La valoración económica de los servicios ecosistémicos además de contribuir a su conservación, garantiza el uso adecuado de los recursos. En este sentido, el ecoturismo representa una fuerte alternativa para alcanzar el desarrollo rural sustentable, no obstante, es importante realizar estudios sobre la percepción económica de los turistas para fomentar y conservar los recursos naturales ligados a esta actividad. El presente trabajo se basa en el método de valor contingente para estimar la disposición a pagar por la conservación de los servicios ambientales que el cenote de Sambulá, en el Municipio de Pebá del estado de Yucatán, México, provee. El estudio es cuantitativo y de corte transversal ya que para el análisis de los resultados fue utilizado el modelo econométrico probit ordenado. Los resultados muestran que las variables procedencia local y nacional, así como el número de actividades realizadas en el centro turístico indicen de forma positiva en el aumento de probabilidades de disponer mayores cantidades de dinero para la conservación, mientras que la edad y la percepción de limpieza del lugar inciden de forma negativa. Abstract The economic valuation of ecosystem services contributes to their conservation and guarantees the proper use of resources. In this sense, ecotourism represents a reliable alternative to achieve sustainable rural development. However, it is essential to conduct studies on tourists' economic perceptions to promote and conserve the natural resources linked to this activity. The present work is based on the contingent valuation method to estimate the willingness to pay for the conservation of the environmental services that the waterhole of Sambulá, in the Municipality of Pebá of the state of Yucatán, Mexico, provides. The study is quantitative and cross-sectional since the ordered probit econometric model was used to analyze the data. The results show that the variables of local and national origin and the number of activities carried out in the tourist center indicate positively in the increase of probabilities of having higher amounts of money for conservation. In contrast, the age and the perception of the cleanliness of the place have a negative impact.

Valuation Method

Economic valuation of environmental services has emerged as a new and more direct argument and incentive for protection of trees and sustenance of environmental quality. This study's aim was to estimate the monetary value for conservation of urban trees and environmental services in Benin City, Nigeria. A Contingent Valuation Method involving a survey of 350 residents was adopted for the study. Flooding and erosion control, scenic beauty, provision of shade and regulation of local temperature received positive rankings and high scores. Thus, an average of US$1.20/month, which yielded an aggregate value of US$1 200 000 to US$1 860 00, was the amount Benin City residents were willing to contribute towards the conservation of trees. This study identified profession, years of residency and indigenous knowledge of ES as significant predictors that can influence willingness-to-pay. The findings provided quantitative data to demonstrate the importance of conserving trees to town planners, forest managers, policy makers and the urban community.

The use of the green concept in the automotive industry as an energy-efficient transport innovation is still regarded as a new technology in Malaysia. It also has the potential to alleviate environmental issues in order to improve environmental performance in the automotive industry context. As such, the significance of green technology has become a growing concern, especially among developing countries. The purpose of this study is to determine consumers’ willingness to pay for green vehicles towards solving environmental issues in Malaysia. In order to achieve this, the consumers’ willingness to pay (WTP) and their preferences were examined using the contingent valuation method (CVM) as found in previous studies. Data was gathered using survey questionnaires which were distributed among 445 Malaysians so as to know their preferences in terms of green vehicles and green practices. The data was analyzed using the Economic Valuation Method. The result shows that Malaysians are willing to pay the price increase in road tax by 6.49% maximum level for non-green vehicles as well as all control variables included in the doubled-bounded case. On the other hand, for a single-bounded case, the maximum value is 7.91% which is higher as respondents were given single WTP amount for acceptance compared to the double-bounded case when the initial WTP was followed by another different amount.

