- Abstract
The article suggests the use of a consistent framework for comparing collaborative methods for managing natural resources. Managing natural resources involves understanding and manipulating complex systems containing both human and natural components. The article develops such a framework based on five criteria: participation, institutional analysis, simplification of the natural resource, spatial scale, and stages in the process of natural resource management. The framework is applied to six of the more commonly cited methods: soft systems analysis, adaptive management, ecosystem management, agroecosystem analysis, rapid rural appraisal and participatory rural appraisal.
