This research study worked towards a process of common management of the waterway system, where vast areas of shallow water fishing ground are covered by net enclosure, resulting in the narrowing of waterways. The paper describes conditions and histories of the waterway usage in the lagoon community of 220,000, which includes two kinds of fishery dwellers’ activity: 100,000 sampan dwellers and 116,786 dwellers on land.1 digital fileapplication/pdfenRURAL ECONOMYWATER MANAGEMENTAQUACULTUREFISHERIESCOMMUNITY-BASED NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENTRIVERSSHARED WATER RESOURCESRESOURCE CONFLICTSCOMMON POOL RESOURCESVIETNAMFAR EAST ASIAWorking Paper
