- W82967712 abstract "Hardin’s (1968) seminal paper “The tragedy of the commons” has generated somuch attention on common-pool resource (CPR) management and whose findingsare still valid today shows the inadequacy of human nature in dealing with collectiveaction, and the unique nature of “public goods” that few policy makers appreciate.In Malaysia, the social phenomenon where many common-areas of strata buildingsare badly managed by developers/ property management companies/ parcel holdersunder the existing institutional arrangements of self-governance, lends credence toHardin’s (1968) allegory.The research explored the contributing factors that make self-governance such achallenge where the maintenance of the common-areas is outside the stategovernment purview. In this endeavour, a mixed methods approach was employedusing institutional analysis development (IAD) framework as the main theoreticalframework, and new institutional economics (NIE) reasoning as rival theories.Three qualitative studies that were conducted on four low-cost housing asrecommended by the Selangor State Housing Board, provided insight into thevarying degrees of success of self-governance: a phenomenological study; anarrative study; and a multi-case study. In the quantitative phase, a survey researchwas conducted on a sample of 633 respondents from a total population of 1,598households. Three statistical procedures were later performed to explore thedeterminants, the inter-group membership differences, and the intra-groupmembership differences that shaped the state of health of the commons.The study lent weight to the notion that a community with higher social capitaltended to produce higher collective action (users’ characteristics). But cultural factorwhich was part of an endogenous institution that shaped human conduct in dailysettings had a role, as relying on court ordering was costly and cumbersome (rulesin-use). In a common area, the challenge had been on how to discourage free-ridinghabits of parcel holders (the nature of material condition). A more transparent styleof governance certainly helped).The endemic failure of the institution of self-governance in any low-cost housing inMalaysia is similar to any CPR management of natural resource in every corner ofthe world. The study concluded that the root cause is failure to appreciate the basichuman nature of “methodological individualism and instrumental rationality”, andthe nature of the commons as “public goods”. Every man is rational only in makinghis private decision for private goods and the dominant strategy in using publicgoods is to free-ride. The study recommended state intervention as parcel holderswere incapable to fend for themselves, though there is likelihood that state-ledgovernance may not deliver the result as envisaged." @default.
