Abstract

Cherdsak Virapat Executive Director, International Ocean Institute Headquarters, Malta COMMUNITY-BASED MANAGEMENT APPROACHES Professor Elisabeth Mann Borgese elaborated in "The Oceanic Circle"1 the ideas of community management and co-management. She named her vision "community-based governance," implying that the basic unit of the model had to be small coastal communities linked to the decision-making processes at the national, regional, and global levels through the "oceanic circle," a dynamic and democratic "parliamentarism" in ocean governance. The co-management definition was given by Jentoft2 as a collaborative and participatory process of regulatory decision making between representatives of user groups, government agencies, research institutions, and other stakeholders. Co-management involves partnerships and power-sharing, and requires that management functions be delegated to user organizations that make autonomous decisions. Pomeroy and Rivera-Guieb stated that community-based management is a central element of co-management, and they referred to Sajise who stated that community-based resource management is a process by which the people themselves are given the opportunity and/or responsibility to manage their own resources, define their needs, goals and aspirations, and to make decisions affecting their well-being. Community-based resource management is basically seen as community empowerment for resource productivity, sustainability and equity.3 1. E.M. Borgese, "The Oceanic Circle," in