The aim of this study was to establish elements to understand the consumers reasons to increase the quantities of fresh vegetables consumed in the Caribbean Region of Colombia. With information from 308 surveys applied randomly in seven cities of the Caribbean Region and using a structured survey that included variables such as age, family composition, prices, income, a Logit econometric model was formulated. Furthermore, with the contingent valuation method, parameters were estimated using maximum likelihood; moreover, the reasons that explain the possibility that families increase vegetable consumption were identified. Results allow us to appreciate first that 53 % of the surveyed respondents would be willing to increase consumption. The variable that explains mostly an increase in consumption is scholarship with a positive value of 0.7667 with a direct relationship, with a significance of 0.005, i.e. with a higher the level of education, the probability of increasing consumption is also higher, presumably because the consumer has more information about the properties and advantages that vegetables have for health. These decisions are also influenced by vegetable prices and consumer age, but in an inverse relationship, i.e. at a higher price and age, less possibility of increasing consumption was observed. On the other hand, variables such as number of family members have a direct influence on decisions to increase vegetable consumption.

Lampung is one of the provinces that has various tourist objects, one of which is the Deer Breeding in Wan Abdul Rachman (WAR) Grand Forest Park (Tahura). Its use as a tourist attracts visitors to come and have recreation. As one of the efforts for sustainable use, it is necessary to carry out an economic valuation. The purpose of this study was to calculate the willingness to pay visitors to the Deer Breeding in Tahura WAR using the willingness to pay method and to estimate the revenue received from the tourist attraction of Tahura WAR Deer Captivity. The method used in this research is the willingness to pay method with the contingent valuation method (CVM) and the total revenue method. The research was conducted from February to March 2020. The respondents selected regarding the purposive sampling method that was 100 people. The results showed that the average value of the willingness to pay visitors in Tahura WAR Deer Breeding was Rp. 12.900,-/person/visit, and acceptance of the Tahura WAR Deer Breeding was Rp. 27.552.00.000,-/year the value obtained from the willingness to pay visitors to a hypothetical market in the form of making deer conservation education packages.

Green electricity, which comes from renewable sources such as wind, hydro and solar, are well appreciated for their being environment friendly. The advantage of these sources are apparent in part of already natural environment. Moreover, this modern form of electricity also contributes in the poverty alleviation in developing countries, which is one of the sustainable development goals (SDG). The objective of this study is to explore electricity consumers’ willingness to pay for the sustainable energy by employing the contingent valuation method (CVM). The respondents were divided into two broad categories of urban and rural consumers. A total of 400 respondents from urban and 405 respondents from rural areas were selected for this study. The CVM calculated the overall price of green electricity for the improvement of environment through increasing the share of electricity from renewable energy sources. The widely used WTP measure double-bounded dichotomous was utilised to elicit the appropriate value of green electricity from the bid price. The results from the logit regressions showed that the respondents with high income and a higher level of education are willing to pay more for green electricity in both urban and rural models. However, results also revealed that the willingness to pay for green electricity is high in younger people than older people. The mean willingness to pay has found 0.33 cents per kWh in the urban model, while is 0.24 in the rural model. The results provided a guideline to the government to charge an appropriate surcharge from the consumers in order to enhance the share of green electricity in energy mix.

Environmental Goods And Services

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.

The existence of parks is particularly important and offers many benefits both to the environment and to humans. Parks are recreational spaces, which contribute to the improvement of the microclimate, reduce atmospheric pollution and protect biodiversity. Their importance for the urban environment is even greater because they offer pure oxygen to the city and people feel close to nature in them. The aim of this study is to review studies which took place globally as well as in Greece, relying on the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) for parks. The reason that this method is used is the valuation of non-market goods and services through the development of a hypothetical market. Additionally, a distinction is made among previous empirical studies depending on the nature of the parks and the country where the survey was conducted, while the disadvantages that must be considered from the use of Contingent Valuation Method are mentioned. According to the findings of the literature review, studies using Contingent Valuation in Greece, particularly in the case of urban parks, are limited. As far as we know, the valuation of existing urban parks has not yet been studied, so this could be a field for further research. The economic valuation of parks in a country like Greece, which suffered with the financial crisis, can lead to conclusions about the value that citizens attribute to parks and the identification of possible protest responses.
