The study was conducted primarily to 1) identify the socio-economic and the knowledge, attitude and perception (KAP) factors that affect the WTP of the households; 2) determine the socio-economic factors affecting the KAP of households; and 3) determine the mean willingness to pay (WTP) of households of four barangays of Lemery, Batangas: Mataasna Bayan and Sinisian East as on-site barangays and Balanga and Sinisian West as off-site barangays of the Marine Protected Area (MPA). A total of 316 respondents were surveyed following the contingent valuation method (CVM). Results showed that the mean WTP of the respondents amounts to PhP 46.47 per month. Among factors influencing their WTP are KAP variables such as knowledge on MPA, knowledge on MPA as fish habitat, perception on the need of MPA protection led by the Barangay, perception if there is anything to be changed in MPA management, and socio-economic variables like gender, income-expenses ratio and distance from the MPA. Using the mean WTP, the computed social benefit derived by the on-site and off-site MPA communities from coral reef conservation-based from their WTP amounted to PhP 999,215.734 per year.

Exploratory Analysis

En los últimos años, la preocupación por conservar la biodiversidad – e indirectamente los servicios ecosistémicos asociados que proporcionan bienestar humano – ha ganado gran importancia a nivel mundial, principalmente por los efectos negativos del cambio climático, la degradación de recursos naturales y los altos índices de contaminación. En ese contexto, se reconoce que la conservación es un tema complejo, pero socialmente deseable que involucra variables biofísicas, socioeconómicas y políticas. De esta manera, el objetivo del presente estudio es analizar las preferencias de la sociedad peruana, respecto a los atributos de la biodiversidad en el Parque Nacional del Manu y su relación con la disposición a pagar (DAP) para su conservación. La metodología de valoración económica empleada, es la de preferencias declaradas a través del modelo choice experiments. Los atributos de biodiversidad considerados, fueron: especies de flora, especies de fauna, cobertura forestal y contribución económica mensual, en un horizonte temporal de 1 año. Los resultados indican que la DAP para conservación de biodiversidad de un peruano asciende a S/. 4 / mes, en promedio, especialmente por la conservación de especies de fauna.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore the barriers to sustainable tourism management (STM) implementation in a protected area (PA) of a developing country, India, by taking a case study of National Chambal Sanctuary (NCS).Design/methodology/approachThis study develops a framework to analyse the interaction among a set of barriers of STM using the interpretive structural modelling approach.FindingsIn this study, 16 relevant barriers responsible for the failure of STM in Indian scenario have been selected. The lack of coordination among various stakeholders and the lack of government incentives are found as the most significant barriers among the selected barriers of STM implementation in the sanctuary.Research limitations/implicationsThis study provides most influencing barriers and how these barriers hinder the sustainability efforts in NCS. The study’s main limitation is its generalisation. The problems in implementing sustainable practices may differ with the region.Practical implicationsThis study provides strong practical inferences to both practitioners as well as academicians. The practitioners are suggested to focus on identified barriers and formulating strategies to achieve sustainability in the tourism sector. Academicians may propose the solutions and necessary interventions for identified barriers.Originality/valueIdentification and presentation of barriers to STM implementation in the context of a PA are rare to find in literature.

Abstract. Truong DD. 2021. Estimating residents' willingness to pay for wetland conservation using contingent valuation: the case of Van Long Ramsar Protected Area, Vietnam. Biodiversitas 22: 4784-4793. Willingness to pay (WTP) for wetland conservation is an important basis for designing market-based wetland protection strategies and sustainable wetland management. The main objective of this study is to estimate villagers' WTP for wetland conservation in Van Long Wetland Protected Area, Vietnam, and analyze factors influencing WTP. A questionnaire survey based on the dichotomous contingent valuation method (CVM) was conducted at seven communes surrounding Van Long Ramsar Protected Area (VLPA). The results showed that the local people in the studied area appreciate the roles of the wetland in preserving landscape values, supporting livelihoods, and transmitting values ??to future generations. The value of biodiversity conservation and the value of water filtration and regulation are perceived to a lesser extent in terms of the importance of conservation. Of the 384 respondents, 96% are WTP for wetland conservation at different levels. With the parametric model, the average value of WTP ranges from 300,000 to VND 328,000 VND /family/year. In the non-parametric model, the average of WTP is from 338,000 to 359,000 VND/family/year. The probability of environmental response' that willing to pay for conservation is closely related to their awareness, family income and payment amount. The results also showed optimistic points that the local people are willing to contribute to improving wetland quality. In a general sense, the results of this study make good contributions to the literature related to WTP for wetland conservation in developing countries.
