Oyster communities, Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana, USA | Case |
| The Louisiana oyster fishing communities are located on the Gulf of Mexico with approximately 400 kilometers of coastline in a straight line from the border of Texas on the west to the border of Mississippi on the east. The case study involves historic information on the development of community based norms and institutions and a legally closed tenure structured around oyster leaseholds in Louisiana, compared to other open-access community-based oyster fisheries on the U.S. Gulf Coast. The case... | 09 Aug 2016 |
Oyster communities, Gulf of Mexico, Alabama, USA | Case |
| The Alabama oyster fishing communities are located on the Gulf of Mexico with approximately 100 kilometers of coastline. The case study states that this is an open-access fishery but includes a limited amount of historic data on the development of community based norms and institutions for managing the fishery over time and compares them to those used in the Louisiana oyster fishing community (see related cases below). No information is provided on the number of users involved in the fishery at... | 09 Aug 2016 |
OpenABM: Agent-based model database | Case |

Nohwa-do and Bogil-do, Communal Water Resources Management, South Korea | Case |
| Nohwa-do and Bogil-do are South Korea's southernmost islands, located off the coast of the province of Jeollanam-do. They are connected by a bridge and share a reservoir in Bogil-do. The inhabitants of the two islands have to share water since Nohwa-do lacked a reservoir.The primary causes of the commons dillemma in Nohwa-do and Bogil do are a lack of appropriate and effective public participation and a hierarchical decision-making process between local government and central government... | 09 Dec 2022 |
Nayband irrigation system | Case |
| The Nayband Irrigation system is located in The province of Khorasan in north eastern Iran. The original case was reported in 1971 and 1972, and catalogues an action situation involving approximately 80 agricultural related families. The resource appropriated related to the social dilemma is water for irrigation, which is delivered by canals.This case study is part of the original Common-Pool Resource (CPR) database. A summary of the original CPR coding conducted in the 1980s by Edella Schlager... | 09 Aug 2016 |
Nam Tan Irrigation Project | Case |
| The Muong Phieng Valley is located in the Nam Tam watershed in the Sainyabuli Province of western Laos. The main agricultural product is rice. The area suffered major infrastructural changes in two periods. First, during the Nam Tam Irrigation project administered by USAID and the Lao government in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Second, during the Nam Tam Rehabilitation project in the 1990s, supervised by UNDP, UNCF and the Lao government.This case was part of the original CPR database... | 09 Aug 2016 |
Nae Pae and Muang Mai Irrigation Systems | Case |
| Fai Muang Mai is one of three irrigation systems along the Mae Klang River in the Chiang Mai Province, Thailand. Muang Mai is the most upstream of the Mae Klang River irrigation systems and provides irrigation to 800 hectares of riceland and orchards through a weir and canal network. The system is managed and maintained by an irrigation organization known as Mu Muang Mai, composed of farmers within the command area. The original case includes a comparative analysis of two traditional irrigation... | 09 Aug 2016 |
Mount Desert Island Lobster Fishery | Case |
| The lobster grounds of Mount Desert Island are located within Hancock County, Maine, some 250 miles northeast of Boston and 150 miles southwest of the U.S. - Canada border. The original case spans from 1969 to1974 and catalogues an action situation involving approximately 75 lobster fishermen; lobster is the stationary resource unit.This case study is part of the original Common-Pool Resource (CPR) database. A summary of the original CPR coding conducted in the 1980s by Edella Schlager and Shui... | 09 Aug 2016 |
Modeling Human Ecodynamics and Biocultural Interactions in the Late Pleistocene of Western Eurasia | Model |
| Exploring the dynamic feedbacks between biological and cultural evolutionary systems is critical to understanding the origins of modern human behavior. The authors present a population dynamics model using ordinary differential equations and agent based modeling to delineate the consequences of differing mobility strategies expressed as reproduction potential at the population level for Late Pleistocene hominins in Western Eurasia (i.e., modern Homo sapiens and Neanderthals). The model... | 29 Nov 2017 |
Messolonghi-Etolico Lagoon Fishery | Case |
| The Messolonghi-Etolico lagoon is in the northern part of Patraikos Gulf, on the west coast of central Greece. The original case, which was published in 1984, catalogues an action situation with approximately 200 independent fishermen and 170 fishermen in 11 co-ops. The resource units are mullets, sea-bream, eel, and sea-bass. The co-ops feel the independents are free-riders on co-op efforts to trap fish; independents resent the co-ops' privileges, power, and subterfuges to restrict membership... | 09 Aug 2016 |
Mathematics of Marital Conflict | Model |
| This discrete time model represents a coupled system as seen through talk turns in a conversation between a wife and husband where each exerts influence dynamically on the other. Cook et al. (1995) develop this entirely social model based on empirical observations of marital conflict in the Gottman Love Lab, a University of Washington social laboratory studying marital conflict and resolution. The authors developed this model, then confirmed the model through turn-wise application of the... | 30 Nov 2017 |
Mathematical Models in Social Ecological Systems | Case |
| This case is an umbrella to capture a range of models of ecological, social, social-ecological, and other natural systems (e.g. climate). In addition, there are several models whose main purpose is to demonstrate model visualization features related to a number of famous mathematical models including the Lorenz Model, the discrete logistic, and predator prey models. The Lorenz Model, probably the most famous of all simple models, is the first ever model of a chaotic dynamical system.... | 09 Aug 2016 |
Lorenz Model | Model |
| This simple model was developed by Edward Lorenz in 1963 to study fluid mechanics (based on Navier-Stokes equations). It is the first ever model of a chaotic dynamical system. Chaos arises when a deterministic, nonlinear dynamical system exhibits long-term unpredictability in behavior due to sensitivity to initial conditions.The model is a three-dimentional system of differential equations. Specifically, the model describes the convection motion of a fluid in a small idealized "Rayleigh-... | 09 Aug 2016 |
Large N Comparative Studies of Ostrom's Design Principles | Case |
| There have been a number of studies that focus on testing whether and in what contexts Ostrom's institutional design principles may lead to successful governance of common-pool resources. The study of Cox et al. (see sources) coded the presence or absence of each of 8 design principles and success in 62 cases and found that the likelihood of success and the presence of individual design principles is positively correlated. However, because institutions are systems, it is... | 13 Jul 2017 |
Lakes Entrance Scallop Fishery | Case |
| The Lakes Entrance scallop fishery is located in Bass Strait outside the city of Lakes Entrance in eastern Victoria, Australia and as far south as Tasmania in depths of 10-30 fathoms . The original case, which was published in 1982, catalogs the management of both Lakes Entrance and nearby Port Phillip Bay fisheries following a decline in scallop stocks in the early 1970s. The shared resources relevant to the commons dilemma faced by the community include scallop stocks and their productivity (... | 09 Aug 2016 |
