Resumen
MIRANDA-TORRES, Adriana et al. Economic valuation of the recreation ecosystem service of the Protected Natural Area, Balandra, Mexico. Estud. soc. Rev. aliment. contemp. desarro. reg. [online]. 2024, vol.34, n.63, e241418. Epub 09-Dic-2024. ISSN 2395-9169. https://doi.org/10.24836/es.v34i63.1418.
Objective:
Estimate preferences and Willingness to Pay (WTP) for improvements in the attributes of the recreation ecosystem service, based on changes in Crowding, Species Abundance, and Water Visibility of the APFF-Balandra.
Methodology:
An analysis of stated preferences consisting of a choice experiment was carried out to estimate the WTP.
Results:
The presence of heterogeneity of preferences for the valued attributes was confirmed, highlighting that most visitors registered an improvement in their well-being due to the 25% increase in the abundance of species recorded in the area.
Limitations:
The study only considered main effects in the design of the choice experiment.
Conclusions:
From the analysis of latent classes, it was concluded the presence of two subgroups that register improvements in their welfare derived from an incremental change in the abundance of species, as well as a marked disutility due to increases in the level of crowding and visibility of the water with respect to the current state.
