This study aims to: (1) determine the characteristics of chrysanthemum consumers in three cities in Java, namely Yogyakarta, Semarang and Surakarta, (2) compare the willingness to pay (WTP) of chrysanthemum consumers, especially Pasopati cultivar in the three cities, (3) analyze the determinant factors of the chrysanthemum consumers’ WTP. There is a total of 120 respondents who participated in this study, i.e., 40 in each city selected with accidental sampling. The consumers’ WTP was assessed using contingent valuation method, and its determinant factors was analyzed using multiple regression. The results showed that the majority of chrysanthemum consumers in the three cities were 17-25 years old, were female, held a bachelor degree, owned a job, were single and had no dependent. The value of wilingness to pay from the three cities shows higher results than the market price of IDR 30,000. The highest WTP value is in Semarang City and the lowest WTP value is in Yogyakarta City. Based on the results of the regression, the determinants that influence the value of WTP differ in each city, but income is a significant determinant in all cities. The value of willingness to pay chrysanthemum Pasopati cultivar can be used as a reference to set the selling price of chrysanthemum flowers. Chrysanthemum such as Pasopati cultivar in Indonesia, needs to be developed more by looking at the willingness of consumers to pay.

Banana is a fruit with the highest consumption level in Indonesia. There are many types of bananas in Indonesia, but only a few types are sold in modern markets and fruit shops, among other Cavendish banana. The Cavendish is known to consumers by their attractive appearance, superior quality and relatively higher prices. This study aims to assess the value of the consumers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for Cavendish banana and its determinant factors. There are two methods used, i.e., contingent valuation method to evaluate the consumers’ willingness to pay, and multiple regression to analyse its determinant factors. Primary data were obtained from 100 respondents by purposive sampling and interviewed in Yogyakarta Special Region between April and June 2019. The results indicate that the consumers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for Cavendish banana is IDR 24,485/kg, which is above the market price. The determinant factors of the consumers’ willingness to pay include the Cavendish banana price, quality of the Cavendish, monthly frequency of consuming banana, family size, income and marital status. The high value of the consumers’ willingness to pay indicates the good opportunity to expand the Cavendish banana market in Special Province Yogyakarta, by taking into account quality and market segmentation.

This chapter applied the approach of contingent valuation method to analyze consumers' willingness to pay for proposed safe pork. The data was collected by face-to-face interview with 884 urban households in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta. The results revealed that the majority of consumers (about 64%) paid attention to the proposed safe pork. Their willingness to pay was about VND 176,000 ($ 7.65) per kg, nearly double compared to the market price of conventional pork. Consumers who had higher household income, the elderly and children in family, paid higher price of a conventional pork, and more knowledge on the safe pork tended to buy, while those who have more family members are less likely to pay for the proposed safe pork.

Ecosystems services (ES) provide food and recreation to humans, but are fast being degraded. Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) have been proposed as a way to protect some of these ES, but decisions regarding what gets protection and what gets consumed can be a source of conflicts. One such example is the Fernando de Noronha MPA (Brazil), where there is a conflict between shark-directed tourism and fishers who would like to access the no-take part of the MPA during part of the year. A contingent valuation method (Willingness to Pay) was used to ascertain if tourists would accept compensating fishers for not disturbing the sharks during a specific period of the year, by adding a symbolic increase in the taxes they already pay to either visit the island or to visit the no-take part of the MPA. Tourists were open to this alternative (67-71%), regardless of the fee being paid. However, there was a slight tendency to reject the fee when the tourists saw sharks during their stay, suggesting that a closer contact with these animals triggered a less sympathetic attitude towards fishers, probably because they start seeing fishers as wrongdoers, even if this is the worst choice for conservation. Although such a hypothetical payment was easily accepted by the majority of the tourists and could represent an affordable solution to conflicts, convincing those who reject such social compensation, especially if based on an irrational choice, would be an important step for sharks and for the MPA as a whole.

Kabupaten Wonosobo memiliki potensi pada sektor pariwisata, salah satunya objek wisata Dataran Tinggi Dieng. Pariwisata merupakan salah satu sektor yang berpotensi memberikan kontribusi terhadap Pendapatan Asli Daerah (PAD). Akan tetapi, kontribusi PAD Wonosobo dalam pembiayaan belanja daerah kurang dari 15 persen. Oleh karena itu, tujuan dilaksanakannya penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis kondisi objek wisata terhadap beberapa atribut dengan menggunakan analisis IPA; mengestimasi nilai willingness to pay pengunjung dengan menggunakan Contingent Valuation Method (CVM); serta merumuskan strategi peningkatan PAD Kabupaten Wonosobo melalui peningkatan retribusi objek wisata Dataran Tinggi Dieng dengan menggunakan analisis SWOT. Hasil analisis IPA menunjukkan atribut kondisi jalan menuju kawasan wisata, kebersihan, pelayanan, promosi, penanganan keluhan pengunjung, kemacetan, tempat pembuangan sampah, fasilitas toilet dan musholla menjadi prioritas utama untuk diperbaiki. Sedangkan dari hasil analisis CVM diperoleh nilai WTP sebesar Rp16 513 per orang. Berdasarkan hasil analisis tersebut serta hasil wawancara yang telah dilakukan, dapat teridentifikasi faktor-faktor yang menjadi kekuatan, kelemahan, peluang dan ancaman yang dituangkan dalam matriks SWOT. Terdapat lima strategi yang berperan dalam peningkatan retribusi objek wisata dataran tinggi dieng yaitu: 1) Meningkatkan kerjasama dalam pengelolaan dan pengembangan sumberdaya wisatayang memiliki daya tarik; 2) Membangun sistem yang terintegrasi; 3) membangun dan memperbaiki sarana dan fasilitas umum; 4) memperbaiki akses menuju objek wisata; dan 5) merumuskan peraturan yang mengatur tentang pariwisata, pengelolaan objek wisata beserta elemen-elemennya.

It is well known to economists that the contingent valuation method (CVM) fills an important gap in valuation technology with respect to managing public environmental goods and services.   Currently acceptable CVM practice requires many challenging steps to be followed.  One of these important steps is that of assessing the theoretical validity of the household willingness to pay (WTP) finding, but it is far from being a sufficient basis for reaching conclusions as to the credibility predicted community willingness to pay for environmental services.  This paper reviews the step of testing for theoretical validity and challenges its importance relative to other more fundamental assessments of the credibility of the predicted household and societal WTP.  This paper then deduces that an external ‘audit’ assessment may be necessary, in addition to an internal one, for these values to attain credibility in the determination of public choices.

Recent attempts to test the validity of the contingent valuation method have relied on laboratory-type experiments. In these experiments, willingness to pay responses in hypothetical choice experiments are compared with responses from choice experiments requiring actual payments. Often evidence of hypothetical bias is found. Critical for these experimental tests of hypothetical surveys is that the methodology used to elicit willingness to pay from subjects in the real-payment experiment be demand revealing. If it is not, then differences in responses to hypothetical and real valuation questions could be due to free-riding in the real-payment survey and not due to hypothetical bias in the hypothetical survey. This paper reports on experiments that implement a theoretically incentive-compatible revelation mechanism (a closed referendum) to elicit responses to valuation questions in both hypothetical and real experiments. As in earlier studies, evidence of an upward hypothetical bias is found.
