Pertanian organik merupakan jawaban atas revolusi hijau yang digalakkan pada tahun 1960-an yang menyebabkan (a) Berkurangnya kesuburan tanah dan (b) Kerusakan lingkungan akibat pemakaian pupuk dan pestisida kimia yang tidak terkendali. Gagalnya revolusi hijau menyebabkan masyarakat semakin sadar akan pentingnya mengembangkan sistem pertanian yang berwawasan lingkungan dan berkelanjutan. Program “Go Organik 2010” merupakan implementasi dukungan pemerintah terhadap sistem pertanian organik. Sehingga pertanian organik mulai berkembang di Indonesia umumnya dan di Kabupaten Pamekasan, khususnya. Pertanian organik buah naga merupakan pertanian organik yang sedang berkembang di Kabupaten Pamekasan. Sebagai implementasi untuk mewujudkan kelestarian pertanian organik buah naga, maka dibutuhkan analisis tentang kesediaan membayar masyarakat terhadap nilai keberadaan (Existence Value) dan nilai penggunaan alternatif (Option Value) pertanian Organik Buah Naga. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode CVM (Contingent Valuation Method) untuk mengestimasi biaya yang akan dikeluarkan masyarakat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa besarnya estimasi WTP (Willingness To Pay) masyarakat terhadap nilai keberadaan pertanian organik buah naga adalah sebesar Rp. 42.060.403,89 / hektar per tahun. Sedangkan besarnya estimasi WTP (Willingness To Pay) masyarakat terhadap nilai penggunaan alternatif pertanian organik buah naga sebesar Rp. 41.633.017,67 / hektar per tahun.

-The case study examines the economic aspects of cultural heritage conservation and deals the valuation of economic value in monetary terms, using the application of the contingent valuation method to the castle of Nicastro (Catanzaro, Italy). For the construction of the hypothetical market and the selection criteria and approach to subjects of the statistic sample, the proposed solutions work with operative adjustments, dictated by the characteristics of the resource in question and in general for all cultural resources. The study has produced reliable answers to questions of willingness to pay, expressing the measure of the different components of the value (use value and existence value) contribute to the composition of the total economic value. The study allowed to verify the possibility of using the contingent valuation as a political tool. The particular question format, which combines ‘double bounded dichotomous choice' and ‘open ended' techniques has allowed us to take a sensitivity analysis, defining the measure of willingness to pay.Key words: evaluation cultural resource, contingent valuation method, willingness to payParole chiave: valutazione, beni culturali, metodo di valutazione contingente, disponibilitŕ a pagare

The study aimed to estimate visitor’s Willingness to Pay (WTP) and analyze factors contributing to the funding in attempt to develop ecoutourism of Rupat Island. Outcome of this work can be beneficial to tourism management in relation to improvement of service and facilities that support tourist activities. Primary and secondary data were collected using interview and field observation. Population of the study included travelers in ecotourism of Rupat Island, while those accepting interview were regarded as sample or respondents. In this regard, number of respondents reached 30 persons. Data were collected through Contingent Valuation Method approach and then analyzed using logistic regression. As the results, average value of visitor’s WTP was Rp15.429, with the lowest and highest of IDR3.000 and IDR30.000, respectively. For a month, total visitor’s WTP could reach IDR231.428.571. Furthermore, analysis on factors contributing to WTP significantly revealed that visitor’s income showed positive correlation with WTP, while travel cost and distance showed contrast result.

Uganda is richly endowed with flora and fauna. Until the early 2000s, most of the types of vegetation have remained natural/virgin forests and shrubs until recent years, when human activities have damaged them. Understanding the different ways that people value such endangered forest resources is very important. The main hypothesis in our study is that willingness to pay (WTP) for forest existence value and sustainability depends on the preference for the same values. In addition, we examined socioeconomic characteristics, such as sex, education, and household incomes, which could influence the WTP for forest existence value and sustainability. We carried out field questionnaire interviews with the aim of ascertaining Willingness to Pay (WTP) for forest existence. The WTP values were in a range between 1 and 200 USD based on the contingent valuation method (CVM). A sample with a size of 203 was interviewed in selected towns and villages in Uganda, and the data collected were subjected to statistical analysis. The cross-tabulation of the expressed preferences illustrates that 81.9% of the representative sample are willing to pay for forest existence value and sustainability. We concluded that the willingness to pay for forest existence significantly depends on the preference for forest existence values and sustainability. Our results equally express that the mean WTP in this region is 15 USD per year and that over 60% are willing to pay this amount. The socioeconomic determinants’ results demonstrate heterogeneity and that over 90% of the respondents are willing to pay for forest existence, conservation, and sustainability.
