| Summary | The purpose of this survey is to investigate, with respect to the formation and stable operation of water supply associations in African villages, the influence of the target region's social systems (behavior of members of society, collective representations that restrict thought, behavior patterns, codes of conduct), economic structures, and natural environment on rational decision-making and user network formation related to the collective action of individual users (logic of collective action), and to shed light on the issue of the resulting influence on the supply of collective goods through the functions of water supply associations, that is, through aspects such as benefit distribution, application of punishments, and dispute resolution (institutional performance). Further, from the point of view that water supply facilities are assets utilized by residents of a broad area, the possibility that the collaboration of government, local residents, and private companies in the operation of water supply associations can lead to the formation of generally mutually beneficial relationships or a coordinated regional community (formation of public domain) in the relevant area is also investigated. |
