摘要：While the importance of islands has recently emphasized in regards to the upholding of marine sovereignty, there is no research which evaluates the proper value of islands. Thus, this study was conducted to evaluate the non-market values of islands, as well as the estimated interest by the public in Korean islands with fewer than 10 residents, using CVM. To estimate the non-market value, a survey was conducted on 500 respondents randomly selected from the Korean population. They were asked to tell how much they would pay to buy an island. The median value of the responses was 2,011. It was evaluated to be 40.182 billion Won. 74% of respondents said they would pay the offered price, and, among the reasons for willing to pay the price, 41.9% or the largest proportion of respondents, noted that ‘even if it is unclear how to make use of the island in the future, it needs to be preserved’. The findings of this study which quantified the values of islands with fewer than 10 residents, can be used as objective data to secure the project to prevent those islands from being uninhabited. The findings of this study will be useful quantitative information for decision-making on policies regarding islands with fewer than 10 residents. In particular, this study expects that, by suggesting public interest in these islands, the findings of this study can be used to strengthen national awareness on the importance of islands with fewer than 10 residents.
