Abstract

To respond actively to issues of climate change and particulate matters, the South Korean authorities have established a plan to electrify all city buses by 2030. This article explores public preferences for city bus electrification in South Korea through the application of contingent valuation (CV). A CV questionnaire was presented to 1000 randomly chosen households along with visual aids to induce their willingness to pay (WTP) for city bus electrification. The payment vehicle and the survey method were selected as bimonthly household income tax and person-to-person interviewing, respectively. As a method of eliciting the WTP, the one-and-one-half-bound dichotomous choice technique was utilized. To analyze the WTP data with numerous zeros, the spike model was employed. The results revealed statistically significant findings. The mean household WTP was obtained as KRW 5195 (USD 4.0) every two months. Expanding this figure to encompass the entire national population results in an annual national total of KRW 680.6 billion (USD 524.7 million). The cost involved in the electrification amounts to KRW 625.0 billion (USD 481.9 million) every year. Therefore, the national WTP outweighs the cost. City bus electrification can be socially justifiable. Furthermore, some policy issues regarding the success of city bus electrification are discussed.
韩国城市公交车电气化:通过条件估值实验确定的公众偏好
为了积极应对气候变化和颗粒物问题,韩国政府制定了到2030年实现所有城市公交车电动化的计划。本文通过应用条件评估(CV)探讨了韩国公众对城市公交车电气化的偏好。随机抽取1000户家庭,向他们发放简历问卷,并配有视觉辅助工具,以诱导他们为城市公交车电气化付费的意愿。支付手段和调查方法分别为每两个月一次的家庭所得税和面对面访谈。作为一种提取WTP的方法,采用了一界和半界二分类选择技术。为了分析含有大量零的WTP数据,采用了尖峰模型。结果显示了统计学上显著的发现。平均每两个月家庭WTP为5195韩元(4.0美元)。如果将这一数字扩大到全国人口,全国每年的总金额将达到6806亿韩元(5.247亿美元)。每年的电气化费用为6250亿韩元(约4.819亿美元)。因此,国家WTP比成本更重要。城市公交车电气化在社会上是合理的。在此基础上,对影响城市公交电气化成功的政策问题进行了探讨。
