Preferences for urban green spaces and peri-urban forests: An analysis of stated residential choices
Highlights Applying a choice experiment, we assess the preferences for living close to urban parks and forests. This study applies a pivot-based experimental design that frames respondents’ choices in terms of their current residence. The preference heterogeneity in the population can be partially explained by differences in household characteristics. The results indicate substitution between having access to a private garden and to urban green spaces.
Abstract This paper assesses the value of urban green spaces, specifically peri-urban forests and their potential substitutes, for the local population on the basis of their residential choice. We applied a choice experiment that focuses on the trade-offs between private housing characteristics and the environmental aspects of neighborhoods. Individual willingness-to-pay is estimated from a latent class model and a mixed logit model along with a Willingness-To-Pay (WTP) space approach. Our results show that green spaces provide both direct use value (recreation) and indirect use value (scenic view). The respondent's value of distance to peri-urban forests depends on recreational use. The ownership of a private garden reduces the WTP for living closer to an urban park.
