Abstract: As pastoral social-ecological system faces the problem of increasing fragmentation,the self-governance of public pasture has garnered scholarly attention. However,under the current grassland contracting system of China,the feasibility and implementation mechanisms of self-governance system remains under explored. This study tracked a public pasture area in Inner Mongolia for three consecutive years,utilizing the SES framework to analyze the complex system. A related game model was developed to examine the interaction mechanisms among herders under the self-governance system. The results indicated that the sustainable utilization of grassland resources was crucial for reducing herders' long-term production costs. The pastoral community has established a self-governance system for public pasture to conserve long-term production costs. During the implementation of the system,dynamic rules for grass-livestock balance were formulated based on the condition of grass growth and livestock body condition. Operable penalty mechanisms and flexible intervention by local governments have promoted the effective operation of the self-governance system. Moreover,the interplay between grazing strategies among herders and social interaction games has led to the self-imposition of the governance system at a lower cost. The effective implementation of this system contributes to the fairness of grassland resource utilization,fosters trust among herders and local governments,and enhances mutual benefit and production efficiency. Therefore,exploring a diversified grassland resource management system that integrates self-governance and contracting is warranted.
