Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study examines the impact of farmland consolidation projects (FCPs), which are participatory public projects that physically merge several small plots and reshape them into one large plot, on community-level social capital and the management method of common-pool resources such as irrigation facilities and farm roads.The results indicate that the FCP implementation rate and the probability of selecting a particular method of irrigation management have an inverted U-shaped relationship. It is also likely that FCPs have a positive impact on agriculture-related bonding social capital and a negative impact on non-agriculture-related bridging social capital.
