From a governmental perspective, where the state is the owner of forests, regulatory frameworks for forest management are typically asymmetric in relation to the dynamics of the local community. This research identifies, by using study cases, the relationship form of the human being with the forest, in order to establish the favorable aspects and the barriers that face the materialization of the self-management as the base of effective governance in the management of the natural tropical forests. The review of 60 case studies was addressed, of which only 26 present a conceptual systematization with specific features of the principles proposed by Ostrom for “resources of common use” (RCU). The analysis concludes that the most recurrent principle in the studies is the "coherence between rules of appropriation and provision", while the least considered is the "monitoring of resources", which shows that communities always establish rules; however, the importance of monitoring is not clear for them.
