title: Households' willingness to pay for attractive green areas
ispublished: pub
full_text_status: public
abstract: This paper discusses households’ willingness to pay for a marginal change in the presence of national attractive green areas within their living environments, based on a hedonic approach. Attractive green area presence in the living environment is measured by a distance-weighted size index regarding all attractive green areas within 2.5 kilometers from property. Dutch housing data are used, providing 65,268 observations that describe properties’ values, characteristics and the disposable income level of households. Estimates of households’ willingness to pay for a marginal increase in attractive green area are compared to estimates for households’ willingness to pay for a marginal increase in green area. The findings reported in this study will be useful to spatial planning.
