use long lines. He found that in general fishers have a selective perception of their environment and primarily focus on... | 09 Aug 2016 |
