摘要

湿地是重要生态系统的来源,为人类社会提供了基本和极其宝贵的维持生命的功能。人口的快速增长以及随之而来的对土地、水体和森林的开发已经严重影响了湿地资源。湿地是非市场商品,因为它们没有市场价值。因此,对这些资源进行经济评价以确定其重要性是十分重要的。因此,本研究旨在确定游客对由Kalar Kahar、Uchali、Jhalar、Khabeki和Namal湖泊组成的盐岭湿地的经济价值支付意愿。采用定性的方法,通过问卷调查的方式从受访者中收集相关信息。应用支付意愿(WTP)技术分析发现,85.34%的游客因其自然属性而同意游览这些湖泊。Kalar Kahar湖的平均WTP为PKR。1808年,在乌恰里湖是PKR.1820,而在纳马尔湖是PKR。1848. 结果表明,由于湖泊平均WTP存在摩擦差异,各湖泊对游客具有同等的重要性和经济价值。建议为子孙后代保护这些湖泊,通过开展生态旅游,为相关利益相关者维持长期的经济效益。

47 c Assessment of Willingness to Pay for Sustainable Ecotourism Development in the Salt Range Wetlands, Punjab Pakistan
Wetlands are the source of vital ecosystems which provide human societies with essential and extremely valuable life-supporting functions. The rapid population growth and resultant exploitation of lands, water bodies, and forests have badly influenced wetland resources. Wetlands are non-market goods as they do not have market value. So, it is important to evaluate these resources economically to identify their significance. Therefore, this study aims to identify the visitors’ willingness to pay for the economic valuation of Salt Range wetlands comprised of Kalar Kahar, Uchali, Jhalar, Khabeki, and Namal Lakes. A qualitative method was used to gather relevant information from the respondents by using a questionnaire. By applying the willingness to pay (WTP) technique it was found that about 85.34% of tourists were agreed to visit these lakes because of their naturalness. Similarly, the mean WTP in Kalar Kahar lake was PKR. 1808, in Uchali lakes was PKR.1820 while in Namal lake it was PKR. 1848. It is concluded that all the lakes are equally important and economically valuable for the tourists as there was a frictional difference in mean WTP. It is suggested that these lakes should be conserved for future generations to sustain the long-term economic benefits for the concerned stakeholders through the initiation of ecotourism.
