“…S 0 denotes the residents' WTP for water quality improvements. Figure 3 [38][39][40][41] shows the logical relationship for each factor, which was established through a combination of existing literature studies and expert consultation. In this figure, V indicates that row factors have a direct or indirect influence on column factors, A indicates that column factors have a direct or indirect influence on row factors, and O indicates that there is no relationship between row and column factors.…”

Exploring the determinants of residents’ willingness to pay (WTP) for water quality improvements is essential for protecting the water quality and formulating effective governance policies. This paper applies the double-bounded dichotomous contingent valuation method (CVM) to determine residents’ WTP for water quality improvements, calculate the average annual willingness of Haikou residents to pay for water quality improvements, and explore the factors influencing residents’ WTP for water quality improvements. Interpretive structural modeling (ISM) is then used to further analyze the association and hierarchy between the influencing factors. The results show that (1) Residents are willing to pay an average of 28.42 RMB/household/year for water quality improvements, and the total annual value of water quality improvements in Haikou is at least 5.58 × 108 RMB; (2) age, education level, income level, minor family member and government trust are the main factors that significantly (p < 0.05) influence urban residents’ WTP; (3) among the factors identified as significantly affecting WTP, the deeper root factors include educational attainment, age, and ultimately, the willingness of residents to participate in water quality improvements through indirect factors (government trust, income level, presence of minors). This study allows an in-depth and detailed understanding of the determinants of residents’ WTP for water quality improvements and provides a practical and relevant guide to water quality improvements in the tropics.

“…Based on the regression model, the adjusted R 2 value (0.3989) indicates that 39.89 % of WTP in the study area can be explained by the combination of the variables included in the model. Although this value could be considered low, it is an acceptable value for contingent valuation analysis (Thapa et al, 2021). In socioeconomic studies, Gupta and Chatterjee (2021) and Irawan (2019) mention that an R 2 value between 0.3 and 0.6 indicates that the proposed model has a satisfactory fit.…”

“…pudiera considerarse bajo, es un valor admitido para análisis de valoración contingente (Thapa et al, 2021) Para el caso de los coeficientes, cuatro de las 10 variables evaluadas presentan correlación positiva con la DAP, mientras que las seis restantes presentan correlación negativa (Cuadro 2). El valor Pr(>|t|), para cada uno de los coeficientes, indica que aquellos que sean menores de 0.05 se consideran significativos dentro del modelo (Desta, 2018); esta condición la cumplen casi todas las variables con excepción del estado civil y género de los encuestados.…”

Introducción: La ciudad de Xalapa, Veracruz, enfrenta un problema de abastecimiento de agua potable que incrementa cada año debido, entre otros factores, a la deforestación y al incremento poblacional.Objetivo: Determinar la disposición a pagar (DAP) de los usuarios de agua de uso doméstico para la conservación de bosques, considerando las zonas de recarga de la subcuenca Pixquiac.Materiales y métodos: Se diseñó y aplicó aleatoriamente una encuesta estructurada a una muestra representativa de 113 hogares en Xalapa. La información se analizó a través de un modelo econométrico que identificó los principales aspectos sociales, económicos y ambientales, relacionados con la DAP por el servicio hidrológico de uso doméstico.Resultados y discusión: El potencial de la DAP anual asciende a 17 243 032.08 MXN por parte de usuarios del servicio de agua potable a nivel doméstico en Xalapa, Veracruz; 92.04 % de la población tiene una DAP mensual promedio de 10.23 MXN para la conservación de las áreas forestales. Este valor se considera alto en relación con otros estudios cuyo promedio de aportación por persona oscila en 5.00 MXN y puede deberse al alto nivel de concientización que existe en la región sobre la importancia de los bosques. El ingreso, la fuente de ingresos, el nivel educativo y la edad son variables significativas que se relacionan positivamente con la DAP.Conclusión: Existe la DAP por parte de los usuarios que puede aprovecharse para incentivar la conservación forestal en las zonas de recarga de agua en el área de estudio

“…The analysis results show that each household or head of family (KK) is willing to spend money for water conservation; as many as 48% of water users want a contribution of IDR 5,000/month, while 24% express WTP IDR 10,000/month, the rest are willingness to pay below IDR 5,000/month and above IDR 10,000/month. Table 3 shows that the highest WTP for the utilization and preservation of water environmental services is the community (Ren et al 2020;Thapa et al 2022), which utilizes Tuk Sipendok and Tuk Babon water sources in Boyolali Regency and Umbul Songo in Semarang Regency Area. The value of WTP in the three sources is IDR 1,694,400,000/year, IDR 545,184,000/year, and IDR 307,200,000/year, respectively.…”

Mount Merbabu National Park (MMNP) is a conservation area that provides environmental services (water) to surrounding villages spread across its area; however, the community has not realized its essential role. The study aims to calculate the economic benefits of water environmental services in MMNP, which the surrounding community utilizes for household needs. Primary data collection was conducted by interviews using structured questionnaires. Samples were determined using the purposive sampling method on 39 MMNP water sources. Data analysis was carried out by calculating public perceptions of water use and assessing willingness to pay for water use for household needs. The study results showed that the economic value of household water is IDR 10,700,681,768 per year, with the value of the willingness to pay the community for water utilization and conservation IDR 4,360,408,000 per year. The total economic benefit of water in the MMNP area is IDR 15,061,089,768 per year. The views and dynamics of water source management on Mount Merbabu are diverse. The water on Mount Merbabu has been a blessing, a source of conflict, a source of life, and can be a tool of political intimidation. It is necessary to make the public aware of water sources, recharge areas, and better water utilization because water has economic value.
