社交网络最近被确定为促进或限制合作安排的关键特征，这些合作安排可以加强复杂社会生态系统中的资源治理和适应性。然而，在一个种族多样的公共资源系统中，种族对社会网络结构的影响几乎是未知的。我们的特点是整个社会网络的夏威夷的延绳钓渔业，一个种族多样的竞争力远洋渔业，并调查网络的同质性，网络结构和跨尺度的联系。结果表明，种族显着影响社会网络结构，是负责的同质性效应，这可能会造成跨群体的利益相关者合作的挑战。我们的分析还表明，种族影响了不同网络结构的形成，并可能影响与外部行业领导者，政府或管理官员以及科学界成员的联系水平。本研究提供了第一个实证检验的影响，种族多样性的资源用户的社交网络的共同池资源文献，具有重要意义的协同资源管理。
Social networks have recently been identified as key features in facilitating or constraining collaborative arrangements that can enhance resource governance and adaptability in complex social-ecological systems. Nonetheless, the effect of ethnicity on social network structure in an ethnically diverse common-pool resource system is virtually unknown. We characterize the entire social network of Hawaii's longline fishery, an ethnically diverse competitive pelagic fishery, and investigate network homophily, network structure, and cross-scale linkages. Results show that ethnicity significantly influences social network structure and is responsible for a homophily effect, which can create challenges for stakeholder collaboration across groups. Our analysis also suggests that ethnicity influences the formation of diverse network structures, and can affect the level of linkages to outside industry leaders, government or management officials, and members of the scientific community. This study provides the first empirical examination of the impact of ethnic diversity on resource user's social networks in the common-pool resource literature, having important implications for collaborative resource management.
