The present and future of the Japan's coastal fisheries systems : An analysis based on the IAD framework

日本的沿海渔业制度被认为是社区自治的代表。本研究的目的是考察日本沿海渔业的管理和政府参与的系统，采用埃莉诺·奥斯特罗姆提出的制度分析与发展（IAD）框架的方法。奥斯特罗姆的研究项目为当地公共场所的成功提供了八条设计原则。通过借鉴日本沿海渔业的经验，包括避免渔业冲突和过度捕捞的协调系统，本研究表明，当一个国家采取亲自治的方式时，该系统变得更具可持续性，八项设计原则的适用性也会提高。基于本研究的结果，需要对渔民进入沿海社区的主题以及近海或深海渔业管理的案例进行进一步的研究。

The Japan's coastal fisheries system is known to be a representative type of the community-based self-governing. The purpose of this study is to examine the management of the Japan's coastal fisheries and the government involvement for the system, using the method of the Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) Framework developed by Elinor Ostrom.Ostrom's research program has generated eight design principles for the success of local commons. By drawing on the experience of Japan's coastal fisheries including the coordination system for avoiding the fisheries conflict and overfishing, this study demonstrated that the system become more sustainable and the applicability of the eight design principles rises when a state adopts a pro-self-governance approach. Based on the results of this study, further research is needed for the subject of entry of fishers into a coastal community, and for the case of the offshore or deep sea fisheries management.
