“…Various approaches have been suggested in the environmental economics literature as viable techniques to estimate abatement costs and internalise production externalities in agriculture (Novikova 2014). One such approach is the survey based stated preference methods of contingent valuation and choice modelling (Markantonis and Kostas 2010;Dupras et al 2018). These methods although they fit quite well to the evaluation needs of complex, multidimensional policies due to their flexibility in designing valuation models, they are nevertheless subjective.…”

Negative externalities such as nitrogen (N) surplus that accompany dairy production activities are not usually accounted for in the market place since they are not costed. Using a parametric hyperbolic environmental technology distance function approach, we estimate the environmental efficiency and farm-specific abatement costs (shadow price) of nitrogen surplus in dairy farms on the island of Ireland (Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland). The methodology, unlike previous approaches (output/input distance functions), allows for asymmetric treatments of production outputs (desirable and undesirable outputs). We also analyse the farm level nitrogen pollution costs ratio and its determinants. The results of our analyses showed that the average environmental technical efficiency estimates for the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland are 0.89 and 0.92 and the mean abatement costs per kg of N surplus is €4.02 and €6.2 respectively. We found a reasonable degree of variation in the spectrum of abatement costs across the dairy farms with a relative increase observed over the years.

“…LA has been valued in many studies based on direct and indirect valuation approaches. The conventional methods for assessing LA include hedonic pricing valuation (Estruch-Guitart & Vallés-Planells, 2015), contingent valuation (Dupras et al, 2018), revealed preference techniques (Kong et al, 2007) and stated preference techniques (Poder et al, 2016). Estruch-Guitart and Vallés-Planells (2015) estimated the total economic value of the LA in Albufera Natural Park (Valencia, Spain) using the analytical multicriterion valuation method with the aid of a set of experts.…”

Landscapes are part of the earth's surface, and include terrestrial, aquatic, natural, and anthropogenic features with differing dominance. The evaluation of Landscape Aesthetics (LA) and scenery is helpful for the understanding landscapes. The mapping of LA is increasingly being recognized in urban and landscape planning. Examining the flow and capacity of LA is an essential element in understanding the sustainability of urban landscapes. An explicit methodological approach was proposed for mapping LA using social media data (geolocated photographs) from Flickr to study the spatial distribution of LA in Xi'an, China. The LA flow and LA capacity were conceptually distinguished and assessed. The LA flow was analyzed with 10,278 geotagged photographs from Flickr to express people's actual appreciation of LA. The LA capacity was examined by spatial criterion evaluation, combined the weight of landscape features. LA flow and LA capacity differ in both spatial extent and quantity, although there was a spatially explicit balance between them. The results show that LA flow largely occurs in the urban core zone and that LA capacity is concentrated in certain parts of Xi'an due to the imbalanced distribution of historical cultural heritage sites. This research contributes to a better understanding of LA values and the relationships between LA values and landscape characteristics. The results can support the integration of cultural services in landscape planning and land use policy.

“…In the context of this study, the database was supplemented with a literature review of the economic valuation exercises of ES that had been undertaken in Quebec and Ontario [e.g. 9,18,36,37] and with studies on the valuation of aquatic ecosystems. The selected studies from this database are presented in S1 Table . 13 ES were selected for further analysis in the context of the NCC's Green Network.…”

The lack of information on the value of ecosystems contributing to human well-being in urban and peri-urban setting is known to contribute to the degradation of natural capital and ecosystem services (ES). The purpose of this study was to determine the economic value of ES in Canada’s Capital Region (Ottawa-Gatineau region), so that these values can be integrated in future planning decisions. Using the valuation methods of market pricing, cost replacement, and two benefit transfer approaches (with adjustment and with meta-analysis), the value of 13 ES from five ecosystems (forests, wetlands, croplands, prairies and grasslands, and freshwater systems) was measured. The annual economic value of these 13 ES amounts to an average of 332 million dollars, and to a total economic value of over 5 billion dollars, annualized over 20 years. The largest part of this value is generated by nonmarket ES, indicating that much more emphasis should be put on the management, preservation, and understanding of processes that make up these types of ES. The work generated as part of this study is a first step towards operationalizing the concept of ES in planning. More specifically, these results can be used to raise awareness, but also as a stepping stone to improve ecosystem-wide planning in the Canada’s Capital Region.
