Abstract
During the 2016-2017 academic year, 3rd grade Gymnasium students from the Hellenic College of Thessaloniki received experiential training for the subject of Technology. For the needs of the course, students conducted research regarding the economic assessment of industrial pollution. A questionnaire was designed and distributed in order for students to collect information from individuals and households in the vicinity which the project of interest could potentially affect. The questionnaire aimed at identifying the maximum willingness to make a financial contribution with the use of assessing Hypothetical Scenario Methodology, which precisely assesses the economic value of an environmental good, since value is directly linked to the respondents’ expressed preferences.
