“…Pérez-Rubio et al [24] estimated cattle farmers' WTA to identify the economic value of ecosystem services, including erosion control, water availability, and biodiversity. Chang and Shin [49] assessed forests' economic value by eliciting WTP (USD 500 per hectare) and WTA (USD 2000 per hectare). Oh, Jung, and Joo [50] determined the economic value of ecosystem services provided by temple-owned forests in Korean national parks using CVM.…”

In order to maintain the provision of high-quality ecosystem services in wetlands, it is important to protect the ecosystems through the designation of protected areas. However, the process of designating protected areas can potentially give rise to social conflicts or problems by the acquisition of private lands. As an alternative, the institution of payments for ecosystem services (PES) can be a more viable solution. This study intends to propose reasonable contract standards for PES that consider the preferences of both beneficiaries and providers, which are necessary for the successful introduction of PES in wetland protection areas in Korea. In doing so, we employed choice experiments to estimate the willingness to pay (WTP) and willingness to accept (WTA) of different stakeholders. Our findings indicate that both beneficiaries and providers had a positive perception of PES contract terms. Moreover, the WTP and WTA values were comparable, suggesting that the unit price of PES could be determined within a reasonable range. These results can serve as a foundation for acquiring additional funds required for the introduction of PES in wetland protected areas.

“…The province is also a pioneer province to implement the PFES since 2011. In TTH province, PFES is not heavily reliant on foreign donors, which enables a closer evaluation of its implementation and effects of a domestically-funded PFES program (Hoang et al, 2021a). The Forest Protection and Development Fund of TTH province (TTH-FPDF) is the only intermediary organization and has pushed a number of initiatives such as the use of remote sensing technology and various policies to ensure the efficient, transparent, and equitable implementation of PFES (Hoang et al, 2021b).…”

“…It had been critically concluded that the PFES scheme in Vietnam is a top-down approach [24,25]. In this regard, a study by Ngoc et al [26] proposed that local participation could increase forest conservation effectiveness, and local motivation could be enhanced by expanding the range of payout calculations. Iwanaga et al [27] pointed out the importance of bottom-up decision-making in achieving conservation.…”

In 2010, Vietnam implemented the payment for forest environmental services (PFES) program that was expected to bring additional income to local people and improve the efficiency of forest protection. However, factors affecting the motivation to participate in PFES have rarely been examined. The objectives of this study were to (1) identify factors that influence local people’s participation in PFES, (2) examine how local people participating in the PFES program were involved in decision-making in the Thua Thien Hue Province, and (3) assess PFES impact on local people. We conducted a field survey of 32 households at the study site. We found no difference in the access to PFES between poor and non-poor households. Participation in PFES was considered a reward for labor work in forests and a means to compensate for the legal rights of participants. Local people could participate at many stages of PFES implementation; however, they were only passive spectators with regards to PFES management. Two-thirds of the participants did not participate in decision-making regarding PFES distribution. We conclude that the efficiency of future PFES programs may be increased by enabling and stimulating the participants to take a more active part in the process of PFES management and distribution.
