“…According to Ostrom (1990Ostrom ( , 2000, one of the principles of implementing commons governance concerns monitoring and graduated sanctions if someone violates rules. However, when the person who represents an important appropriator decides to stop self-organization, he or she is throwing away any previous gains.…”

The Dialogue: an Essential Component to Consider “Organization as a Community of Persons”

Even if the concept of Bcommunity of persons^is more and more present, only a few studies with practical cases actually use it. This paper is based on the pragmatic constructivism epistemological paradigm and uses an autopraxeography method from a previous action research study. The case presented concerns part of a large business. At the beginning of our study, this organization experienced many conflicts. The intervention we implemented developed dialogues and built a community of persons. At the end of this story, a new HR manager arrived and decided to stop what was previously implemented (to increase productivity), putting an end to the dialogues and all of the collaboration that went along with them. This way of doing leads to fake productivity because it generates a lot of hidden costs. Thus, this case shows that a dialogue is necessary to build a community of persons, and vice versa. Otherwise, there are just associations of individuals.

“…The method proposed here aimed to fill a gap noticed in literature in the field of Economics that already indicates relevant variables related to the selforganization of communities who share a renewable natural resource (cf. Ostrom, 2002Ostrom, , 2009Ostrom, et al, 1994), which is not possible when the individuals cannot freely communicate with each other. It also contributes to the community of behavior analysts by proposing an important methodological tool for studying the long-term effects of behavioral interventions focused on natural resource preservation and the establishment of pro-environmental behavior by society (for a review see Lehman &Geller, 2004 andLuke &Alavosius, 2012).…”

This study proposes the use of an experimental analogue of natural resource exploitation to evaluate the effects of the real-time displaying of the amount of available resources and the provision of written feedback messages on the resource extraction behavior of participants sharing a common-pool whereby participants are physically and verbally isolated from each other. The experiment involved the application of a three-member common-pool resources (CPR) game. The members of the groups sharing the CPR were changed periodically and were allowed to talk briefly to each other so that an experienced participant could give instructions to a newcomer. In this way, it was also possible to evaluate how the accuracy of instructions regarding resource preservation and sustainability affects group member resource extraction patterns and CPR maintenance in the long run. Twenty-two college students took part and were distributed into three groups: Control, Display, and Feedback. The amount of resources extracted individually and by the groups in every round of the game was analyzed, as were the verbal responses of the experienced participants when giving instructions to newcomers. Results showed that the manipulated variables were effective for the short-term decrease in the amount of resources extracted by the members of the Display and Feedback groups. The accuracy of the instructions was also important for the sustained maintenance of the pattern of consumption established by the manipulated variables, leading to the recovery and the preservation of the resources in a greater number of the game's rounds.

“…Internationally this led to a search for the commons successfully managed by their users. Data collected from the field presented both successful and unsuccessful user-managed CPRs (Ostrom 2000). By studying both types of CPR institutions, Ostrom developed, in her book Governing the Commons (1990), 'a series of design principles that characterize the configuration of rules that are used' (Ostrom 2000, 40).…”

The Daudkandi model of community floodplain aquaculture in Bangladesh: a case for Ostrom’s design principles

Floodplain water-bodies are one of the major common-pool resources (CPRs) of Bangladesh and constitute more than fifty percent of inland open water bodies. Throughout the British colonial period, Pakistani rule and the first one and half decades of independent Bangladesh, a majority of inland water-bodies remained under direct government management, though the floodplains, by getting heavily inundated during the monsoon, turn into an open access resource. In the mid-1980s, co-management was introduced on a small scale with the help of NGOs as providers of management styles and credit to communities of fishers or villagers. NGOs also got involved in floodplain water-bodies and came up with different models of user-managed fishery bodies. This paper examines a specific management system of community-governed floodplain aquaculture (FPA) known as the Daudkandi model, developed by a local NGO in the Daudkandi sub-district of the Comilla district. Applying the design principles developed by Ostrom (1990) characterizing long surviving successful user-managed commonpool resource institutions, this paper explores the rules devised by partners in the management of a FPA under the Daudkandi model. Though the FPA management model is relatively new (i.e. it has been adopted in 1996) it has been found to follow the design principles in devising its management rules. However, because of its unique features in terms of seasonality, the NGO-community partnership, the exclusion of past users, and numerous replications, the future of the model as a CPR governance system holds many challenges and deserves a continuous research focus.Keywords: Bangladesh, common-pool resource, floodplain aquaculture, Ostrom's design principles The Daudkandi model of community floodplain aquaculture in Bangladesh 855Acknowledgement: I would like to express my deepest gratitude towards the staff of the NGO, SHISUK and Pankowri Fisheries Ltd. for their generous support during collection of the data.
