摘要: Sea-level rise, as a result of climate change, will likely inflict considerable economic consequences on coastal regions, particularly low-lying island states like Singapore. Although the literature has addressed vulnerability developed lands, this is first study to address nonmarket such beaches, marshes and mangrove estuaries. This travel cost contingent valuation reveals that consumers in Singapore attach value beaches. The also attached high values mangroves but was not supported by study. protecting land uses from sea-level rise expensive, shows at least highly valued resources, Singapore's popular should be protected.
