Double bounded survival values for preserving the landscape of natural parks

Article Abstract:

Pure recreational value is just a small part of the desire to preserve distinct and scarce environmental resources. Willingness to pay increases with the level of income, years of education and size of household. Empirical analysis of lognormal distribution in comparison with exponential, Weibull, and generalized gamma distributionsproduces positive results. The study uses double bounded model proposed by Carson, following dichotomous choice elicitation procedure.

Supporting the choice of the sports fishing site

Article Abstract:

A cardinal choice framework has been developed to help sport fishermen choose the most appropriate fishing sites that meet their specific needs. The model was based on the fishing sites at the Ruunaa sports and recreation fishing area in Finland. Through the choice model, fishermen can maximize their fishing activities as well as assist in the effective management of the area's marine resources. The key components of the cardinal choice model were discussed.

Environmental management decisions: a paramorphic analysis of planning permission for mineral development

Article Abstract:

A paramorphic model has been developed to analyze how county environmental officers decide on pending mineral deposit development applications. The decisions made by the environmental office of Durham County, NC, was used test the efficacy of the paramorphic model. Results showed a high level of accuracy in predicting decision outcomes and highlighted the fact the most environmental officials arrived at decisions using only a few major variables.
