Abstract

The exchange of information among communal forest organizations is potentially beneficial for the creation and transfer of knowledge, but the establishment and maintenance of links between distant communities can be challenging. Network facilitators can help to establish and strengthen ties or collect and relay information among organizations. For this purpose, communal forest organizations in Thailand organized provincial network committees in collaboration with the Royal Forest Department (RFD). This policy represents a unique example of inter-organizational network administration in the context of natural resource management. The objective of this study was to determine how these network committees influenced information sharing among communal forest organizations.
