摘要

该研究优先考虑了流域的五大生态系统服务功能,包括清洁和少淤水、保护和生物多样性、清新环境、旅游和美丽景观。在这些生态系统服务中,新鲜环境的重要性排名第一。我们进行了多次焦点小组讨论、关键信息调查、家庭调查,并进行了统计分析以得出结果。调查对象约120人,其中60人来自上游社区,60人来自下游社区。大多数答复者同意参与保护流域的PES机制。本研究估计了流域保护的平均WTP NRs为114.51/ropani/年/HH, WTA为118.18/ropani/年/HH。采用probit模型确定影响人们支付或接受生态系统服务的因素。被调查者的社会经济特征如性别(女性)、家庭收入、高等教育程度、从事农业和旅游业的人对下游社区的支付意愿有正向影响,而职业(农业和旅游业)和财产规模变量仅与上游社区的接受意愿有正相关关系。研究结果表明,在该流域启动和实施PES机制是可行的,研究结果也可用于设计未来湿地的长期管理计划,以保护湿地。此外,还建议对生态系统服务的货币价值进行研究,以评估人们随着时间和发展而变化的行为。

Assessment of Factors Affecting Willingness To Pay/Accept: A Study From Begnas Watershed, Nepal
This study prioritized five major ecosystem services from the watershed which included clean and silt less water, conservation and biodiversity, fresh environment, tourism, and beautiful landscape. Among these ecosystem services, the fresh environment was ranked first based on respondent’s importance. We conducted multiple focus group discussions, key informant surveys, a household survey, and performed statistical analysis to derive results. About 120 respondents were surveyed, out of which 60 were from upstream and 60 were from the downstream community. The majority of the respondents agreed to participate in the PES mechanism for the conservation of watersheds. The present study has estimated average WTP NRs 114.51/ropani/year/HH and WTA of NRs118.18/ropani/year/HH for conservation of watershed. The probit model was adopted to identify the factors affecting people to pay or accept for ecosystem services. Respondent’s socio-economic characteristics such as gender (female), household income, higher education level, and people involved in agriculture and tourism had a positive impact on willingness to pay in downstream community, while the variables occupation (agriculture and tourism) and property size only had a positive relationship with a willingness to accept in upstream community. Our findings showed the feasibility to initiate and implement the PES mechanism in this watershed and the result of this study could also be used to design a long-term wetland management plan in the future to preserve the wetland. Moreover, time and again studies on the monetary values for ecosystem services are also recommended to assess the varying behavior of the people with time and development.

期刊介绍: IJESD addresses matters related to environment and sustainable development, paying special attention to relevant issues in developing countries while reporting on the latest environmental trends in industrialised nations. Its range of themes encompasses ecological studies, field research, empirical work and descriptive analyses on topics such as environmental systems, environmental policies and politics, environmental legislation, environmental impact assessment, water and energy related issues, and sustainability. Other matters related to or which influence the international debate on sustainability will be also considered. Topics covered include: -Global environmental issues- Agenda 21- Energy, water, recycling, waste management- Environmental reports- Environmental policies and action plans- Environmental systems- Environmental legislation- Environmental impact assessment- Sustainable development approaches and methods.
