Rong Por community forest was declared to be included in the Doi Luang National Park since 1981, according to the Parliament, Act of 1961. It is the cause of conflict of interest related to government projects and possessory right of land ownership because the houses were in the Doi Luang National Park area. Moreover, the local people were accused of the invasion of forest lands from government officials cause people locals to express themselves as precedent residents the announcement of a national park clearly expressed was not invading.  Therefore, the purposes of this research aimed to study on willingness to pay for conservation of the Rong Por’s community forest and to analyze the factors affecting the willingness to pay for conservation of Rong Por’s community forest located in Dongjen Sub-District, Phukamyao District, Phayao Province, Thailand. The primary data were collected by a questionnaire, a total of 400 sample sizes. The logistic regression with Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) was theoretically employed to analyze what factors affecting the values of willingness to pay. The empirical results showed that the respondents are unwilling to pay for conservation because they were confirmed that they were not intruders. Moreover, the analysis from Logistic Regression depicted that the factors affecting the willingness to pay for forest conservation are more benefits to this research and can be used as the guidelines for the policy-maker in the local area to conserve the Rong Por’s community forest.

Bio-slurry is the residual product of biogas processing waste through the decomposition process without oxygen (anaerobic). Bio-slurry can be used as organic fertilizer for agricultural land. This study aims to: 1) assess the value of willingness to pay (WTP) for bio-slurry fertilizer, 2) find factors affecting farmer’s willingness to pay (WTP) of bio-slurry fertilizer. The research was carried out from January to February 2020 in Central Java. Determination of the location is purposive based on the farmers in Magelang and Demak Regency that have utilized biogas waste to be organic fertilizer and had been commercialized. Primary data were obtained from 80 farmers using purposive sampling, with the aid of questionnaire. Data analysis using contingent value method (CVM) to evaluate the farmer’s willingness to pay and logistic regression to analyze its determinant factors. The result showed that farmer’s willingness to pay (WTP) rate of bio-slurry fertilizer was IDR. 937,5/kg, which was above the market price. The determinant factors are farm income, education, price, and experience using organic fertilizer positively related to farmers’ willingness to pay bio-slurry fertilizer whereas land area negatively related to farmers’ willingness to pay bio-slurry fertilizer. The value of willingness to pay show the opportunity for bio-slurry fertilizer to survive in market by taking into account continuity of production and quality.

Extant literature suggests that microcredit may improve borrowers’ social and economic welfare. This study aimed to investigate the microcredit accessibility of rural households in Indonesia. Binary Logistic regression was used to distinguish the characteristics of microcredit borrowers and non-borrowers, and the factors affecting the approval of microcredit application. Primary data was collected through a survey on 488 rural households in Bantul, Yogyakarta. The empirical results suggested that age, marital status and education attainment significantly affect the characteristics of clients and non-clients of microcredit. The results also revealed that age of borrowers, household income, interest rates, and loan duration are key determinants affecting microcredit accessibility. The implications of the findings were provided.

The high risk of losing fishermen's life while at sea is inversely proportional to their low welfare. Fishermen are also unable to meet their daily needs when they are not going to sea. Fishermen welfare insurance can be a solution for them to meet their daily needs. Willingness to Pay (WTP) of fishermen to participate in fishermen welfare insurance can be analyzed using Logistic Regression with Newton Raphson and Genetic Algorithm approximations. Some of the main factors that can support their WTP to participate in fishermen welfare insurance, are fishermen education, membership in the fishing community, membership in fisherman business cards, and knowledge about the existence of fishermen insurance. From these four factors, Logistic Regression Model is generated which is expected to help the increase of fishermen’s WTP on fishermen insurance in Indonesia.

The behaviour of snakes makes them vulnerable to road mortality, which may have conservation implications for some species. We examined factors affecting road mortality of snakes around Grasslands National Park of Canada (GNP), Saskatchewan, an area inhabited by a unique snake community within Canada, including the threatened Eastern Yellow-bellied Racer (Coluber constrictor flaviventris). Systematic surveys (n = 45) of roads in the Grasslands National Park area in 2009 yielded 36 dead and 18 live snakes. Multivariate modelling revealed that proximity to hibernacula was positively correlated with presence of snakes on roads. Paved roads had disproportionately higher numbers of snake mortalities, suggesting that traffic patterns are a bigger risk factor than road use per se. Some radio-tracked Eastern Yellow-bellied Racers (2 of 17; 12%) and Bullsnakes (Pituophis catenifer sayi) (4 of 5; 80%) captured at emergence from hibernacula had road areas in their home ranges. These individuals equipped with radio-transmitters used roads and immediately adjacent areas significantly more than expected, based on their availability, suggesting possible selection for roads. Strategies to reduce road mortality of snakes should focus on key stretches of roads, such as those near winter hibernacula or riparian zones. The placement of paved roads in sensitive areas like those in and around Grasslands National Park should be carefully considered to minimize snake mortality.

The work presents the peculiarities of the activity of the beech martens of «Kachaghakaberd» National Park in the territories of Martakert, Askeran, Shahumyan and Kashatagh regions of Artsakh in 2002-2020. The observations carried out by us showed that there are no marked deviations within the area. However, deviations are recorded at different times of the day and in different seasons of the year. Studies show that the breech martens are mostly active during dusk and night; however they may also be active during the mornings and throughout the day. Higher activity is observed during daylight hours in spring, which is due to the spring mating of animals and in winter, which, in our opinion, is due to the compensation of low activity because of the night frosts. Changes in the nature of the activity of these beasts are conditioned by large predators, climatic and anthropogenic factors. As a result of the observations we found out that in summer at the temperature of +33 - +35°C and in winter at the temperature of -15 - -22°C their activity is lost. In summer they are more frequently encountered when the temperature is +23 - +25°C, meanwhile in winter, they are encountered if the temperature is not below -8 - -13°C. One of the factors affecting the activity of Breech martens is the stress, resulted from the economic activities, that sometimes causes extinction.

This study estimated tourists’ willingness to pay (WTP) for tourist sites or facilities in the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic by applying the dichotomous choice-contingent valuation method to two different tourism destination types. A survey was conducted among domestic tourists in South Korea who had visited destinations within the last six months. We conducted a logistic regression with 1283 effective samples. The results showed differences in tourists’ WTP, depending on type, and the factors affecting WTP differed. Tourists with higher tourism attitude and knowledge of tourism risk exhibited a higher WTP. Tourists with higher perceived risk of infectious disease exhibited less WTP.
