“…In line with studies conducted by Stone, Bhat, Bhatta, and Mathews (2008) and Tuan, My, Anh, and Toan (2014), the current findings also indicated a relationship between a respondent's WTP and the bid levels offered, where a higher bid bid amount decreased WTP for mangrove restoration. Aside from occupation, most of the socioeconomic characteristics of respondents in this study did not significantly influence the WTP of respondents.…”

“…Aside from occupation, most of the socioeconomic characteristics of respondents in this study did not significantly influence the WTP of respondents. The results of Tuan, My, Anh, and Toan (2014) showed a similar trend, but only household size influenced the WTP of respondents in their study.…”

“…Previous studies have also examined the value of WTP for mangrove restoration. Utilizing the single-bound model, Tuan, My, Anh, and Toan (2014) estimated the WTP for mangrove restoration in Thi Nai Lagoon, Vietnam within the context of climate change. Stone, Bhat, Bhatta, and Mathews (2008) also investigated factors that influenced households' WTP for mangrove restoration among three subsistence groups on the west coast of India.…”

Mangroves provide multiple benefits for local communities' livelihoods. However, in the Mahakam delta mangroves have declined considerably. This study examines the factors affecting households' willingness to pay (WTP) for mangrove restoration in three villages in the Mahakam delta and determines whether a mangrove restoration project would be viable and should be implemented in the study area or not. The contingent valuation method was applied through a double-bound dichotomous choice format to estimate the WTP for mangrove restoration. The results showed that over 80% of perception of respondents considered the benefits of mangroves were essential that associated with their livelihoods. Local residents tended to be willing to pay more for mangrove restoration when they acknowledged the benefits of mangroves and when they felt that the sustainability of mangrove ecosystems was their responsibility. The benefits transfer method was also used to estimate the costs and benefits of an ongoing mangrove restoration project in the study area. The benefits provided by mangroves, as estimated based on households' WTP, clearly outweighed the costs for the mangrove restoration project. We conclude that mangrove restoration should be implemented in the study area by increasing local communities' awareness and responsibility to protect and manage the mangrove a sustainable.

“…This finding is essential in this study because it shows that if households' responsibility is enhanced, they will provide more value for restoring mangrove ecosystems. Similar to the results by Tuan et al [34], local community's awareness and responsibility for the impact of climate change provided significant implications toward their willingness to participate in mangrove restoration. Furthermore, knowledge about mangrove functions may increase local community interest in participating in mangrove restoration.…”

“…The marginal effect also shows that when a household that decides to plant of mangrove seedlings increases by one family member, the probability of a household's WTCL time and expected WRT increases by 23% and 33%, respectively. Interestingly, WTP results reported by Susilo et al [34] shows that a household who selects planting of mangrove seedlings tends to be less willing to pay for mangrove restoration, or in other words, respondents who selected other participation types such as the monitoring of plant progress and the protection of the mangrove area are more willing to pay. Thus, this WTCL result confirms that a household prefers to donate time to contribute labor than to pay.…”

The Opportunity Cost of Labor for Valuing Mangrove Restoration in Mahakam Delta, Indonesia

Abstract:Worldwide, damage to mangroves is alarming. Restoration is required to recover mangrove ecosystems, and communities' involvement is a primary factor to reduce the threat to mangroves. Their participation might be interpreted as the appropriate decision concerning conservation and utilization of mangroves. Using a contingent valuation approach, this study assesses mangroves' values to local communities through their willingness to contribute labor to obtain monetary value. Results showed that the opportunity cost of time was valued at IDR 398.76 thousand (US$29.99) a month or IDR 4.79 million (US$359.90) per year. A total annual benefit of mangrove restoration using the wage rate of time (WRT) is IDR 143 billion (US$10.77 million) per year. Accessing such information is crucial to making the appropriate decisions about conservation of mangroves within the context of developing countries that have poor coastal communities and low incomes. Tobit regression determined that five variables affect willingness to provide labor time and WRT significantly for mangrove restoration. These findings can support decision-makers with the relevant information for assessing a mangrove restoration project.
