CASE STUDIES FROM CHITWAN, NEPAL. Although considerable agreement exists among scholars about the attributes of a resource and about resource users that are conducive to self-organization, there are also puzzling issues related to the effects of size and heterogeneity of the user group. Prior empirical studies indicate that user-group differences do not have a uniform effect on the likelihood of sustaining collective action. The effects can be either positive, negative, or unrelated to self-organization efforts. Since many of the results are derived from individual case studies, or only a small number of cases, I adopt a more rigorous strategy to address the effect of these variables on self-governance and outcomes. I draw on a relatively large number of cases from two different types of common-pool resources in Nepal – irrigation and forests – to explore associations between group heterogeneity (measured in diverse ways) and collective action to address whether local resource management efforts may be affected. Through the use of in-depth case studies, I further examine the institutions governing both types of resource systems in a setting where members from the same community use both resources. Not only does this provide insights into how resource users organize around two different types of resource systems, but also allows us to assess and compare performance of these self-governed common- pool resource institutions. Using data generated by the Nepal Irrigation Institutions and Systems (NIIS) and International Forestry Resources and Institutions (IFRI) research vi programs, and my own fieldwork in the Chitwan District of Nepal, I find that some heterogeneity variables (such as, ethnic composition) are less likely than others to be an impediment to self-organization; the same heterogeneity variable (wealth disparity) may have opposite effects on different resource types; resource conditions are more likely to be affected by ability or inability of resource users to enforce rules rather than by their group differences; and that self-organized groups are able to mediate the perceived costs and benefits of organizing through institutional design.

Conservation and the linpact of Relocation on the Tharus of Chitwan, Nepal Joanne McLean Charles Sturt University (Australia) Since the establishment of the first national park in the United States in the nineteenth century, indig­ enous peoples have been forced to move from regions designated as parks. Some of these people have been relocated to other areas by the government, more often they have been told to leave the area and are given no alternatives (Clay, 1985:2). Introduction (Guneratne 1994; Skar 1999). The Thant are often de­ scribed as one people. However, many subgroups exist: The relocation of indigenous people from national Kochjla Tharu in the eastern Tarai, Chitwaniya and Desauri parks has become standard practice in developing coun­ in the central Tarai, and Kathariya, Dangaura and Rana tries with little regard for the impacts it imposes on a Tharu in the western Tarai (Meyer & Deuel, 1999).

Matthews Research Associate Population Research Institute The Pennsylvania State University 601 Oswald Tower University Park, PA 18602-6211 e-mail: [email protected] and Netra Chhetri Graduate Student Department of Geography The Pennsylvania State University 302 Walker Building University Park, PA 16802 e-mail: [email protected] DRAFT COPY September 1997 Acknowledgment: This research was supported by two grants from the National Institute of Child Health and Development (Grant #R01-HD31982 and Grant #RO1-HD33551). We wish to thank William Axinn (PI on these grants), Dirgha Ghimire and the staff at the Population and Ecology Research Laboratory (PERL), IAAS, Nepal who helped collect the flora and common land data. Population growth and deforestation are serious problems in Chitwan and throughout Nepal. In this paper we explore the effect of social and demographic driving forces on flora diversity in Nepal. Specifically, we focus our attention on the flora diversity in three forested areas surrounding a recently deforested, settled and cultivated rural area - the Chitwan District. We have collected detailed counts of trees, shrubs, and grasses along the edge and in the interior of each forested area, and for common land throughout the settled area. Our sampling frame (described in the paper) allows us to construct detailed ordination and classification measures of forest floral diversity. Using techniques from quantitative ecology we can quantify species diversity (relative density, frequency and abundancy), and specifically measure the 'evenness' and 'richness' of the flora in the forested areas and common land.

  • A Study Report of Narayani River Course, Central Nepal, 2007
    CHAPTER - I A STUDY REPORT OF NARAYANI RIVER COURSE, CENTRAL NEPAL, 2007 1.1. Background Flood is the natural phenomena that losses more property and human life in Nepal. The precipitation is highly concentrated in the monsoon season in Nepal. About 75 percent precipitation occurs in monsoon (June-September). 1 The flood phenomenon is common in the rainy season. Due to the high concentration of monsoon, high relief, steep mountain topography and deep and narrow river valleys with frequent mass wasting phenomena renders the country more hazardous and losses more property and human life annually. Every year about Rs. 748.95 million has been lost due to water Indus disaster in Nepal.2 The overall development of the country has been severely affected by repeated flooding. In the context of recent global warming phenomena, a consequent increase in the intensity of extreme precipitation events and the dynamic of glacial lakes in high mountain areas, the probability and potentially damaging of flood is likely to increase. In the past or before eradication of malaria in Terai, Dun and low land were prone of malaria. So the people lived in the low land in winter and shifted to the high land during the summer. This seasonal migration caused the flood hazard seemed not so destructive. After the eradication of malaria people, started to live in the Terai permanently. So the infrastructure in the recent past has increased the exposure of these areas to flood hazards. This happened after 1956. After the malaria eradication the investment to infrastructure development from the government side has been tremendously increased.

  • A Yellow-Throated Marten Martes Flavigula Carrying a Small Indian Civet Viverricula Indica
    A Yellow-throated Marten Martes flavigula carrying a Small Indian Civet Viverricula indica Babu Ram LAMICHHANE1*, Chiranjibi Prasad POKHERAL1, Ambika Prasad KHATIWADA1, Rama MISHRA2 and Naresh SUBEDI1 Abstract Yellow-throated Marten Martes flavigula has a wide geographic distribution, but little is known about its ecology and behaviour. A camera-trap survey in and around Chitwan National Park, Nepal, photographed a solitary Marten carrying a Small Indian Civet Viverricula indica. The animal was in a grassland patch amid Sal Shorea robusta forest. It is unclear whether the Marten killed the Civet. Recent camera-trap surveys suggest that Yellow-throated Marten is widespread in Chitwan NP with records from altitudes of 190–675 m; many records are from Sal forest.

  • Cases of Farmer Managed Irrigation Systems from East Chitwan'
    Dynamics in Water Rights and Arbitration on Water Right Conflicts: Cases of Farmer Managed Irrigation Systems from East Chitwan' A. Shukla, N. R. Joshi, G. Shivakoti, R. Poudel and N. Shrestha' INTRODUCTION This paper examines the dynamism in water rights from the perspective of property creating process and its regulation and use and the mechanisms of arbitration when conflicts arise in the process. In conceptualizing irrigation development as property, the paper draws upon the property framework of Coward (1983). The development and subsequent management of irrigation systems involve investment of resources of some form, whether capital, labor, material or know- how. The mobilization and investment of resources may occur in private, community or state management regimes. Those who make the investment develop claims on the water supply that is acquired and the physical structures that are created for acquisition, conveyance, regulation and distribution of available supply of water. Even in the case of the state management, the investment of resources for imgation development has a targeted area and users to serve. Within the system each individual who has invested in the development and management of irrigation system has claim on the portion of available water supply. The collective claim on acquired supply of water is therefore apportioned into individual's claim. In defining the individual's claim the imgators come to a set of agreements that creates a social contract for 173 irrigators to realize their claims and acknowledge the claims of others. These agreements are apparent in the forms of rules, roles and sanctions to define, constrain and enforce individual’s claims (Pradhan 1987).While in some irrigation systems the set ofagreements are well articulated, in others there may be little codification.
