Figure 1:
The Coupled Infrastructure Systems Framework, including distribution of CPR manual coding questions to CISF themes (adapted with permission from Anderies 2015). Black numbers 1–8 are original to the CISF. Red numbers reflect the number of CPR manual coding questions distributed to CISF component. Green sections indicate nuances of infrastructure types that we omitted in our analysis. The gray box and circle reflect amendments we proposed as a result of our mapping effort.
Table 1:
Distribution of coding questions among the CISF components and the coding forms of the CPR Manual.

The colors represent the ranges of the number of coding questions within each mapping category. Light blue=1–3; Medium blue=4–6; Dark blue=7–12; Light purple=13–20; Dark purple=21–50; Red=over 51 coding questions.
Table 2:
Exemplary coding questions that required expansion in order to better reflect a complex CIS perspective by distinguishing between human-defined boundaries (i.e. institutional infrastructure) and location (i.e. natural boundaries).
| Original variable | Variable description | Modified variable | Modified description |
|---|---|---|---|
| COUNTRY | What is the name used TODAY for the country in which the location is situated? | 2_RAINDIST | What is the name used TODAY for the country in which the natural infrastructure is situated? |
| SOILTYPE | What is/are the dominant soiltype(s) of the location? | 2_SOILTYPE | What is/are the dominant soiltype(s) of the natural infrastructure? |
| BOUNDAR3 | Is the boundary the same or smaller than the location? | 2_BOUNDAR3 | Is the institutional infrastructure the same or smaller than the natural infrastructure? |
| DISTAPPR | Is the boundary of thedistribution resource roughlyequivalent to the boundary ofthe appropriation resource? | 2_DISTAPPR | Is the institutional infrastructure of the distribution resource roughly equivalent to the institutional infrastructure of the appropriation resource? |
Table 3:
Lumping and splitting process of variables BOUNDAR2 and LOCBOUND to better categorize the various aspects within the CISF these variables test for. Doing so facilitates analysis of interactions and key elements in the CISF, including identification of natural and/or institutional infrastructure, how institutional infrastructure is created (e.g. majority voting rules; Link 3 interaction), and how institutional infrastructure may regulate or otherwise mediate appropriation and distribution of resources in Link 1 (Link 5 interaction).
| Original variable | Variable description | Revised split of coding questions |
|---|---|---|
| BOUNDAR2 | Is the boundary the result of natural/constructed attributes and/or institutional arrangements? | 2_BOUNDNIB: Are the boundaries natural, hard human-made, or institutional (i.e. soft human-made)? Assigned to Public Infrastructure element in the CISF |
| LOCBOUND | How have the boundaries of this location been determined? (e.g. is this primarily a natural or constructed “ecosystem” boundary such as a harbor, or is the location defined institutionally as when a village is the location?) | 2_BOUNDDET: By what process have the institutional boundaries been determined? Link 3 interaction (between public infrastructure provider and public infrastructure) in the CISF |
| 2_BOUNDAFA: How do boundaries affect access? Link 5 interaction in the CISF (how does the public infrastructure mediate the link 1 interaction between resource users and the resource?) |
Table 4:
Proposed coding questions on the topic of resource externalities and spillovers to allow for characterization of infrastructure when using the CPR manual for CISF analyses.
| Proposed coding questions | Description |
|---|---|
| 2_RESNAMES | Delineation of all resources to be considered in the analysis |
| 2_RESCONF_M | Characterization of all between resource interactions (spillovers and externalities) to be considered in the analysis |
| 2_RESCONF_PI | Is there public infrastructure created specifically to mitigate/promote externalities/spillovers? |
| 2_RESCONF_L5 | How does 2_RESCONF_PI alter resource? |
