CVM을 이용한 어촌어메니티 자원의 가치 평가

Abstract

This research aims to estimate willingness-to-pay(WTP) for conserving coastal amenities of Jangho fishing village, Samcheok city, Gangwon Province using contingent valuation method(CVM). Non-parametric approach is adopted because it does not need probability distribution assumption so that there are no needs to assume or test goodness of fit, model specification and hetero- scedasticity statistically. The research is undertaken mainly based on double-bounded dichotomous choice questionnaire survey of 215 respondents in Samcheok city where Jangho fishing village is located. The samples are designed by stratified random sampling method and collected by personal interview method. The question is about how much has the respondents willingness to pay for preserving and maintaining natural and coastal amenities of the village. The mean WTP is estimated to be 29,057 won while median WTP being 4,712 won. Provided that our sample is broadly representative of Samcheok's population, an estimate of the annual aggregated benefit of coastal amenities is approximately 1,060,000,000 won in case of mean WTP or 170,000,000 won in case of median WTP.
