Research Abstract

This research investigates the role of social capital in the management of rural common-pool resources using the community-level data of rural communities collected in Japan and China. Our main findings are as follows. (i) Social capital and social heterogeneity in rural communities play significant roles in the management of rural common-pool resources in Japan. (ii) Social heterogeneity in rural communities in China has a determinant impact on the likelihood or success of resource management through benefit distribution channels by water managers. These results indicate that social heterogeneity in rural communities is one factor common to Japan and China in rural common pool resource management.
