Abstract

To detail a picture of the economic value of Miscanthus landscape conservation in terms of cultural services aspects of Ecosystem Services, Sunghaksan(Mt.), Hwawangsan(Mt.) and Jaeyaksan(Mt.), which are known for their Miscanthus colonies, were chosen as survey sites. After examining the willingness to pay for the value of Miscanthus landscape conservation by targeting of visitors each study area, the economic value of Miscanthus landscape conservation per capita aspects was evaluated using Contingent Valuation Methods(CVM) from the collected willingness to pay for economic value of Miscanthus scenery by site. After using the target Chi-square test to analyze the differences among each site, the correlation between specific variables was investigated. Willingness to pay for the Miscanthus landscape conservation was found to increase as the respondents' income became higher. The more environmental conservation efforts were being made in their daily life, the higher willingness to pay was for Miscanthus landscape conservation. Likewise in other studies, the higher the bid was, the less willingness to pay was. The per capita assessment of the Miscanthus landscape value of the logit models in the dual estimated using the factor extracted with each of the injected variable bounds was estimated for Seunghaksan (\38,277), Hwawangsan(\38,648), and Jaeyaksan(\48,891). The average of the three sites was estimated to be \38,679. Assessment of the economic value of these Miscanthus landscape sites saw high willingness to pay by visitors when compared to the current market price inflation, such as watching movies or amusement park admission, which could mean that visitors recognize the value of ecosystem services from nature in evaluating the Miscanthus landscape.

생태계서비스중 문화서비스 측면에서 억새경관 보전 가치를 경제적으로 추정하기 위해 부산 도심지에 위치한 승학산과 경남지역 억새명산으로 유명한 화왕산 및 재약산을 조사 대상지로 선정하였다. 각 대상지의 탐방객들을 대상으로 억새경관보전가치에 대한 지불의사액을 설문조사한 후, 수집된 지불의사액(Willingness To Pay)으로부터 조건부가치측정법(CVM)을 이용해 각 대상지의 1인당 억새경관의 경제적 가치를 평가하였으며, 카이제곱검정으로 대상지간 차이를 분석한 후, 변수별 상관관계도 알아보았다. 억새경관보전에 대한 지불의사액은 응답자의 소득이 높을수록 높게 나타났으며, 일상생활에서 환경보전노력을 많이 할수록 높게 나타났다. 제시액이 높을수록 "예"의 응답은 낮아짐을 알 수 있었다. 각각의 투입된 변수로 추출된 계수를 이용하여 추정한 1인당 억새경관가치에 대한 평가는 승학산(38,277원), 화왕산(38,648원), 재약산(48,891원)으로 추정되었으며, 전체 평균 지불의사액은 38,679원으로 추정되었다. 이러한 억새경관의 경제적 가치는 영화 관람비나 놀이 공원입장료 등의 현 시세 물가와 비교하였을 때 탐방객들의 지불의사가 비교적 높다고 볼 수 있는데, 이는 탐방객들이 억새경관에 대해 자연이 제공하는 생태계서비스중 문화서비스(cultural services)의 측면에서 자연자산자원으로의 가치를 충분히 인지하고 있기 때문으로 판단할 수 있다.
