Adaptive and collaborative natural resource management has been proposed as a means to navigate the social-ecological system dynamics of resilient systems. However, our understanding of how diverse stakeholders and local actors contribute to collaborative management processes and outcomes is limited, especially with regard to small-scale resource management. This study investigates the role of local people in Korean village grove restoration projects, focusing on bridging linkages and bridging organizations. From a network perspective, we analyze data collected from key informant interviews, document reviews, and field visits to four village groves, to identify key actors and actor groups and to examine their relationships in each restoration project. Along with the relational patterns of local people, the multiple functions of bridging organizations, including accessing critical resources, resolving conflict, enhancing mutual trust, and building local capacity, vary between the four villages. The findings provide insights into the potential of local civil society, through the bridging roles of village-based citizen organizations, to contribute to the emergence of collaborative and adaptive management networks and improved management outcomes.

自适应和协作的自然资源管理已被提议作为一种导航弹性系统的社会生态系统动态的方法。但是，我们对不同的利益相关者和本地参与者如何对协作管理过程和成果做出贡献的理解是有限的，尤其是在小规模资源管理方面。这项研究调查了当地人在韩国村林恢复项目中的作用，重点是建立桥梁联系和建立桥梁组织。从网络角度出发，我们分析从关键知情人访谈，文档审查以及对四个村庄的实地访问中收集的数据，以识别关键角色和角色组，并检查每个修复项目中的关系。连同当地人的关系模式，在四个村庄之间，桥接组织的多种功能（包括获取关键资源，解决冲突，增强互信以及建立地方能力）各不相同。这些发现通过以乡村为基础的公民组织的桥梁作用，为当地民间社会的潜力提供了见识，以促进协作和适应性管理网络的出现并改善管理成果。
