“…The Analytic Multicriteria Valuation Method (AMUVAM) is an approach that can be successfully used to estimate TEV and its five components. Examples of its application include the study by Estruch-Guitart & Vallés-Planells [18] who estimated the economic value of landscape aesthetics in Albufera National Park (Valencia, Spain). AMUVAM is a combination of two established techniques namely the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and discount cash flow (DCF).…”

“…In AMUVAM, the known value of some of the components of TEV may be applied to derive the values of the remaining components [18]. The method permits the assessment of the relative importance and the monetary values of all the components of TEV which include the direct use values (DUV), indirect use values (IUV), option/quasi-option values (OV), existence value (EV), and bequest values (BV) [25].…”

It also allows the valuation of disaggregated components of TEV [18]. It is important to note that, any of these five TEV components can be decomposed further to determine the respective values of goods and services provided by the individual aggregates of the component (ibid).…”

Economic valuation of ecosystems is increasingly being recognized as an important exercise to inform sustainable utilization and conservation of natural assets. It helps in planning and establishing fair profit margins that accrue either directly or indirectly from the consumptive and non-consumptive uses of ecosystem goods and services. This paper is based on a study which estimated the economic values of tourist hunting blocks (HBs) in Tanzania using the Analytic Multicriteria Valuation Method (AMUVAM). The study used a sample size of 12 out of 24 vacant hunting blocks which were to be auctioned to potential hunting companies in December 2022. The economic values of HBs were estimated using the time horizon of 10 years (the mean tenure for winning company). The results show that the economic values ranged from USD 6,215,588 to USD 653,470,695 per hunting block and the Existence Value (EV) constituted about 19% of the Total Economic Value (TEV). EV ranged from USD 632,210 to USD 125,147,285. The study underscores the need for decisions to allocate ecosystems, such as HBs, to both direct and indirect uses, to be guided by a though understanding of their values. We further recommend building the capacity of staff charged with the role of managing and allocating uses of these ecosystems to enable them undertake economic valuation of ecosystems using both simple and more robust analytical tools, such as the GIS, relational databases, and worldwide websites based tools, like InVEST (Integrated Valuation of Environmental Services and Tradeoffs), ARIES

Tourist Development and Planning on the Valencian Mediterranean Coast: The Case of La Devesa Del Saler

It is known that the Spanish Mediterranean coast, and particularly the Valencian coast, has been the subject of an intense process of urban development since the 1960s. This process has been caused by both the increase in economic activities as a basis for the growth of cities and by the development of tourism along almost the entire coastline. Some cases have been studied in detail, such as the case of La Manga del Mar Menor, where massive tourist development took place. In the case of La Devesa de L'Albufera de València, its beginnings are similar to those of La Manga. In both cases, there is a similar coastal environment with a narrow strip of land between a large lake on one side, the Mar Menor lake and the Albufera lake, and the Mediterranean Sea on the other. However, from a certain point in time, the two areas evolved differently. In the case of La Manga, urban tourist development continued until the collapse of the real estate market due to the reduced attractiveness of the landscape. In contrast, the area of La Devesa del Saler began as a tourist urban development in a similar way, but, in the 1970s, a social movement emerged against its urbanization. This social movement gained strength progressively, until tourism development initiatives were paralyzed and the area protected for its environmental value. The case is the object of a doctoral thesis entitled "The mountain of La Devesa del Saler: the paradigm shift in mass tourism", and this paper focuses on the results of a part of this research, specifically the identification of the main historical milestones that explain the evolution of the process in the case of La Devesa del Saler.

“…As such, they are one of the aspects that managers consider when prioritizing the environmental initiatives with greatest impact on the aspects most valued by society [12]. Several authors have shown that the establishment of incentives or policies favoring certain practices have an impact on landscape esthetics [13,14] and conversely, the monetary valuation of esthetics as a component of the economic value of landscape should influence policy-making [12].The philosophical discussion on the esthetics of nature has been about their foundations on pure emotion, judgments of taste, reasoning or knowledge; the objective or subjective nature of the experience; the esthetic categories; and their relationship with art (see for a comprehensive review [15,16]). The earliest source of esthetic considerations related to nature date from Greek philosophers.…”

Ecology and Esthetics, Esthetic Ecology and the Ecological Esthetic in the Landscape: Contributions to the Apparent TongueTwister

The interface between ecology and esthetics does not only exist but is often vaster than thought at first sight. The implications of one for the other are diverse and often subtle, but both dimensions share a link that is as elusive as it is significant because of its influence on human behavior and on the landscape itself. Therefore, it is increasingly viewed as one of the aspects in the complex human–nature reality that should receive serious consideration to better manage the landscape. However, this relationship can be approached in different ways, and each of these perspectives will shape certain outcomes and different ways of intervening in the landscape. This article presents a generic framework of the models of analysis and intervention in the landscape from the point of view of how they address the ecological and esthetic component, with the aim of defining the limits in which each one moves, the differentiating nuances, and the repercussions they can have on the landscape. Likewise, the strategy that would best incorporate a more effective and meaningful relationship between ecology and esthetics in landscape planning is suggested.
