摘要 | Water quality for water resource users has become a major issue with respect to mid/downstream and upstream areas along the river basin. The upstream regions of the Han River basin, South Korea, are dominated by highland agricultural areas where chemical fertilizers and sediments frequently leach from farmland into the river resulting in the degradation of water quality in mid/downstream areas. A rational decision-making for water resource management should be made on the basis of an integrated analytical framework linking physical impacts from the land use changes on water quality changes to economic benefits/costs. This study estimated the economic benefits of water quality improvement as a result of converting agricultural lands into environment-friendly lands using linkages between households’ perceptions about water quality and scientific water quality measures. This study used a pivot-style experimental design approach in developing the choice experiment. In empirical estimation, econometric approaches that permit flexible structures in error components of the utility function were applied. The results indicated the presence of heteroscedasticity across choice alternatives. This study found that the economic impacts of water quality improvement resulted by land use changes are substantial and that the water use charges paid by the households in mid/downstream areas could be used to cover the costs of purchasing farmlands in upstream regions or to subsidize decreased farm households’ net income. |
