The willingness of inhabitants in medium-sized city and the city’s surroundings settlements to pay for recreation in urban forests in Poland

Abstract: The aim of the study was to determine the willingness-to-pay (WTP) in exchange for recreation, to determine the dependency between the frequency of visits and willingness of forest users to make contributions for urban forests and the appearance of the forest, as well as the sociological characteristics of the respondents.

“…Even though these objects are mostly small green spaces, their significance to the population is very high [26][27][28][29][30] especially in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic [19]. The willingness to pay by young adults for urban forestry itself is variable and depends on many factors, including, for example, the structure of the forest and small architecture, etc., [23,[31][32][33][34][35]. Determining the accuracy and reliability of the hypothetical WTP amounts reported is also significant.…”

“…This is in comparison to 76% in UK urban recreational parks [38], and in the territory of Finnish Joensuu, urban forests varied from 62% to 84% [39] (depending on question options). Higher WTP was found in Tarnów city's urban forests in Poland-97% [40]. The city's green spaces are attractive for residents' recreation [41].…”

“…The novelty of the presented research is the fact that our study area has not been investigated in this context before. Existing Polish research, even when dedicated to recreation, is not focused on forests in urban environments [47][48][49][50][51]. None of this research presents the same evaluation criteria catalog or the same scoring scheme, as we do.…”
