“…Also, Kusturica et al (2020) stated that gender influenced WTP for a pharmaceutical disposal programme in Serbia. However, Chen (2019) found no significant difference between gender in terms of WTP for a solid waste disposal system in Taiwan. Song et al (2016) and Boateng et al (2019) found educational level had a significant effect on WTP for improved solid waste management services in Ghana and Macau, respectively.…”

“…Many researchers have begun to focus on WTP due to environmental concerns and for healthcare services improvements (Khattak et al, 2009;Afroz & Masud, 2011;Afroz et al, 2013;Aizuddin & Al Junid, 2018;Owusu-Amankwah, 2018;Boateng et al, 2019;Chen, 2019;Kusturica et al, 2020). Aizuddin and Al Junid (2018) explored the WTP for revised government outpatient registration fees for healthcare services among the Malaysian population.…”

Healthcare is an important sector that serves the Malaysian population and is in high demand. The sector's carbon footprint has an impact on the natural environment, and healthcare waste management services reduce this environmental impact. This study examines residents' knowledge, perception, and willingness to pay for healthcare waste management services. A total of 384 respondents, selected through the cluster sampling method, participated in the survey for this study. The research sample comprised Putrajaya residents who were at least 18 years old. The findings showed that the respondents had a broader knowledge age. The respondents also had a slightly high perception of environmental issues. The estimated willingness to pay values were RM6.73, RM5.90 and RM5.32 annually for those in the bottom 40%, middle 40% and top 20% income groups, respectively, based on the results of the double-bounded contingent valuation method. The annual willingness to pay value was approximately RM2.34 million (US$0.54 million). The residents mostly preferred to pay annually via online banking. These findings could help decision-makers attain residents' support by identifying the affordable amount for the fee and the preferred payment methods. It will also help determine how to best collect healthcare waste management service fees and develop new healthcare waste management policies.

“…O Pay-As-You-Throw (PAYT) é um dos principais incentivos econômicos utilizadas por países com baixo desempenho na gestão de RSU para reduzir a geração e aumentar a reciclagem (Kling et al, 2016). A título de exemplo, a implementação de PAYT reduziu a geração per capita em mais de 50% (em apenas 1 ano) em algumas cidades Italianas (Bonelli et al, 2016) e aumentou a reciclagem em mais de 30% em Taiwan (Chen, 2019). Entretanto, considera-se pouco provável a sua adesão no Brasil, uma vez que, possui alto custo financeiro em função dos requisitos de controle e fiscalização (Seacat & Boileau, 2018).…”

Resumo As atividades de coleta e transporte são as mais onerosas para a administração pública no sistema municipal de gerenciamento de resíduos. Diante disso, este estudo avaliou a implantação de políticas de educação ambiental, ampliação da cobertura da coleta seletiva e redução da taxa de geração per capita e suas influências nos custos de coleta e aterramento dos resíduos sólidos urbanos (RSU) gerados. Para isso, confeccionou-se um modelo de dinâmica de sistemas ao qual foram simulados 27 cenários com diferentes comportamentos de implantação de políticas e um horizonte de simulação entre 2019 e 2040. Os resultados apontam que investimentos em educação ambiental só trazem benefícios quando associados a investimentos na expansão da coleta seletiva municipal. A expansão da cobertura de coleta seletiva aumenta significativamente o custo total do sistema, visto que seu custo é três vezes superior ao da coleta convencional. Entretanto, este custo pode ser reduzido em caso de redução da geração per capita atrelada à implementação de programas educativos e coleta seletiva. Cabe salientar que o modelo pode ser utilizado para realizar a estimativa dos custos de gerenciamento dos RSU quando envolvem a influência da implementação de programas de coleta seletiva, educação ambiental e mudanças na geração de RSU.

“…CVM or a choice experiment (CE) is widely utilized in WTP estimates and influence of various factors on WTP [81][82][83]. CE approach generates choice scenarios presented to the participants to make their choices from among the scenarios in a choice set, during the data collection process [81][82][83].…”

How Experts’ Opinions and Knowledge Affect Their Willingness to Pay for and Ranking of Hydrological Ecosystem Services

2020

To ensure that ecosystem services are included in decision-making processes, many studies have relied on expert opinions and knowledge to identify, rank, and assess willingness to pay. In this study, expert opinions according to their expertise in hydrology, ecology, and sociology were surveyed and compared in terms of (1) recognition and ranking of hydrological ecosystem services (HESs) and (2) willingness to pay for HESs. The decision-making process was also investigated, specifically the rankings of factors in experts’ plans for climate change adaptation. The experts’ recognition of and opinions concerning HESs were positively correlated at various levels with intention to pay (i.e., whether respondents were willing to pay for HESs). Most experts recognized the importance of HESs and allocated high average scores of 9.15, 8.17, and 8.41 to water yield, sediment export, and nutrient export, respectively, using a scale from 1 (least important) to 10 (most important). The percentage of sociologists (100%) exhibited greater intention to pay than those of hydrologists (70%) and ecologists (93%), respectively. Experts prioritized environmental impact over economic cost in policy decision-making, and they differed significantly by field in terms of their rankings of the functional, economic, environmental, and social considerations of decision-making. The results revealed significant differences among experts in their decision-making preferences according to their fields of knowledge. The experts of a specific study field may be more willing to pay for that than for another. Greater intellectual exchange and analysis among experts should be implemented and diverse expert opinions should be solicited in policy decision-making.
