TOO MANY USERS: THE TRAGEDY OF THE COMMONS IN RURAL ROADSIDES
The tragedy of the commons is focused on the notion that the uncoordinated use of public lands, which are "free" and readily available, will result in these lands becoming degraded and of no use to anyone. Rural roadsides, being "free" public lands, readily available and lacking comprehensive management, are prime targets for the development of the tragedy of the commons. To avert this tragedy, local councils and road authorities who have jurisdiction over rural road reserves need to take responsibility for non-transportational activities, as well as continue to be concerned with transportational activities. In taking responsibility for non-transportational activities, these authorities will need to implement new management practices. For the covering entry of the conference, see IRRD abstract no. 843352.
