Increased attention to the value of protected natural areas has led to the proliferation of ecosystem service valuations for coastal habitats. However, these studies do not provide a full representation of the economic value of these habitats. Protected coastal environments, such as the National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS), add jobs and revenue to their local communities. Institutions such as NERRS provide economic contributions that extend beyond their operational spending and jobs they provide. Spending by reserves and their partners ripples throughout the economy. We performed an economic contribution analysis at four pilot sites using input-output modeling through IMPLAN. Sites contributed millions in revenue and tens to hundreds of jobs in their respective regions. Each of the four sites had a different category of spending that was the largest contributor of revenue and jobs, which is likely due to the community context and location of the reserves. Understanding these contributions is helpful in validating funding for NERRS. Communicating these contributions along with ecosystem service values may increase support from community members who otherwise do not use or rely on NERRS as much as traditional reserve supporters.

Ecosystem services in oil palm plantations owned by smallholders in four villages in the Riau Province, Indonesia were identified and valued. Nine provisioning, three regulating and maintenance, one cultural ecosystem service, and a single ecosystem dis-service, were identified from interviews with 62 farming households. Direct and indirect market valuation methods were used to estimate the total economic value (TEV) of these services, which averaged USD 6520 ha−1 year−1 (range = USD 2970–7729 ha−1 year−1). The values of provisioning services were USD 4331 ha−1 year−1 (range = USD 2263–5489 ha−1 year−1), regulating and maintenance services were valued at USD 1880 ha−1 year−1 (range of USD 707–3110 ha−1 year−1), and cultural services were USD 309 ha−1 year−1. We conclude that identifying and valuing ecosystem services offers an opportunity to improve the environmental and economic sustainability of smallholders in oil palm landscapes in Indonesia.

The process of ecosystem service value evaluation has developed from the use of a single economic value that only accounts for material products to an assessment of ecological value and the value of ecosystem services. However, due to the complexity of ecosystems and different understandings of ecosystem service values, different classification methods of ecosystem services and service values have been developed internationally, and this has resulted in a lack of clarity regarding the correlation between ecosystem service value and various ecosystems. The correspondence between the system and each value type is not clear; therefore, based on an analysis of the inadequacy of domestic and foreign ecosystem service classification systems and methods, this study constructed a new accounting framework for non-monetary ecosystem service functions based on emergy analysis and integrated monetary accounting methods. The practical application of the method was also researched. The research results re-classified the value of ecosystem services, established an accounting method for various ecosystem service values, clarified the principle of addition in accounting, and avoided double counting. In the empirical analysis, a large number of correlation coefficients, parameters, and index values found in the foreign literature were used, so, our method also has value for international use.

HighlightKnowing the amount of daily calcium neededKnowing utilization of fish bone meal and its processed productsAnalysis of the most preferred types of food and fish speciesAbstractGourami (Osphronemus gouramy) is a type of freshwater fish native to Indonesia that is widely preferred, and has high economic value so that production per year increases. Increasing the amount of fish production will result in an increased amount of fish bone waste. However, the processing of gourami in general is still limited to using the meat for frying, grilling, filling, and making shredded fish, while the fish bones are not widely used. Several studies have shown that fish bones that are made into flour contain high calcium. Food processing from fish bone flour can be used as an alternative to meet daily calcium intake. Several stud- ies have started to use fish bone flour to become processed food with calcium such as baked donuts, starch balls, and biscuits, but there are still many other foods from the different regions that need to utilize the fish bone as one of their ingredi- ents. The purpose of this study was to analyze the understanding of the community members, and newcomers in Purbalingga regarding the use of fish bone flour, and its processed products, calcium content, also to know their favorite snacks, and types of fish. The results of the survey analysis stated that it is necessary to use Gourami fish bone flour in making calcium dumplings and its resistance to oxygen.

The objective of the study was to obtain the economic value of tourism in Bunaken Island. It employed Travel Cost Method (TCM), the expenses spent by the visitors from their house to Bunaken Island and during their stay on the island. Questioneers were used as a data collection tool. There were 100 respodents selected using accidental sampling and purposssive sampling. Data analysis applied travel costs of the visitors to Bunaken Island. Results revealed that total economic value based on the total travel costs of IDR. 147.875.000 with an average of IDR. 1.478.750/pers. was IDR. 257.262.425.875. This value is expected to be able to give significant contribution to the social-economic development to Bunaken Island communities, Manado, North Sulawesi.Keywords:  Tourism; expense; economic contribution; community.

Issues of consumption-leisure choice and of the effect of education are at the centte of the debate on labour supply and on the economic value of children in peasant agriculture. This paper provides empirical evidence on how education affects child labour supply in an extended commodity demand-labour supply framework, using farmhousehold survey data from the Philippines. The empirical results of this paper point out that adult and child labour respond normally to changes in wages, that a complementarity exists between adult and child labour in farm operations, that children have a positive economic conttibution to farm households in peasant agriculture, and that education may have a limited impact in reducing fertility in rural households.

IntroductionIncreasingly, communities are designing and implementing contextualized approaches to integrated service delivery. Having communities in the lead is critical to successful design and implementation. However, how do researchers work with communities to ensure accurate contextual interpretations of linked administrative data? Objectives and ApproachPolicyWise for Children & Families has been working with communities to create a framework and assist in the implementation of integrated Community-based Mental Health Service Hubs for youth ages 11-24. The approach used to support these communities included multiple sources of data to highlight the need for youth specific mental health care, integrated service delivery and the opportunity for system transformation. This included, but wasn’t limited to, a qualitative environmental scan and individual-level linked administrative data from PolicyWise’s Child and Youth Data Lab. ResultsThe goal of presenting the qualitative and quantitative data summaries was to inform community-led design and implementation of the Mental Health Service Hubs. This presentation describes the constructive interplay of community context, qualitative literature and linked administrative data. Community context and the qualitative environmental scan assisted community members in interpreting the administrative data. Conclusion/ImplicationsThis applied project provides an example of how community members contextualize information from linked administrative data and environmental scan findings to influence program development. The implications of this is that data can reinforce or reshape what communities know about service use and impact how they proceed with planning.
