标题:THE INFLUENCE OF SPATIAL LAND USE PATTERNS ON RURAL AMENITY VALUES AND WILLINGNESS TO PAY FOR GROWTH MANAGEMENT: EVIDENCE FROM A CONTINGENT CHOICE SURVEY
摘要:This paper reports on a contingent choice study in which residents of a rural Rhode Islandcommunity were asked to express their preferences for packages of growth managementoutcomes, where surveys presented both spatial and non-spatial attributes of growth managementoutcomes. Survey results provide insight on the extent to which estimated willingness to pay(WTP) for marginal changes in specific landscape features or land uses may be influenced byspatial considerations. Results also characterize the potential impact of spatial context on publicpreferences and WTP for coordinated packages of growth management outcomes.
