The Institutional Analysis and Development Framework views institutions as human-made system within which individual choices take place and which configure consequences of the respective choices.<ref name=indiana/><ref>{{cite web|author1=Charlotte Hess|author2=Elinor Ostrom|title=Ideas, Artifacts, and Facilities: Information as a Common-Pool Resource|url=http://scholarship.law.duke.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1276&context=lcp|publisher=Duke University School of Law|accessdate=30 January 2015|page=22}}</ref>{{verification failed|date=February 2015}} According to Ostrom, IAD is a "multi-level conceptual map" with which one could zoom in and out of particular hierarchical parts of the regularised interactions in an established social system. It assumes a context to the particular interaction in which the general network of regular actors would be analysed, the particular rules-in-use, and the particular common outcome that they hope to achieve. In the traditional analysis of [[Common-pool_resource|common pool arrangements]], the common outcome would be a particular resource which the actors draw on.<ref name="Understanding Institutional Diversity">{{cite book|author=Elinor Ostrom|title=Understanding Institutional Diversity|date=2009|publisher=Princeton University Press|___location=Princeton|isbn=9781400831739|url=http://press.princeton.edu/chapters/s8085.pdf|accessdate=30 January 2015}}</ref> IAD defines institutions as, "shared concepts used by humans in repetitive situations organized by rules, norms, and strategies".<ref>{{cite web|author1=Xavier Basurto|author2=Gordon Kingsley|author3=Kelly McQueen|author4=Mshadoni Smith|author5=Christopher M.

The IAD framework helps to perceive complex social phenomenon by dividing them into smaller pieces of practically understandable function.<ref name=indiana/> The important aspect of IAD framework is that outcome is influenced by the institutional arrangements created by local actors in a given context.<ref>{{cite journal|author1=Krister Andersson|title=Understanding decentralized forest governance: an application of the institutional analysis and development framework|journal=Sustainability: Science, Practice, & Policy|url=http://sspp.proquest.com/archives/vol2iss1/0507-010.andersson.html|accessdate=2 February 2015}}</ref>
