Abstract
SUMMARY
The Indonesian multilevel governmental program (PITAP) is a participatory pond irrigation management policy established by the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP). In PITAP, traditional aquaculture farmers are incentivized by government funding to create community-based co-management groups (POKLINA) to maintain self-governance of their irrigation canals. The logic of PITAP is to encourage POKLINA farmers to rehabilitate their irrigation canals through subsidized labor payments that are coupled with strengthening the strong cultural norm of mutual assistance (i.e., collective action) within Indonesian society called Gotong-Royong.
We identified the diverse social and ecological conditions that hindered or enabled collective action in four aquaculture villages through a critical analysis of the program's economic incentives, and by using the lens of collective action theory and crowding effects.
We offer our policy recommendations to KKP, the Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture (DKP) in the West and East Lombok districts, West Nusa Tenggara Province Regional Research and Innovation Agency (BRIDA NTB), and aquaculture farmers in Lembar, Sekotong, Jerowaru, and Sambelia villages.
