This dataset supports the study "Peri-urban Lake Ecosystem Governance: A systematic inquiry of actor-resource relationships", which investigates actor-resource interactions in peri-urban lake ecosystems in Ahmedabad, India. Using mixed methods—socio-ecological surveys, geospatial analysis, and actor interviews—the study analyzes the entangled dynamics of values, perceptions, activities, and practices shaping lake ecosystem governance. The dataset includes geospatial files (lakes, boundaries, hydrobasins), socio-ecological survey data, coded interviews, and network analysis outputs, facilitating reproducibility and further inquiry into peri-urban environmental governance.
