| Zusammenfassung |
| In mountainous regions, forests play a crucial role in protecting the local
population from natural hazards. In cases where existing forests are destroyed,
e.g. by wind throws or diseases, the protection function has to be restored
through technical measures. To determine the willingness to pay (WTP) for protection
against avalanches, a choice experiment has been conducted and different
experiment specifications have been tested to determine possible impacts on
the results. The present study contributes to a comprehensive assessment of
protection measures, and helps to identify efficient solutions based on the
judgement of the people potentially endangered by natural hazards. The
stepwise approach has the advantage to gradually check data fit, thereby
didactically showing an operational way of dealing with different model
specifications. The detailed case study can serve as a manual for conducting
choice experiments with a similar focus and demonstrates the suitability and
caveats of this approach to value protection from natural hazards in general. |
