Impacts of payments for environmental services on local development in northern Costa Rica: A fuzzy multi-criteria analysis

Abstract: Market mechanisms for forest environmental services are increasingly used for promoting environmental conservation, and their impacts on development are of considerable interest. In Costa Rica a national scheme of Payment for Environmental Services (PSA) rewards landowners for the services provided by different forest land-uses. We evaluated the impacts of reforestation under the PSA on local development in the North of the country. We applied a fuzzy multi-criteria analysis including socioeconomic, institutio… Show more

“…For example, some reforestation projects expect improved water availability downstream for reducing peoplés vulnerability, which is not always the case (Locatelli and Vignola 2009). Some mitigation projects claim that carbon revenues will diversify livelihoods and increase household incomes with an effect on the resilience of communities; however, carbon projects or payments for environmental services do not always result in higher household incomes, particularly when the incentivized activities lead to smaller benefits and larger costs for households (Corbera et al 2007;Locatelli et al 2008).…”

“…Quatre SE sont explicitement reconnus : la séquestration de gaz à effet de serre, les services hydrologiques, la protection de la biodiversité, la beauté des paysages. (Miranda et al, 2003 ;Locatelli et al, 2008). Elle a confronté ces résultats aux discours narratifs de différents acteurs impliqués dans le processus de création et d'évolution du PPSE lors d'entretiens semi-structurés (une soixantaine) que nous avons réalisés (Legrand, 2013).…”

“…Toutefois plusieurs études (Miranda et al, 2003 ;Ortiz et al, 2003 ;Zbinden et Lee, 2005) ont mis en évidence que les participants au PPSE sont plutôt de grands propriétaires de terres, ne vivant pas Miranda et al (2003) estiment également que, outre leur difficulté à accéder à des financements de la part du système financier national pour les activités forestières, la participation des populations pauvres au PPSE est limitée par les règles du programme, notamment l'obligation de laisser les terres proposées au PPSE inexploitées en attendant l'acceptation ou non de celles-ci par le dispositif, l'interdiction de participer au programme pour les ménages bénéficiant d'autres programmes gouvernementaux (comme les aides au logement) et initialement pour les petits propriétaires terriens ayant reçu des terres de l'Institut de développement agraire. Au final, c'est avant tout l'obligation initiale de disposer de titres de propriété formels qui a limité la participation des pauvres au PPSE (Locatelli et al, 2008). Malgré les différentes mesures instaurées progressivement pour faciliter la participation des populations pauvres, le constat de leur faible participation demeure 7 (Legrand, 2013).…”
