| Abstract: | Collaborative management of protected areas-which involves state agencies, local communities and other stakeholders-has been identified as a promising approach of organising nature conservation. However, as a complex governance structure, co-management can be expected to involve considerable transaction costs for the participating stakeholders. Empirical studies concerning the quantification of these costs are still scarce. Against this background, this paper empirically analyses the relative importance and the determinants of the landowners' transaction costs arising from collaborative wildlife management, taking two wildlife sanctuaries in Kenya as examples. |
