摘要

Abstract Increasing competition for resources in small-scale fisheries (SSFs) can lead to overharvesting and threatens their sustainability. Sustainable management policies require engaging multiple resource users in decision-making processes, capturing diverse interests, and creating a platform for collaborative activities. This paper combines participatory modelling and systems thinking approaches to develop a joint stakeholder understanding of system structure, feedback mechanisms, and system archetypes of a SSF system in the Tam Giang Lagoon, located along the central coast of Vietnam. The model revealed the extent to which the dynamics of this SSF system were governed by nonlinear and cyclic feedback loops between social and ecological components. To manage complexity, the interactions between reinforcing and balancing feedback loops were distilled into four key system archetypes—Limits to growth, Fixes that fail, Success to the successful, and Tragedy of the commons—that provide crucial lenses to identify leverage points for effective management. The findings suggest that the possibilities to avoid the dominance of undesirable archetypes in this highly contested fishery system remain limited for both local resource users and managers because of cultural and socioeconomic constraints. Reducing intensified resource exploitation and expanding livelihood alternatives for communities are key towards more sustainable pathways for this common-pool resource system and other similar ones. This case study demonstrates the usefulness of an analytical approach that integrates participatory modelling with systems thinking with the ultimate goal of improving communication and collaboration among multiple stakeholders in complex socio-ecological situations.
