Abstract

Abstract Whether beach nourishment, an established beach management measure, is justified depends on its benefits and costs. We apply a discrete choice experiment at Waikīkī Beach on Oʻahu with mixed logit and latent class models to evaluate recreationists’ willingness to pay for changes in beach width and water clarity as well as the preferences for the beach as-is. Our preferred specification indicates heterogeneity among subjects, who have distinct preferences for the recreation site. Based on the beach attendance data, the aggregate willingness to pay justifies beach re-nourishment and runoff control measures.

什么是(更好的)海滩日?waikk - k - Beach特征变化的经济评估

摘要海滩营养作为一项既定的海滩管理措施，其合理性取决于其效益和成本。我们在奥胡的Waikīkī海滩应用了一个离散选择实验，使用混合logit和潜在类别模型来评估娱乐主义者为海滩宽度和水质变化以及对海滩现状的偏好买单的意愿。我们的首选规范表明了受试者之间的异质性，他们对娱乐场所有不同的偏好。根据海滩出勤率数据，总体支付意愿证明了海滩再营养和径流控制措施的合理性。

期刊介绍： Coastal Management is an international peer-reviewed, applied research journal dedicated to exploring the technical, applied ecological, legal, political, social, and policy issues relating to the use of coastal and ocean resources and environments on a global scale. The journal presents timely information on management tools and techniques as well as recent findings from research and analysis that bear directly on management and policy. Findings must be grounded in the current peer reviewed literature and relevant studies. Articles must contain a clear and relevant management component. Preference is given to studies of interest to an international readership, but case studies are accepted if conclusions are derived from acceptable evaluative methods, reference to comparable cases, and related to peer reviewed studies.
