“…MORRISON and BROWN (2009) demonstrated that this approach is particularly effective at mitigating hypothetical bias in the Australian context, and hence this was used for this application. It has previously been used in other applications valuing cultural assets (HIDER, 2008).…”

Sense of place and willingness to pay: complementary concepts when evaluating contributions of cultural resources to regional communities, Regional Studies. While the economics literature recognizes the limitations with solely using non-market valuation to understand how cultural resources contribute to their communities, there has been limited use of other approaches. In this study a sense of place scale developed in the environmental psychology literature is used together with contingent valuation to measure the contribution of cultural resources in three regional towns. Using a survey of 354 households, the relationships between visitation of cultural resources, sense of place (place identity and place dependence) and willingness to pay are examined. Visitation to cultural resources is shown to be related to sense of place. In addition, sense of place is demonstrated to be related to willingness to pay. The results imply that the community value of cultural resources is associated with the mix of cultural resources which encourages higher visitation and enhanced sense of place, rather than expenditure on cultural resources alone.Peer reviewe

“…One common method is to present percentage returns on investment in libraries, by estimating cost savings and benefits, performing contingent valuation studies (figuring out how much patrons would be willing to pay out of pocket) or similar methodologies. Contingent valuation studies are practical, and amenable to statistical analysis, but are extremely complex to develop and administer (Hider, 2008;McIntosh, 2013). Additionally, the methods and results are not easily understandable by policy makers, which can put libraries using them at a disadvantage when jockeying for funding against other equally deserving city departments.…”
