With all these, we have found that Ostrom's eight design principles are basic, well configured, and unique, and when we moderate principle seven, the eight design principles together can account for the success of Japan's long-enduring irrigation institutions that the irrigators formulate to self-govern their CPRs.
These design principles refer to irrigation case studies in developing countries mainly and this has aroused our curiosity to examine them in Japan, which has a highly developed economy and where irrigators self-govern their irrigation CPRs (and where the irrigation institutions have been long-lasting and stable).
Our result extends Ostrom's work and shows that these principles are relevant but insufficient in evaluating local irrigation institutions in the Chinese context, where use of collective action and social capital to pursue one's interests are so prevalent.
It concludes that use of collective action and social capital within particular socio-cultural contexts accounts for not only water users' behaviour but also the development and mixed performances of local irrigation institutions, both positive and negative including collective corruption and overexploitation which are better planned and more difficult to detect.
This paper evaluates two key patterns of irrigation institutions under integrated water resources management reform – private contracting and collective management using Ostrom's (1990) design principles for robust common pool resources (CPRs) institutions and sees how and to what extent they are applicable in an authoritarian society.
