Measurement of use and non-use values of Shirakami Mountain Range by using CVM consistent with TCM

In this study, we have constructed a valuation model based on the CVM consistent with the TCM, in order to measure the use and the non-use values of environmental goods consistently. And the practicality of our model has been examined, by applying this model to measurement of environmental economic value of Shirakami Mountain Range. The result indicated that the non-use value was estimated 1,028 JPY/person/year everywhere in Japan, and that the use value was estimated as 11,154 JPY/person/year in Aomori where is the local area of Shirakami Mountain Range, 5,579 JPY/person/year in Tokyo, 3,759 JPY/person/year in Osaka, and 2,666 JPY/person/year in Fukuoka.
