Abstract
Ecosystem accounting produces data on ecosystems, their condition, and the services they provide in a consistent and comparable form with the System of National Accounts (SNA). This study focused on accounting of recreational ecosystem services in the context of freshwaters in Finland. We used georeferenced data to measure the extent and condition of ecosystems available for recreation, and representative population data to measure the actual use of the services. In the monetary valuation of the recreational service, we applied the simulated exchange value method, which has been developed for the monetary valuation of non-market ecosystem services in accordance with the SNA. We extend the simulated exchange value method to incorporate the effect of water quality on the number and monetary value of recreational visits.
期刊介绍:
Water Resources and Economics is one of a series of specialist titles launched by the highly-regarded Water Research. For the purpose of sustainable water resources management, understanding the multiple connections and feedback mechanisms between water resources and the economy is crucial. Water Resources and Economics addresses the financial and economic dimensions associated with water resources use and governance, across different economic sectors like agriculture, energy, industry, shipping, recreation and urban and rural water supply, at local, regional and transboundary scale.
Topics of interest include (but are not restricted to) the economics of:
Aquatic ecosystem services-
Blue economy-
Climate change and flood risk management-
Climate smart agriculture-
Coastal management-
Droughts and water scarcity-
Environmental flows-
Eutrophication-
Food, water, energy nexus-
Groundwater management-
Hydropower generation-
Hydrological risks and uncertainties-
Marine resources-
Nature-based solutions-
Resource recovery-
River restoration-
Storm water harvesting-
Transboundary water allocation-
Urban water management-
Wastewater treatment-
Watershed management-
Water health risks-
Water pollution-
Water quality management-
Water security-
Water stress-
Water technology innovation.
