Abstract
ABSTRACT
The range of benefits for humans and biodiversity conservation provided by urban green spaces (UGS) receives substantial attention in relation to urban planning and management. However, little is known about the value of nature in UGS. We developed a graphical measurement scale for the naturalness of UGS, with 5 steps between largely sealed and largely wilderness, which was embedded in an online survey and a discrete choice experiment. Using mixed logit models, we find that German citizens have a mean willingness to pay of €20.25 per month for an increase in the naturalness of the closest UGS by one step.
期刊介绍：
Land Economics is dedicated to the study of land use, natural resources, public utilities, housing, and urban land issues. Established in 1925 by the renowned economist and founder of the American Economic Association, Richard T. Ely at the University of Wisconsin, Land Economics has consistently published innovative, conceptual, and empirical research of direct relevance to economists. Each issue brings the latest results in international applied research on such topics as transportation, energy, urban and rural land use, housing, environmental quality, public utilities, and natural resources.
