| Unit | |
| Role | CommonsUser |
| Importance | Sanctioning deters participants from excessive violations of rules. This should contribute to the effectiveness and robustness of the governance systems (Cox et al. 2010). When sanctions are enforced, resource (over-)users or pollution emitters are obliged to internalize some of the negative externalities they produce on other actors. This variable is related to one of the design principles. |
| Definition | Sanctions can include a diversity of forms of social shunning, fines, extra regulations or the complete prohibition of resource use or pollution emissions (Ostrom 1990). |

| Wakatobi National Park | Governance | Wakatobi Bajau fishers | No sanctions | No self sanctioning - Fishing grounds are envisaged by the Bajau as open to all individuals, regardless of their origin or nationality, hence the concept of marine resource ownership, together with the implicit enforcement of regulations, is in reality far removed from Bajau cultural norms (Clifton 2013). Officially there are graduated sanctions applied by management, but in reality these are rarely applied. The park rangers can apprehend but not prosecute - only the police can do this, and police have a bad reputation so local violators are unlikely to be handed over to the police (Julian Clifton pers comm). |
