Nowadays we often face with the fact in our environment that certain public institutions and services do not really fulfill their tasks intended. Complaints regarding the low quality of public services are to be read in the daily press; we all experience the devastation of our environment. There are several scientific explanations to these phenomena. In this study the author aims to provide a quite simple explanation to these phenomena based on the rational choice theory and by using the terms of the game theory. First, he examines the key terms of this topic, then itemizes the problems of public property, and finally, by using the terms of the game theory, draws the following conclusion: assuming the members of a community follow their own interests, no public property shall be established, or existing public property shall fall into disrepair.

More reliable inference can be made with the combination of aggregate and individual level data, i.e. survey data. Recent developments within the last ten years in sophisticated statistical methods bring the solution of ecological inference close to data analysts.
