Abstract

In recent years environmental valuation method has been used as a method of managing Natural Parks in Japan. There are some methods, such as Travel Cost Method (TCM) and Contingent Valuation Method (CVM), that can evaluate the outdoor recreational value and the environmental values. To obtain the reliable valuation, it is important to compare the valuation of TCM with that of CVM. In this study I evaluated the value of outdoor recreation on Uryunuma Mire, Hokkaido, Japan by applying Zone Travel Cost Method (ZTCM), Individual Travel Cost Method (ITCM), and CVM. Then I compared and discussed these results. The estimate mean of ZTCM was 1214.9yen per visit, and that of ITCM was 1552.6yen per visit. The estimate median and mean of the Single-Bound Model CVM were 1255.7yen and 2260.7yen, and those of the Double-Bound Model CVM were 1192.8yen and 1687.7yen, respectively. Although these values cannot be compared among others directly, all these values relatively concentrated between 1, 000 yen and 2, 000 yen.
