Abstract In this chapter the motivations of garden visiting are explored at a deeper level, into the realm of psychology and psychological drivers to gardens. This research area is called "semiotics". It is suggested that examination of the five senses would be a major indicator of semiotics as much of what a tourist experiences or displays would be recorded through the five human senses. Moreover, the five senses lead to a realization of happiness which is what tourism seeks and indeed what the human species ultimately wishes. A case study is presented of semiotics research conducted in the Queens Botanical Garden, Flushing, New York, USA. The literature that links gardens (and gardening) to human health and well-being is also reviewed.

While climate change is expected to exacerbate human health risks, it also provides an excellent opportunity for defining and implementing preventive actions. Developing nations like India, with low infrastructure facilities, limited resources, varied development priorities and, often with large population, are particularly vulnerable to health impacts - more so under the climate change regime. The greatest challenge facing the current Indian health service provisioning system is that it has to cater to the health service needs of its large population within a short time and with sustainable impact. Limited health ‘cure infrastructure' (low per capita availability of doctor, hospital beds, etc.), lack of qualified health practitioners, absence of a strong monitoring system in disease surveillance and rising cost of ‘cure infrastructure' are some of the major drawbacks of the existing system in India. There is therefore, a need for mainstreaming more preventive measures which will enhance human health resilience and make the population less exposed and more resilient to the predicted impacts of climate change. To provide preventive care to the Indian population, a paradigm shift in strategy is required. The new regime needs to emphasize on an integration of ‘traditional preventive health care systems' with modern cure targeted pharmaceuticals and non-health sector interventions. Such a system is expected to reduce the long term demand for cure infrastructure and will provide a more holistic inclusive solution to the Indian problems.

While some segments of society may want to be promoted and informed about products and services, some segments argue that most of the advertising activities can negatively affect human health due to poor control. Considering that the advertisements will mislead individuals and affect the health of the society in a positive way, the existence of advertising bans is considered an accurate decision to protect public health. Due to its advertising structure, it turns healthcare into a commercial commodity and sells healthcare. This situation disrupts the social structure of the health service and makes the service a subject of competition between institutions and individuals. It is seen that obstacles are put in this regard and serious sanctions are imposed. Health personnel also have important duties to prevent health from being a commercial good and to provide a respected health environment.

Human health and wellbeing are intrinsically connected to our seas and oceans through a complex relationship comprising both positive and negative influences. Although significant public health impacts result from this relationship, the economic implications are rarely analysed. We reviewed the literature to assess current knowledge on the economic valuation and impacts of ocean and human health interactions in a European context. Quantitative analyses on the economic impacts of varying ocean-health interactions were limited. Common challenges to economic assessment included the difficulty in obtaining estimates for indirect healthcare costs, under-reporting of illness and the lack of standardization of surveillance data on illnesses, when available. It was also evident that non-market values, such as health promotion and psychological benefits are underrepresented in economic assessments, most likely because of the lack of standardized valuation methods for such non-market values. We provide recommendations to improve knowledge of ocean and human health linkages and progress future assessment of its economic implications in Europe.

ANALISIS FAKTOR-FAKTOR YANG MEMPENGARUHI JUMLAH KUNJUNGAN DAN NILAI EKONOMI KEBUN RAYA BOGORYuzuardi Haban, Rosalina A.M. Koleangan, George M.V. KawungFakultas Ekonomi dan Bisnis, Magister Ilmu EkonomiUniversitas Sam Ratulangi, ManadoABSTRAK Penelitian ini memiliki dua tujuan, tujuan yang pertama untuk mengetahui pengaruh faktor-faktor yang diduga mempengaruhi jumlah kunjungan individu ke Kebun Raya Bogor dengan menggunakan analisis regresi berganda, faktor-faktor tersebut antara lain biaya perjalanan (travel cost), pendapatan (income), umur (age), tingkat pendidikan (education), persepsi kualitas (quality) dan pengaruh substitusi (substitution) tempat wisata sejenis. Tujuan yang kedua adalah untuk mengestimasi nilai ekonomi Kebun Raya Bogor dengan  menggunakan salah satu metode penilaian ekonomi yaitu Travel Cost Method (TCM) atau metode biaya perjalanan, sebuah metode berdasarkan survei yang menggunakan biaya perjalanan ke suatu lokasi tujuan untuk mengestimasi fungsi permintaan akan lokasi tersebut. Dengan menerapkan fungsi permintaan dalam model regresi hubungan antara jumlah kunjungan dan variabel yang mempengaruhi jumlah kunjungan dapat diperoleh. Hal ini membuat metode travel cost memungkinkan untuk mengestimasi surplus konsumen yang nilainya digunakan untuk mewakili nilai ekonomi Kebun Raya Bogor. Objek penelitian yang dipilih adalah Kebun Raya Bogor yang merupakan salah satu obyek wisata terkenal di Kota Bogor, Provinsi Jawa Barat. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini menggunakan sampel sejumlah 100 pengunjung Kebun Raya Bogor. Kata kunci: Penilaian Ekonomi, Travel Cost Method, Tempat Wisata, Surplus KonsumenABSTRACT This study has two objectives, the first objective was to determine the influence of the factors suspected to affect the number of individual visits to the Bogor Botanical Garden by using multiple regression analysis, these factors include travel cost, income, age, education level, perceived quality and substitution effect similar sites. The second objective is to estimate the economic value of the Bogor Botanical Gardens using one of the methods of economic assessment is Travel Cost Method (TCM), a method based on a survey using the cost of traveling to a destination for estimating function will request that location. By applying the demand function in the regression model the relationship between the number of visits and the variables that influence the number of visits can be obtained. This makes the travel cost method allows to estimate the consumer surplus value is used to represent the economic value of the Bogor Botanical Gardens. The selected research object is the Bogor Botanical Garden which is one of the famous sights of the city of Bogor, West Java Province. The data used in this study using a sample of 100 visitors Bogor Botanical Gardens. Keywords: Economic Evaluation, Travel Cost Method, Tourism, Consumer Surplus
