摘要: We carried out online choice experiments (CE) to investigate what value Japanese individuals assign rare versus familiar species in forest ecosystem, and determine how preference heterogeneity arises. CE attributes comprised a forestry charge as the price attribute of animals or plants good be valued. Species numbers 5 km-mesh area were evaluated without use names focus purely on responses numerical changes. Positional effects also tested validate results regarding alternatives other than attribute. A random parameter logit model was adopted capture preferences for diversity. After confirming that no positional existed, we found (1) valued more highly plants, (2) assigned positive value, but not significant at mean estimate, (3) heterogeneities existed all species. The sources analyzed with latent class having principal components environmental attitudes. influence such attitudes shown suggested attention should paid belief systems rather solely demographics.
