Valuing habitat provision and aesthetic ecosystem services in built environments: landscape visibility and connectivity indicators in a choice experiment study
Résumé
This paper aims to value habitat provision and aesthetic ecosystem services and to study the compatibility of these seemingly unrelated services in greater depth and more systematically than is often the case. We use landscape visibility metrics and indicators as common inputs for both valuations. To better understand the origin of public preferences for urban landscape and to provide meaningful valuation for landscape planning policy, we integrate visual and ecological indicators in a choice experiment study. Our methodology is applied to the landscape of C & ocirc;te-d'Or in France. Mixed logit models are employed to incorporate random taste heterogeneity. By placing landscape ecology metrics at the heart of the stated preference framework, this article seeks to bridge the gap between landscape ecology and non-market valuation, with an eye to promoting ecological services rendered by urban landscapes while maximising social welfare.
