ANALISIS NILAI EKONOMI PERIKANAN SETU PATOK DESA SETU PATOK, KECAMATAN MUNDU, KABUPATEN CIREBON

Setu Patok is a small lake located in Setu Patok Village, Mundu Sub District, Cirebon Districts, West Java Province. Currently it is used as a source of agricultural irrigation, fishing ground, and tourism object. However, all these uses have not been carried out optimally. In this study, the benefits studied were only devoted to fishery utilization in order to find out the Setu Patok Fisheries Economic Value (NEP). The study uses the Production Function Approach or Market Based Aproach method, which measures the value of environmental goods and services based on market value. The study used primary data through direct interviews with fishermen. As a result, it was found that the Setu Patok NEP was IDR 421,494,000/year.Setu Patok adalah sebuah danau kecil yang berada di Desa Setu Patok, Kecamatan Mundu, Kabupaten Cirebon, Provinsi Jawa Barat. Saat ini dimanfaatkan sebagai sumber irigasi pertanian, perikanan tangkap dan objek wisata. Namun, semua pemanfaatan tersebut belum dilakukan secara optimal. Dalam penelitian ini, manfaat yang diteliti dikhususkan hanya pada manfaat langsung khususnya perikanan tangkap dengan tujuan untuk mengetahui Nilai Ekonomi Perikanan (NEP) Setu Patok. Penelitian menggunakan metode Production Function Approach atau Market Based Aproach yaitu mengukur nilai barang dan jasa lingkungan berdasarkan nilai pasar. Penelitian menggunakan data primer melalui wawancara langsung dengan para nelayan. Hasilnya, didapat bahwa NEP Setu Patok adalah sebesar Rp 421.494.000/tahun.

Environmental Goods And Services

Africa’s environmental capital is an asset for African people. However, Africa’s ecological footprint is increasing and is close to exceeding the continent’s biocapacity. Therefore, shifting to “green growth” is an option to achieve sustainable development, and Africa is well placed to generate benefits from existing environmental capital and latecomer’s advantage. One challenge is how to realize the conversion of environmental capital value into economic value. The valuation of environmental goods and services is a challenge. However, Africa faces the risk of global environmental problems, such as climate change. Even though Africa’s greenhouse gas emissions are limited compared to developed countries and emerging economies, climate change may have a more severe impact. Although the scale and impact of climate change is uncertain, it will lead to the loss of accumulated developmental benefit for Africa. This issue has been long debated, but no best solution has been identified, so further studies are necessary.

Environmental Goods And Services

Environmental valuation is the branch of environmental economics in which researchers estimate the economic value of environmental goods and services. Environmental valuation has been practiced for decades. However, there are some ideas in the field of environmental valuation held by many environmental economists and nonenvironmental economists that appear to be outdated. This article discusses three such ideas: 1) that it is better to estimate willingness-to-pay values than willingness-to-accept values; 2) that stated preference valuation methods are questionable because they are based on hypothetical choices rather than real choices; and 3) that it is better to use a repeated-choice question format than a single-choice format in choiceexperiments. We discuss the origins of each idea and why the idea became prevalent in the first place. We then review recent literature, which casts doubt on the idea. We conclude with a reminder for researchers—in environmental economics and in other economic fields—to periodically reassess ideas they currently hold in light of recent research developments and in light of the context in which they are used.
