This article presents the results of an analysis of the social and recreational value of waves at Icaraí Beach, located in Caucaia municipality, Ceará, Northeast Brazil. The evaluation of the wave resource followed the Zonal Travel Cost Method, a fundamental tool for obtaining economic estimates ​​of ecosystem services that are not subject to market forces. The method provides a valuation of unique abiotic resources that underpin tourism, sporting and recreational economies. For data collection, 50 questionnaires with open and closed questions were administered from February to July 2019 to a specific audience, the local surfers. The social value of Icaraí’s surf break is strongly related to the surfers' familiarity with the beach, as well as in the perception of the wave resource as a profitable attraction for the local economy. It is estimated that the economic benefit of the surf break at Icaraí Beach is US$ 288,364 per annum, which is spent by 1,185 surfers, averaging US$ 1.37 for each surf trip. In summary, the values ​​reflect economic benefits for the municipality of Caucaia and can assist decision-making processes, contributing to the protection and maintenance of the beach by incorporating wave resources into an effective coastal management strategy.

AbstractThe true economic value of ecosystem services may not be reflected in market transactions, because there is no real transaction for ecosystem services in the market. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the cost of time and travel to define the value people place on something in the absence of a market price. This study estimates the recreational value of Ghaleh Rudkhan forest park in the north of Iran using the individual travel cost method. This method is considered to be a substitute approach for the market. The data required were collected using questionnaires. Therefore, 271 questionnaires were randomly distributed between the visitors of the recreational site in 2016. In this study, a linear function is used to estimate the effects of explanatory variables including economic and social variables on the number of visits to estimate the recreational value of the forest park. Results showed that a consumer surplus of each person for their visit was 21500 Rials and the annual recreational value of the park was 78390595 Rials per ha. Furthermore, the variables such as travel expenses, income, distance, family size and visitor’s age are effective factors in the recreational use of the park. The results of this study can improve the quality of environmental services of the Ghaleh Rudkhan forest park and could expand the variety of services that they could supply based on the demand of the people.

To estimate the recreational value provided by the Foy’s Lake annually using the most applicable model for on-site data is the main objective of this study. Adhere to the objective of this study; Individual Travel Cost Method (ITCM) has been applied and Zero Truncated Poisson Regression Model has been found plausible among other models to estimate consumer surplus. Based on the findings of the study, an estimate of the consumer surplus or recreational benefits per trip per visitor can be recommended as BDT 5,875 or US $ 73.44 and counting the consumer surplus per trip per visitor, the annual recreational value (total consumer surplus) provided by the lake is found to be BDT 321 million or US $ 40.2 million.

Mangrove Ecosystems

Muara Angke merupakan satu – satunya kawasan yang masih memiliki ekosistem mangrove di daerah pesisir Jakarta. Luas Muara Angke kurang lebih 964,98 ha dibagi menjadi tiga zona. Dua diantaranya berkontribusi pada sektor Perikanan dan Ekowisata, yaitu Pangkalan Pendaratan Ikan (PPI) dan Taman Wisata Alam Angke Kapuk (TWAAK). Kurangnya pemahaman umum tentang manfaat ekonomi ekosistem mangrove  menyebabkan masyarakat mengeksploitasi secara berlebihan sehingga terjadi perubahan penggunaan lahan. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui nilai ekonomi yang dihasilkan ekosistem mangrove berdasarkan dua aspek yaitu Perikanan Tangkap dan Ekowisata. Data Perikanan Tangkap menggunakan data sekunder dari Pengelola PPI Muara Angke tahun 2016 – 2017. Data sosial ekonomi diperoleh menggunakan  wawancara dengan bantuan kuesioner. Data biaya perjalanan rata – rata diperoleh dengan wawancara pengunjung TWAAK. Analisis Valuasi Ekonomi Perikanan Tangkap menggunakan Market Price Method. Analisis Valuasi Ekonomi Ekowisata Mangrove menggunakan Travel Cost Method. Metode penentuan 100 responden nelayan tangkap menggunakan Random Sampling sedangkan penentuan 100 responden pengunjung TWAAK menggunakan Accidental Sampling. Hasil penelitian didapatkan nilai ekonomi pada aspek perikanan tahun 2016 Rp. 13.148.945.100, tahun 2017 Rp.21.087.388.300 dan tahun 2018 Rp. 370.313.869.500. Hasil penelitian didapatkan nilai ekonomi ekowisata tahun 2018 Rp.40.28.400.000 Muara Angke is the only area that still has mangrove ecosystems in the coastal areas of Jakarta. Muara Angke area is approximately 964.98 ha divided into three zones. Two of them contribute to the Fisheries and Ecotourism sector, namely Fish Landing Base (PPI) and Angke Kapuk Nature Park (TWAAK). Lack of general understanding of the economic benefits of mangrove ecosystems causes people to over-exploit so that land use changes occur. The purpose of this study was to determine the economic value generated by mangrove ecosystems based on two aspects, namely Capture Fisheries and Ecotourism. Capture Fisheries Data uses secondary data from Muara Angke PPI Manager in 2016 - 2017. Socio-economic data were obtained using interview with Muara Angke fishermen with questionnaire assistance. Average travel cost data is obtained by interviewing TWAAK visitors. Capture Fisheries Economic Valuation Analysis using Market Price Method. Economic Valuation Analysis of Ecotourism Mangroves use the Travel Cost Method. The method of determining 100 respondents of capture fishermen uses Random Sampling while the determination of 100 respondents of TWAAK visitors uses Accidental Sampling. The results of the study obtained economic value in aspects of fisheries in 2016 Rp. 13,148,945,100, in 2017 Rp.21,087,388,300 and in 2018 Rp. 370,313,869,500. The results of the study obtained the economic value of ecotourism in 2018 Rp. 40.28.400.000
