Der Wert der Landschaft
Our cultural landscape is more and more endangered by anthropogenic influences. Therefore concepts are necessary which help to preserve such areas. Basic information is needed, in order to quantify the monetary value of cultural landscapes. Valuing the landscape two special problems appear. First the collective-good-problem, caused by the public character of the environment, and second the existence of external costs. The results of two empirical studies which ascertain the monetary value of cultural landscapes by the Contingent Valuation Method are discussed. The main question is how much additional money local people and tourists are willing to pay in order to preserve the terraced wine growing landscape of the Moselle valley. Results which were gained show that there is a remarkable willingness to pay for the preservation of this cultural landscape among all questioned persons, especially among the locals. The findings of the Contingent Valuation Method should not be conceived as precise figures. Nevertheless is the benefit of the examined terraced wine growing landscape of approximately the same hight as the estimated costs for the agricultural support measures ruled by governmental programmes. The conclusion is that there is a cost-benefit ratio.
