With the increasing concern about natural resources that is being devastated and lost its reproductivity, Non-use value of resources for future use is considered more important than the present use value in the resource valuation. This study aims to measure Total Non-use value in Namsan Park, Kwanak and Paldal Mountain with CVM(Contingent Valuation Method). CVM is the method which can evaluate Non-use value of tourism resource to find the future value of the given resource. This study is carried on the assumption that respondents give answers not to real situation but to imaginary circumstances. After analysing benefit value by estimating conservation value and separate use value, we can conclude that conservation value of tourism resource is given much weight.

Amid the recent intensification of climate change, the decline of subalpine coniferous species is evident. Accordingly, the Korea Forest Service is conducting research to establish conservation measures, identify the causes of the decline of subalpine coniferous species, and establish conservation strategies for seven species of conifers in the alpine region. This study used an economic value evaluation method to present objective data to inform the need for and value of conservation of endangered coniferous species through the recognition of endangered coniferous species and evaluation of conservation value among coniferous species conservation strategies in endangered alpine areas. A contingent valuation method was applied. As a result, the estimated conservation value per household of endangered alpine coniferous species was 49,181 won.

산림은 목재와 산채의 생산과 같은 물질생산의 기능이 있는 동시에 탄소를 고정하고 산소를 배출하는 광합성작용을 통하여 대기를 정화하며 지표토양의 침식을 방지한다. 또한 산림은 여러가지 동식물의 서식처로서 생물다양성을 보존하는 데 대단히 중요한 역할을 하는 동시에 도시민에게 휴식처를 제공하기도 한다. 이러한 산림의 다양한 기능 가운데 그 가치가 공식적으로 인정이 되고 있는 것은 목재나 약재와 같이 시장에서 유통되는 임산물의 생산기능에 제한되고 있어 산림자원의 효율적인 이용과 관리를 어렵게 하고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여서는 산림이 지니고 있는 환경보전기능에 대한 평가가 이루어져야 한다. 이 논문에서는 최근 서구 제국에서 진행되고 있는 산림의 환경보전적 가치의 평가에 관한 연구 추이를 살펴보고 이러한 산림의 환경보전적기능의 평가를 뒷받침할 수 있는 이론적 체계를 정립하고자 하였다. 환경자원평가 방법을 산림의 환경보전가치 평가에 적용할 수 있는가를 검토하였으며, 적용장의 문제점을 살펴보았다. 산림의 환경보전적 가치를 평가하고자 할 경우에는 대부분의 경우에 있어서 생산함수법을 우선적으로 사용하고, 이 방법의 적용이 불가능할 경우 가계생산함수법과 실험시장법은 보완적으로 사용하는 것이 바람직하다고 생각된다.

This study is to solve the problems arising from preserving the value of Bukhansan National Park as a precious tourism resource in South Korea. In order to effectively examine the value of preserving the resource, some cases of foreign countries having advanced skills and experiences in managing their national parks are examined so as to apply them to managing Bukhansan National Park. With this developed preserving method, this study mainly focuses on inducing the ways how to permanently maintain its value. Furthermore, some solutions for the problems through analyzing the current situation of Bukhansan National Park are suggested with additional proven opinions of serveral specialists interviewed. As a result, this study is expected to contribute on preserving the value of Bukhansan National Park which is one of the greatest properties in Korea.

The Korean government has been trying to conserve a marine ecosystem that has been shifting due to climate change. As part of this effort, the government designated seventy-seven marine species that have been disappearing and deserve to be protected as endangered managing them specially. To generate basic data to guide policy for these endangered species, their value must be measured. OOf the species declared endangered, coral is particularly threatened by climate change, and its management is important. Accordingly, understanding the potential value of reefs, can be an effective way of proving the benefits of continuous management to decision makers and the general public alike. To this end, we have applied the contingent valuation method (CVM), an economic technique of for valuing a environmental and non-market goods such as a coral reef. A national face-to-face survey of 1,000 randomly selected households was conducted in order to determine the public's willingness to pay (WTP) for conserving coral reefs. A one-and-one-half-bound (OOHB) model was adopted to interpret WTP responses, and a spike model was employed to deal with zero WTP responses. The results show that the conservation value of a coral reef can be estimated at 3,016 won per household per year, statistically significant at the 1 % level. Expanding values to the national population gives an annual value of 58.9 billion won. We can conclude that the public is willing to pay a significant amount to conserve coral reefs.

The purpose of this study is to establish the management area using assessment of the conservation value on forest wetland, Sandeul wetland in Mt. Jaeyak, Miryang-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, Korea. The six assessment factors were selected through the review of previous researches and written evidences such as wetland vegetation, hydrological factor, soil factor, topographical factor, naturalness and risk. The assessment data were built on the basis of digital topographic maps, digital detailed soil maps, high resolution satellite images and field surveys of three times. According to the result of assessment of the conservation value and establishment the management area, the core area which has the highest conservation value was occupied by 1.9ha and the conservation area which conservation value is 2 grades was occupied by 33.7ha. The buffer area surrounded core area and conservation area was analyzed by 33.7ha. The transition area which conservation value is 4 grades showed by the widest area(151.2ha) and restoration area that is the ecological hazard area was occupied by 1.7ha. In conclusion, these results can provide methods and basic informations for conserving and managing wetlands because the management area was classified scientifically considering rational processes.

The purpose of this study is to estimate the biodiversity conservation value of Heory stock in Sun-Cheon. Expected values of residents' Willingness To Pay (WTP) was estimated using Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) which is the most popular method in estimating conservation values of biological diversities. Three different estimation methods were used in statistical estimation, and the results were different from each other. Results of statistical analysis show that the expected value of WTP in logit model is highest, 5,772 Won per month. Those of A model which conducted OLS estimation using open ended questionnaire and B-1 model which conducted OLS estimation using dichotomous choice questionnaire were 1,978 Won per month and 2,391 Won per month respectively. The average expected value of WTP from three model was 3,380. This average value was expected to reduce methodological biases.

The increase in human use and activity in the oceans is leading to marine pollution and habitat destruction. As a result, in particular, marine animals with a long life cycle and small population are threatened with extinction. Thus, the Korean government designated 11 artificial habitats, such as aquariums and marine museums, as Ex-situ conservation institutions to preserve endangered marine life in 2010. However, studies on the significance and economic value of Ex-situ conservation institutions providing marine life conservation services have not been conducted. Thus, the purpose of this study was to estimate the public's quantitative support for the operation policy of Ex-situ conservation institutions, which is a management method for the protection and propagation of marine animals in Korea. To achieve this, the economic value of the marine animal conservation role of the National Maritime Museum was estimated, operated as an Ex-situ conservation institution for the preservation of green turtles in Korea. By using the representative non-market valuation method for public goods known as the contingent valuation method (CVM), the economic value of the Ex-situ conservation institution (National Maritime Museum) was estimated at approximately 41.8 billion won to a maximum of 78.1 billion won. The results of this study can be applied as basic data for marine animal management policymakers in establishing efficient management plans for endangered marine animals in Korea's coastal waters.
