Abstract
This paper analyzes the conservation movement for horse chestnut using two main concepts of “network members” and “self-organization” as in the definition of governance by Rhodes for the purpose of examining the practical applicability of the concept of governance. In this research, problem solutions and politics came together at critical times to provide impetus for network members to address the conservation movement. There are financial providers among the network members who move the governance to the next step effectively. Strong leadership is needed for the trial to succeed and all members collaborate in major victories in the trial for continuous activities by members of governance. The existence of network members minimizes the pressure of centralization so as not to ruin subjectivity of the core group is a definite factor that governance has to be maintained in order for effective activity to be achieved.
