Understanding the different perceptions of the local community regarding the use and management of common pool resources, such as exclosures, could better support targeted interventions by government and development partners. Here, we report on a study conducted in the Gomit watershed, northwestern Ethiopia, using a survey and key informant interviews, to examine community perceptions on (a) the biophysical condition (i.e., challenge of land degradation and restoration), (b) the action situations (user's access to and control over resources and decision‐making processes involved in taking actions in managing the exclosure), (c) actors' interactions (formal and informal institutions involved in the management of exclosures), and (d) perceived outcomes (benefits and tradeoffs of managing exclosures). Many people in the Gomit watershed recognize land degradation as a serious problem and believe that exclosures support restoration of degraded landscapes and improve ecosystem services. Informal institutions play a key role in managing exclosures by improving benefit sharing and mobilizing the local community for collective action. However, some community members have concerns about recent expansion of exclosures because of (a) limited short‐term derived benefits, (b) reductions in fuelwood availability, (c) increased degradation of remaining communal grazing lands, and (d) poor participation of marginalized groups in decision making. Addressing such concerns through the promotion of short‐term benefits of exclosures and increasing community participation in decision‐making and benefit sharing is crucial. The study provides evidence to support government and development partners on the establishment and management of exclosures through identifying the benefits and drawbacks as perceived by different sectors of the community.

在埃塞俄比亚西北部将排泄物作为共同的池水来管理时对社区的看法

了解当地社区对公共资源池的使用和管理(例如排泄物)的不同看法,可以更好地支持政府和发展伙伴的针对性干预。在这里,我们报告了一项在埃塞俄比亚西北部Gomit流域进行的研究,该研究使用调查和主要知情人访谈来检查社区对(a)生物物理条件(即土地退化和恢复的挑战),(b)行动情况(用户访问和控制参与管理排他信息的行动所涉及的资源和决策过程),(c)参与者之间的互动(参与排他信息管理的正式和非正式机构)和(d)感知结果(管理权益的好处和权衡)。戈米特(Gomit)流域的许多人认识到土地退化是一个严重的问题,并认为排泄物有助于恢复退化的景观并改善生态系统服务。非正式机构通过改善利益共享和动员当地社区采取集体行动,在管理排污权方面发挥关键作用。但是,由于(a)短期获得的利益有限,(b)薪材供应减少,(c)剩余的公共放牧地退化加剧以及(d)社区参与不足,一些社区成员对最近的禁猎区扩张感到担忧。边缘群体的决策。至关重要的是,通过促进个人财产的短期利益以及增加社区对决策和利益共享的参与来解决此类问题。
