Bangladesh is a Riverine country; however, Halda River is of special interest among them in recent time for being the only tidal freshwater River in the world that serves as a natural spawning ground for major Indian carps. Besides, this River serves some indirect and non-use values. This study aims at estimating the economic worth of the indirect and non-use value of Halda River. Both indirect and non-use values of this River were calculated by using contingent valuation method. The study found that total indirect use value per year from this River was Tk. 29.50 million. We also estimated that total non-use value was Tk. 31.46 million which comprised of bequest value of Tk. 14.85 million and option value of Tk. 16.61 million. The study suggests that this valid source of information should take into consideration for the decision makers in taking projects and programmes aimed at managing this River more wisely in the future.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jesnr.v6i2.22092 J.

AbstractRecreation demand studies have traditionally utilized a two-step valuation method, estimating conditional recreation participation probabilities and then intensity of use decisions. These two steps of analysis are combined to estimate the use value of natural resource recreation sites. The purpose of this paper is to provide a method by which use value can be estimated solely from the participation decision. The one-step resource valuation method allows estimation of use values from coefficients of the logistic regression recreation participation equation. The benefits of the method are the reduced data and effort required to value natural resource areas.

Deep-sea game fishing is an activity that tourists can enjoy at some holiday destinations. This paper presents results on the benefits received by international tourists from big-game fishing in Gran Canaria (Canary Islands). Both the use and the preservation values emanating from the sport-fishing resource are investigated by following the contingent valuation method. The responses to two dichotomous choice questions are modelled using a bivariate approach which takes account of possible correlation effects. The results show that both use and preservation values can be significantly explained by the practitioners' socio-economic characteristics as well as by the degree of their involvement in the fishing activity. It is also determined that the preservation value for the biomass stock is very relevant when compared with the use value for the activity of big-game fishing.

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.

Bien Ho is one of the volcanic landscapes showing lava eruptions that occurred millions of years ago. It is a symbol of the volcanic landscapes in the Tay Nguyen, Vietnam, which keeps a lot of values. This article aimed to quantify recreational and conservative values. The travel cost and contingent valuation method were used to estimate the recreational and conservative value (existence, bequest, and option value) of Bien Ho, respectively. The results indicated that the recreational and conservative value of Bien Ho volcanic landscape was 1,436.9 billion VND and 38.6 billion VND, respectively. The average willingness to pay in the contingent valuation method was 39,388 VND and depended only on ethnicity and age. The study used different populations to define survey samples according to each estimating method to improve the confident accuracy of the results.

The purpose of this study was to determine the value of the Cepogo sadranan cultural tradition from the perspective communities to form Non Use Value . Non Use Value is value a combination of opsyen values, existence, heritance that forms Passive value. The research was conducted on the community not users in Central Java. The Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) was used in this study. Multiple linear models are used to find out the variables studied are and explained by independent variables (distance, income, age). The results of the study of the independent variables significantly can explain the variables studied the willingness of the community not the user to pay (WTP) to preserve the cultural tradition of Cepogo sadranan. An organization that manages sadranan culture preservation funds is needed so that the understanding of future generations can still preserve the sadranan cultural tradition as a vehicle for unifying community friendship.

Abstract. Authors. 2019. Economic valuation of the Danau Sentarum National Park, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20: 1983-1989. The Danau Sentarum ecosystem in West Kalimantan, Indonesia is officially protected by its status as an Indonesian national park. Nevertheless, it remains under severe threat of deforestation. Rainforest destruction has already caused a decline in ecosystem functions and services. In addition, it is affecting numerous economic activities in and around the Danau Sentarum National Park. The objectives of this study are to determine the total economic value (TEV) of the Danau Sentarum National Park and look for appropriate mechanisms to realize such values. Survey methods were used in this research. 180 respondents were selected by random sampling method from three Management Section National Park (MSNP). TEV in this research was restricted on direct use value, indirect use value and option value. Estimation of DSNP ecosystem benefits was approached by market price, travel cost method, contingent valuation method, and opportunity cost adjusted for the benefits calculated. The direct use value of Danau Sentarum National Park is IDR 18.5 billion/year while the indirect use value of Danau Sentarum National Park is IDR 34.2 billion/year. The option value of Danau Sentarum National park is IDR 86.2 billion/year. The total economic value resulted in Danau Sentarum National Park is IDR 139,1 billion/year, equivalent to an average of IDR 1.1 million/year for the total park area (132,000 ha). When compared to the TEV of the DSNP, such costs amounted to only 4.87 percent compared to the value of the benefits Based on monetary values of ecosystem services that are provided by this park we could assess the mechanisms to finance the park’s conservation and sustainable use. This will help the self-management of national parks.

Eden 100 Forest Park is an ecotourism area that has the potential of natural resources that can be used as tourist attractions. Forest Park Eden 100 also provides environmental services such as hydrological forest services, forest services as carbon sinks, and forest services in producing timber and non-timber goods. This study aims to find out what environmental services are provided by the Eden 100 forest and to analyze the economic value of environmental services and the obstacles and challenges faced by managers in efforts to preserve forest ecosystems. The results showed that the Eden 100 Forest Park provides environmental services in the form of direct use environmental services, namely wood production with economic value of the economic value of wood production of Rp 7,822,633,800 and non-wood (fruits) of Rp 25,500,000, non-use value directly in the form of natural landscapes (ecotourism) whose value is calculated using the travel cost method (TCM) and a yield of Rp 1,164,181,800 is obtained, non-use value in the form of existence services whose economic value is calculated using the contingent valuation method (CVM) of Rp.60,158,120 , as a carbon sink value which is calculated using the allometric method, and a yield of Rp. 18,161,220,000 is obtained. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that the total economic value of the Eden 100 Forest is Rp. 27,233,693,720. This proves that the existence of the Eden 100 forest is a very big economic benefit if its sustainability is maintained because it can absorb carbon which gives a great economic value. Efforts to manage and preserve Eden Forest Park 100 as a tourist attraction have been carried out in an integrated manner with the government, private sector and local communities, but need to be increased so that forests can provide environmental services in a sustainable manner.

There are tens of typical volcano-related relics such as craters and waterfalls in the Pleiku volcanic plateau, Gia Lai province however, Gia Lai’s tourism has underdeveloped. Thus it is vital finding the specific tourist products to promote the provincial nonsmoking industry. Quantifying conservative values of typical volcanic landscapes in the form of money would provide useful information for decision-makers to plan and develop rural tourism. This study was applied to the contingent valuation method to estimate the conservative values of twenty volcanic landscapes in the Pleiku plateau. The results indicated that Bien Ho volcanic landscape got the highest traditional value with above 38.60 billion VND. Subsequently, the conservative value of Chu Dang Ya was 27.28 billion VND. The value of the Phu Cuong waterfall was also estimated quite highly. Furthermore, our new finding is that there was a close relationship between the results coming from the conservative valuation and the results coming from evaluation, classification of geoheritages based on UNESCO’s criteria adapting in Vietnam. The study figured out that there was a close relationship between the conservative valuation and information accessibility on twenty landscapes by interviewees before.
