Abstract
This research was conducted to develop the demand function and to estimate an increase of national parks visitors considering abolition of entrance fee, using dichotomous choice contingent valuation. Also, this study estimated the additional management cost with an increase of visitors. As a result, an average increase rate was estimated about 5.8% considering abolition of entrance fee. Each increase rate of national park is analyzed Bukhansan 9.0%, Gyeryongsan 8.5%, Deogyusan 8.2%, respectively. Seoraksan is the lowest rate of increase, 3.0%. Total additional management cost of 18 national parks was estimated about 5.6 billion won, Bukhansan 1.4 billion won, Jirisan 0.7 billion won, Dadohaehaesang 0.5 billion won, respectively.
