Abstract

Abstract Invasive plant species (IPS) management in national parks is a complex problem often characterized by the involvement of various organizations with different responsibilities, legal mandates, and jurisdictions. These institutional arrangements shape the structure, function, and decision-making behaviors of organizations and influence management effectiveness. Drawing on institutional theory, this study analyzed institutional arrangements and how these influenced IPS management in Vietnam's national parks. Data were collected between May and July 2017 using in-depth interviews with 39 key informants with responsibility for IPS management at different institutional levels (national, provincial, and local national parks). Results demonstrated that IPS management in Vietnam's national parks was characterized by centralized management with overlaps and gaps in vertical institutional relationships that limited the effectiveness of horizontal relationships. These characteristics resulted in a lack of clear guiding regulations and limited resources that restricted decision making and hindered implementation at the local national park level. The study highlights the need for a common set of principles across agencies, governed by an overarching body to promote constructive relationships across the vertical and horizontal institutional dimensions of IPS management.

多层次视角下制度安排对入侵植物物种管理的影响——以越南国家公园为例

摘要国家公园中的入侵植物物种（IPS）管理是一个复杂的问题，其特征往往是具有不同职责、法律授权和管辖权的各种组织的参与。这些制度安排塑造了组织的结构、功能和决策行为，影响了管理的有效性。本研究借鉴制度理论，分析了制度安排及其对越南国家公园IPS管理的影响。2017年5月至7月期间，通过对39名负责不同机构级别（国家、省级和地方国家公园）IPS管理的关键信息员的深入访谈，收集了数据。结果表明，越南国家公园的IPS管理具有集中管理的特点，纵向制度关系存在重叠和差距，限制了横向关系的有效性。这些特点导致缺乏明确的指导性法规和有限的资源，限制了决策，阻碍了地方国家公园一级的实施。该研究强调，各机构需要一套共同的原则，由一个总体机构管理，以促进IPS管理的纵向和横向机构层面的建设性关系。

期刊介绍： Invasive Plant Science and Management (IPSM) is an online peer-reviewed journal focusing on fundamental and applied research on invasive plant biology, ecology, management, and restoration of invaded non-crop areas, and on other aspects relevant to invasive species, including educational activities and policy issues. Topics include the biology and ecology of invasive plants in rangeland, prairie, pasture, wildland, forestry, riparian, wetland, aquatic, recreational, rights-of-ways, and other non-crop (parks, preserves, natural areas) settings; genetics of invasive plants; social, ecological, and economic impacts of invasive plants and their management; design, efficacy, and integration of control tools; land restoration and rehabilitation; effects of management on soil, air, water, and wildlife; education, extension, and outreach methods and resources; technology and product reports; mapping and remote sensing, inventory and monitoring; technology transfer tools; case study reports; and regulatory issues.
