“…In addition, recent stated preference studies have adopted non-monetary payment modes to elicit respondents' preferences for non-market goods and services. For example [44], have estimated respondents' willingness to volunteer their time in stormwater management. [45] has investigated individuals' willingness to work.…”

The spread of COVID-19 in the Spring of 2020 prompted state and local governments to implement a variety of policies, including stay-at-home (SAH) orders and mandatory mask requirements, aimed at reducing the infection rate and the severity of the pandemic’s impact. We implement a discrete choice experiment survey in three major U.S. States—California, Georgia, and Illinois—to empirically quantify individuals’ willingness to stay (WTS) home, measured as the number of weeks of a potential new SAH order, to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 disease and explore factors leading to their heterogeneous WTS. Our results demonstrate broad support for statewide mask mandates. In addition, the estimate of WTS to lower new positive cases is quite large, approximately five and half weeks, even though staying home lowers utility. We also find that individuals recognize the trade-offs between case reduction and economic slowdown stemming from SAH orders when they decide to stay home or not. Finally, pandemic related factors such as age, ability to work from home, and unemployment status are the main drivers of the heterogeneity in individuals’ WTS.

“…When quantifying regulating ESS such as flood risk reduction and improvement of water quality, extending the valuation scenario to include the benefit of improved habitat quality appeared to be a sensible choice for various studies (e.g. Ando et al, 2020;Bateman et al, 2011;Ramajo-Hernández and del Saz-Salazar, 2012). As for the recreation benefits, they appear to be most often quantified together with biodiversity benefits, followed by habitat quantity (Fig.…”

“…However, there is substantial potential for monitoring and maintenance to be more community driven, that is, using the public to report incidents or issues, or actively maintain the GI though stewardship opportunities, for example, Portland's Green Street Steward Program (BES, 2020). The public may feel a greater sense of ownership or responsibility to maintain their “local GI” due to the recognition of benefits that are important to them, for example, improved aesthetics, recreational opportunities, and health and wellbeing benefits (Ando et al, 2020; Kattel et al, 2021; Roy et al, 2008; Visitacion et al, 2009), which is not the case for traditional engineered solutions. As a result, lower maintenance costs and a reduced frequency for on‐site inspections due to out‐sourced public monitoring and reporting of issues may be possible, but this should not replace the need for professional, recorded inspections (Blecken et al, 2015).…”

Green infrastructure: The future of urban flood risk management?

et al. 2021

Urban flooding is a key global challenge which is expected to become exacerbated under global change due to more intense rainfall and flashier runoff regimes over increasingly urban landscapes. Consequently, many cities are rethinking their approach to flood risk management by using green infrastructure (GI) solutions to reverse the legacy of hard engineering flood management approaches. The aim of GI is to attenuate, restore, and recreate a more natural flood response, bringing hydrological responses closer to pre‐urbanized conditions. However, GI effectiveness is often difficult to determine, and depends on both the magnitude of storm events and the spatial scale of GI infrastructure. Monitoring of the successes and failures of GI schemes is not routinely conducted. Thus, it can be difficult to determine whether GI provides a sustainable solution to manage urban flooding. This article provides an international perspective on the current use of GI for urban flood mitigation and the solutions it offers in light of current and future challenges. An increasing body of literature further suggests that GI can be optimized alongside gray infrastructure to provide a holistic solution that delivers multiple co‐benefits to the environment and society, while increasing flood resilience. GI will have to work synergistically with existing and upgraded gray infrastructure if urban flood risk is to be managed in a futureproof manner. Here, we discuss a series of priorities and challenges that must be overcome to enable integration of GI into existing stormwater management frameworks that effectively manage flood risk.
