Gaviglio A., Pirani A. (2015): Consumer perception of cured pork meats: the added value of the organic attribute. Czech J. Food Sci., 33: 32-36.Convenience foods, such as cured meats, have always been appreciated in terms of their price, convenience and of course their taste. The pig sector in Italy is substantially stable, and has recently been enhanced by new forms of product differentiation, such as quality certifications. We studied consumer preferences with respect to cured meats from organic farming using a Choice Experiment (CE) and Conditional Logit (CL) approach. In order to estimate consumer attitudes towards organic cured meats, we estimated the weight of externalities that such meats produce presenting them as intrinsic attributes of the product. The final aim was therefore to examine how better health, the protection of biodiversity and the reduction of pollution can affect the choices of organic versus conventional cured meats. Given the characteristics of CE, the trade-offs among these attributes and their value in terms of consumer willingness to pay (WTP) were thus estimated. The results indicate that consumers are well-disposed to organic cured meats, and are aware of the need to support livestock productions that respect the environment and animal welfare.

“…A scale consists of a set of selected statements or manifest items that are expected to assess or reflect theoretical latent variables, constructs, or factors [15]. Systematic measures of cultural attitudes are useful, and in many cases necessary, to investigate the multidimensional nature of cultural preferences [16,17] and to reveal how respondents can vary in their cultural attitudes. To address this research gap, Choi et al [18] developed a Cultural Worldview (CW) scale that aimed to measure procultural attitudes (i.e., perceived human-culture relationships) in terms of general beliefs and perceptions (i.e., general attitudes).…”

“…Attitudes are broadly defined as a mental state in which a favorable or unfavorable evaluation toward an object is processed [19]. Building on the multidimensional nature of cultural values [16,17], the CW scale addresses the heterogeneity issue of cultural nonmarket valuation by providing additional information about latent constructs of people's cultural concern and about individual positions in the constructs. Choi et al [18] defined cultural value as the perceived economic significance of cultural goods and services in an effort to explain why some people attach more value (significance or importance) to the same degree of conservation activities involving cultural heritage than others.…”

Cultural Attitudes as WTP Determinants: A Revised Cultural Worldview Scale

There has been little attention paid to the systematic measurement issue of general attitudes toward human-culture relationships. This paper applied the Cultural Worldview (CW) scale that was developed by Choi et al. in 2007 (published in the Journal of Cultural Economics), and investigated its dimensionality and relationship with willingness to pay (WTP) for cultural heritage protection through a sequential integration between latent variables and valuation models. A case study of 997 Korean respondents was employed to examine conservation values of cultural heritage sites using discrete choice models. Confirmatory factor analyses demonstrated that this scale can be used either as a single second-order factor or four correlated factors. A more parsimonious version of the CW scale with twelve items is endorsed in this paper and the results also confirm that it is valid for use with non-Western nations. The findings support a significant attitude-WTP relationship; there was a significant role of the CW scale that reveals unobserved factors in valuation models.

“…According to Decree-law 309/2009, a building could have relevant cultural interest in historic, paleontological, archeological, architectonic, artistic, ethnography, scientific, social, industrial or technical and these must be demonstrate, separately or jointly, memory values, antique, authenticity, originality, rarity, uniqueness or exemplary. The cultural heritage involves a complex process of interdisciplinary approach values such as identity, authenticity, integrity, exemplarity, originality, oldest and many others recognized as cultural ones to preserve in collective memory and our history (Mazzanti 2002). Portugal has 5.9 million residential units and 17% of them are old with vernacular characteristics before the advent of reinforced concrete building.…”

ABSTRACT. The retrofitting works in old buildings require appropriate knowledge of the vernacular techniques. Previous researches have identified retrofitting works as more intrusive and using more unnecessary demolition materials than real needs. This study constitutes a new framework that focuses on the project management success of old building retrofitting in historical centres by developing a methodological system for this purpose. It uses a construction sector system approach, reviews legal requirements, framework specifications, recommendation practices and sustainable measures adapted to old building projects. It presents 50 parameters adapted to these works' specificities that could be used by construction market stakeholders. The research uses a case study methodology divided in two parts. The first one involves the review of building retrofitting projects in historical centres, complemented by a questionnaire in the second part. The results of the projects review have shown little concern with the underlying sustainability aspects of retrofitting works in all project designs analysed. However, the questionnaire results have revealed a high interest and applicability of all parameters omitted in the project designs data. The study describes a useful management system in a toolkit format which might contribute to reduce uncertainty in the management of retrofitting projects in historical centres.
