The Supply and Demand for Natural Amenities: An Overview of Theory and Concepts

Culture Clash? Predictors of Views on Amenity‐Led Development and Community Involvement in Rural Recreation Counties

“…Development is generally considered to encompass more than just economic growth in rural‐amenity‐focused empirical studies (Marcouiller et al ). Like Power (), we consider ALD to be economic or demographic growth in a place that stems from the natural amenities that are present. Natural amenities play a role in regional economies by boosting aggregate population growth, income growth, employment growth, and housing development (Marcouiller and Clendenning ).…”

“…When amenity‐growth communities transition from small sleepy towns to bustling rural destinations, certain forms of development become contentious because they represent the social, economic, or demographic changes some residents fear and, on the other hand, others welcome (Farstad and Rye ; Ghose ; Gosnell and Abrams ; Hamilton et al ; Ulrich‐Schad ). Like past studies (e.g., Marcouiller, Deller, and Green ; Power ), here we use the term “amenity‐led development” (ALD) to refer to the demographic and economic growth in a place that stems from the natural amenities that are present, a usage similar to that in past research.…”

The role of landscape amenities in regional development: Evidence from Swiss municipality data

“…Deller et al (2005) showed that areas tend to profit from their natural amenities in terms of employment growth when investing in amenity-related infrastructure. Richness in natural amenities is not a sufficient condition for local economic growth (Power, 2005). This might be particularly true for tourismdepending regions in the Swiss Alps.…”

A Review of “The rural housing question: Communities and planning in Britain's countrysides” By Madhu Satsangi, Nick Galent, and Mark Bevan

“…Book Reviews historic, and human-made) are clearly and increasingly well-supported in the literature (Irwin, Isserman, Kilkenny, & Partridge, 2010;Isserman, Feser, & Warren, 2009;Power, 2005). Further assessments with more finely contextualized geographic resolution would, no doubt, suggest that high amenity sites and low amenity sites exhibit contrasting and opposing supply and demand aspects with respect to rural housing markets.…”
