“…Our results suggested that men had a higher probability of paying than woman (Table 9). This was in disagreement with results from the CV literature, which shows that men have a lower awareness of environmental threats than women, because women are more sensitive to beach preservation than men (Marzetti et al, 2016;Stern et al, 1993). The age variable had a positive coefficient (Table 9) that was statistically significant across Italian samples, which means that in this particular sample the older visitors were relatively more acceptable to pay the BID offered than the younger ones, similar to results obtained by Piriyapada and Wang (2014).…”

“…Furthermore, the mean WTP of 14.84 € calculated in our study for a beach-goer is a high value with respect to those previously reported (Table 1 in Rodella et al, 2019). Indeed, the mean value is higher (double in some cases) than those reported in previous surveys for Mediterranean beaches (Birdir et al, 2013;Marzetti et al, 2016). With regards to the method, a clarification must be made on respondents who have not answered to the WTP question.…”

“…Those methods are the only possible ways to estimate non market values from an ex ante perspective. In a coastal management approach, CV is used to analyzed the appreciation of recreational sites (Birdir et al, 2013;Lozoya et al, 2014;Logar and Van den Bergh, 2012;Pearce et al, 2006;Peng and Oleson, 2017) and users' interest on beach preservation (Marzetti et al, 2016). CV uses a direct questionnaire approach to elicit from potential users their maximum WTP for specified improvements in environmental quality.…”

Coastal management is "that process of managing a beach, whether by monitoring, simple intervention, recycling, recharge, the construction and maintenance of coastal control structures or by some combination of these techniques, in a way that reflects an acceptable compromise in the light of available finance, between the various coastal defence, nature conservation, public amenity and industrial objectives" (Micallef and Williams, 2002;Simm et al., 1996). This definition seems to consider the entire spectrum of coastal conflict in that it addresses social, economic and environmental aspects of beaches as socio-ecological systems (SES) (e.g. Defeo and McLachlan, 2005;Botero and Hurtado, 2009). This approach considered beaches as multidimensional systems linked with and affected by one or more social systems where natural, socio-economic and administrative components interact (Micallef, 1996;Micallef and Williams, 2002;Williams and Davies, 1999). Approaches to the management of beach as SES have traditionally focused on a very limited number of functions, such as beaches as summer playgrounds and buffer spaces for storms (James, 2000;Lozoya et al., 2014;Ariza et al., 2016). However, from the last century, beaches were expressly defined as SES especially due to new methodologies for capturing beach complexity in order to provide information Willingness to pay for management and preservation of natural, semi-urban and urban beaches in Italy Ilaria Rodella a, *

“…Several of them focus on coastal erosion providing useful findings for decisionmakers, not necessarily considering adaptation to climate change (e.g. Marsh 2017a, 2017b;Marzetti et al 2016). Studies that address adaptation to climate change, the focus of our analysis, also mostly refer to local study sites and focus on either single (e.g.…”

Preferences for coastal adaptation to climate change: evidence from a choice experiment

Climate change adaptation is essential for coastal areas. This paper adds to the limited evidence on the trade-offs people are willing to make concerning coastal adaptation strategies along an entire coast of a state (Baltic Sea coast of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania). The trade-offs are conceptualised in a choice experiment in terms of six attributes: the extent of beach nourishment, dyke heightening, cliff protection, access to dunes, realignment of dykes and dunes, and cost in terms of a coastal protection levy. The attributes were selected and designed in close cooperation, among others, with governmental decision-makers. Accounting for preference heterogeneity, we identified three latent groups among the participants of a nationwide online survey in Germany. Respondents who prefer extensive changes, respondents who are willing to pay only for an increase in dyke height, and respondents who are unwilling to cover additional expenses for adaptation. The aggregated welfare measures indicate that an adaptation scenario Recreation ranks highest followed by Safety and Nature. However, the scenarios do not represent unequivocal alternatives and provide essential insights into peoples' preferences not only to policymakers and the administration in the case study region.

Environmental perceptions and willingness to pay for preservation: Evidence from beach destinations in China

Beaches are regarded as a core resource in coastal tourism. However, they are being eroded by environmental pollution, which has negative impacts on visitors' tourism experiences. This study proposed a framework to elaborate the effects of visitors' environmental perceptions on satisfaction and willingness to pay for environmental protection. The findings revealed that visitors' perceptions of a beach's quality had significant positive effects on their satisfaction. Furthermore, satisfaction significantly increased visitors' willingness to pay for environmental protection. In addition, visitors' perceptions of the beach environment had a direct and positive impact on their willingness to pay for environmental protection.
