“…A number of non-market valuation methods, including Revealed Preference (RP) and State Preference (SP) methods, have been developed [9,13]. Studies using these non-market valuation methods have assessed global and regional ES and their contribution to human well-being [1,7,[14][15][16][17]. Compared to the RP methods (e.g., production-oriented valuation, replace cost method, hedonic prices method), the SP methods use hypothetical scenarios involving ES to elicit individuals' responses to ES improvements and observe their behavior of interest [9,18].…”

Abstract:As the only surface water source for Beijing, the Miyun Reservoir and its catchment (MRC) are a focus for concern about the degradation of ecosystem services (ES) unless appropriate payments for ecosystem services (PES) are in place. This study used the contingent valuation method (CVM) to estimate the costs of two new PES programs, for agriculture and forestry, and to further calculate the economic value of ES in the MRC from the perspective of local rural households' willingness to accept (WTA). The results of Logit model including WTA and the variables of household and village indicate that the local socio-economic context has complex effects on the WTA of rural households. In particular, the bid amount, location and proportion of off-farm employment would have significant positive effects on the local WTA. In contrast, the insignificance of the PES participation variable suggests that previous PES program experiences may negatively impact subsequent program participation. The mean WTA payments for agriculture and forestry PES programs were estimated as 8531 and 8187 yuan/ha/year, respectively. These results consistently explain the differentiated opportunity costs on both farmland and forestry land. Meanwhile, the differentiated WTA values in Beijing vs. the surrounding Hebei Province follow the interest differences and development gaps between jurisdictions. Finally, the total economic value of ES in the MRC area was estimated at 11.1 billion yuan/year). The rational economic value of ES for the restoration priority areas reaches 515.2 million yuan/year. For the existing budget gap (299 million yuan/year), the study proposed that decision makers increase the water tariff by 0.08 yuan to raise the funds needed. The study also concluded that these results are not only financially and politically feasible but also cost-effective. This study has policy implications for improving the implementation efficiency and providing quantified supports for PES programs in megacity source water area.

“…Nilai ini ditentukan oleh bersedia atau tidaknya wisatawan mempertimbangan untung rugi (trade-offs) dan sanggup membayar harga komoditas lingkungan berupa aspek sumber daya alam, termasuk keindahan, keberadaan, serta upaya konservasi dan pemeliharaannya. Metode WTP juga memberikan pertimbangan menentukan kebijakan dan tujuannya untuk pengelolaan sumber daya alam berkelanjutan di kawasan lindung, misalnya di negara berkembang (Banapon, 2008;Bernard et al, 2009;Cheung & Jim, 2014;Hizami et al, 2014;Kamri, 2013;Khan, 2006;Kolahi et al, 2013;Nuva, et al, 2009;Samdin, 2008;Sekar et al, 2013 (WWF-NT, 2001).

Mount Rinjani National Park (MNRP) in the West Nusa Tenggara Province, popular as one of ectourism destinations for both international and domestic tourist. The number of tourist increases every year. However, MRNP was facing various problems including forest destruction which then becomes critical degraded lands ABSTRAKTaman Nasional Gunung Rinjani (TNGR) di Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Barat adalah tujuan ekowisata yang populer bagi wisatawan mancanegara dan nusantara. Jumlah pengunjung tercatat meningkat setiap tahunnya. Saat ini, TNGR menghadapi berbagai permasalahan hutan yang rusak dan menjadi lahan kritis, serta sumberdaya air yang menurun akibat kurangnya kesadaran dan kepedulian akan nilai lingkungan dan sumber daya alam ekowisata TNGR. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kesediaan wisatawan untuk membayar atau willingness to pay (WTP) bagi ekowisata dan mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor yang memengaruhinya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode contingent valuation method (CVM) untuk menentukan nilai WTP ekowisata, serta regresi untuk menentukan faktor apa saja yang memengaruhi nilai WTP ekowisata tersebut. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rataan WTP responden wisatawan mancanegara US $54,13, dengan nilai ekonomi lingkungan ekowisata dan perkiraan pendapatan dari tiket masuk US $1.208.790/ tahun atau Rp14,50 milyar/tahun. Sementara itu rataan WTP responden wisatawan nusantara Rp40.650, dan nilai ekonomi lingkungan ekowisata serta perkiraan

Forest conversion and provision of ecosystem services in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

The importance of quantifying existing ecosystem services, assessing the impacts of various land use decisions and ultimately evaluating the overall costs and benefits of different land use patterns having internalized ecosystem services, is now widely recognized and such work is at the forefront of current landscape management planning. We aim to quantify ecosystem services derived from different land uses within the Atibainha Reservoir catchment in Brazil, determine the spatial distribution of ecosystem services and quantify the impacts of land use changes on the provision of ecosystem services. Four ecosystem services were considered: carbon sequestration, mitigation of sediment delivery into the reservoir, purification of water and maintenance of soil fertility. Results indicate strong increase in the provision of ecosystem services among the main land uses in the following order: urban area/bare soil; pastures; plantation of eucalyptus and native forests. The most important services provided by native forests, when compared with bare soil, were carbon sequestration and prevention of sedimentation, with an additional 864 569 tons of carbon stored in forest biomass in 30 years, and prevention of 244 511 tons of sediment delivery into the reservoir per year, respectively, from 7624 ha of lands around the reservoir. Spatial variation in the provision of ecosystem services were mapped to develop a tool to support decision making at the landscape scale. Results and maps from the decision support tool can support policies that ensure effective land-use planning and can serve as the basis for the development of payment for ecosystem service schemes in the region.
