Valuing environmental quality change on recreational hunting in Korea: A contingent valuation analysis

Article Abstract:

The benefits from environmental quality changes for hunting conditions in evaluating alternative resource management policies in Korea are estimated. Comparisons between functions for a given scenario were undertaken to determine if willingness-to-pay (WTP) estimates differ between residents and non-residents. WTP estimates for hunting quality changes between resident and non-resident hunters are statistically the same, suggesting that a policy may not have to be imposed on resident and non-resident hunters differently.

It is a project working towards integrate catchment management, with particular emphasis on the freshwater salmon fishery, using an Arc/Info Unix-based GIS database. The new GIS aid for salmon managers, developed within the project, shows how GIS can helped to create new analytical tools useful for management.
