“…Specifically, forestry activities have changed more positively in groups of Kinh and Muong in comparison with Dzao and Tay (Table 7). This finding was different from what has found out by Duong & de Groot [2]. For these two authors, a higher PFES disbursement tended to report a higher number in changed forest management actions in a positive direction Duong & de Groot [2].…”

“…Pham et al [8,9] and Thu-Ha et al [11] have assessed PFES impacts based on indicators such as forest cover, forest protection, the number of households contracted to protect the forest, the amount of money received/day for forest protection patrol, the proportion of income from PFES in the total income of the household, the change in local livelihoods. Duong & de Groot identified PFES impacts on community-level forest management, particularly changes in the forest patrol groups, trespass and fire prevention, and the effectiveness of forest protection rules [2]. Whereas this paper examined the economic impacts at both provincial and forest owner levels, especially the household.…”

The policy of payment for forest environmental services (PFES) has been implemented in Vietnam since 2011 and in Hoa Binh province since 2013. This policy has had certain impacts on improvement of local people living standard as well as on forest protection and development. Based on secondary and primary information collected in Mai Chau district, Da Bac district and Hoa Binh city, this paper analyzes the economic, social and environmental impacts of PFES on the forestry sector in general and forest owners in particular. The study showed that although money that was received from PFES by households was very small in their overall income, revenue of Commune People’s Committees communities was so large that it could help them to purchase equipment for forest protection and development. Thanks to PFES, forest area and forest cover rate of Hoa Binh province have been markedly increased.

To overcome this problem, from the layer of nonparticipants in the sample, we generated a counterfactual variable, then Duong & De Groot, 2020;Tuijnman et al, 2020).

Payments for environmental services (PES) are usually considered as a useful tool to both protect the environment and generate multiple income streams for mountainous households who receive the payments, and thus, it has been widely implementing in many developing countries so far; however, the impact of it on local livelihoods and environment has been questioned. Therefore, the article aimed to evaluate the Vietnamese PES scheme’s effect on both environment and local livelihoods by surveying 282 households living in Quang Nam, Vietnam, and utilized the propensity score matching (PSM) technique to investigate the intervention policy’s influence. Furthermore, to evaluate PES’s effect on the environment, the article used Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) as a measure of the photosynthetic level of forest trees. The calculation of NDVI relied on satellite images downloaded from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer. The results indicated that (a) the natural forest status has been improved during PES implementation compared with that of pre-PES period regarding total forest areas, percentage of forest coverage, and vegetation cover; and (b) PES-participants have got a significantly lower income than nonparticipants regarding total annual income, agricultural income, and hired labor income. The limitation is that the impact of interventions on livelihoods and the environment is determined by the mutual combination of implemented programs rather than only the PES regime. So, we highly recommend that the future study separate the PES scheme’s actual impact to precisely evaluate the PES project’s effect on financial and environmental outcomes.

“…The traditional resource management decline in these countries requires implemented shifts, from provisioning services to regulating and cultural services. For instance, the implementation of Payments for Ecosystem Services schemes [6,7] for regulating services and resource management through recreational activities for cultural services [8][9][10]. Regarding (2), although some researchers have attempted quantitative evaluation since the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA) in the early 2000s [11,12], the results disagree with each ecosystem service.…”

Evaluation of a Structure Providing Cultural Ecosystem Services in Forest Recreation: Quantitative Text Analysis of Essays by Participants

Cultural ecosystem services are nonmaterial benefits that individuals acquire from the ecosystem, such as recreation, aesthetic enjoyment, and tourism. The quantification of cultural services is considered difficult to accurately make compared to other forest ecosystem services. Although some studies evaluate cultural services from forest recreation, “simple quantification” based on easy-to-obtain data is criticized for disregarding the local context and missing essential details. Therefore, this study evaluates a structure providing cultural services, and the local or detailed factors missed by simple quantification, while illustrating objective and statistical evidence with careful observations and a comprehension of local society. This study focuses on urban resident participation in natural resource management through recreational activities in Japanese mountain villages, using Fujiwara District, Minakami Town, Japan, as a case study, and by conducting a quantitative text analysis of 424 essays containing participants’ experiences and impressions. Using the software KH Coder, the Jaccard index is used to calculate co-occurrence relationships between frequently used words, visualizing the results in a network diagram. Additionally, several codes are added to keywords that characterize this case, and correlations between each code are examined. From the analysis, we discovered that social factors, such as interaction with comrades and locals, considerably influence participants’ positive emotions.
