Abstract
In grassland areas subject to pollution caused by coal mining such as the Ejin Horo Banner in Inner Mongolia, a reasonable compensation scenario for local herders should be considered. Willingness to Pay (WTP) was assessed with the use of contingent valuation (CV) methodology to estimate the value for environmental losses. The results indicated that: 1. The local environmental problem included dust, noise, water pollution and mine subsidence. 2. 77.61% of herders were extremely not satisfied with the compensation and 56.52% of herders disagreed mining in grassland. 3. The WTP has been estimated at 556.55 yuan annually per household. The total WTP in the coal mining area of Ejin Horo was estimated to be between 16337786.4 yuan and 48426292.7 yuan. Keywords—coal mining; contingent valuation; ecological compensation; grassland pollution
