摘要：

The aim of this study was to evaluate the non-market benefits resulting from the restoration of an old drovers' route for recreation uses in Valencia (Spain). The valuation was carried out using the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) through the elicitation of individuals' willingness to pay (WTP). Since 52% of the respondents stated a zero WTP response, in order to inform decision-making processes more accurately, special attention was paid to the problem of zero and protest responses, and also to the possible presence of self-selection by those that protested. For the different specifications considered, results suggest that mean WTP estimates are higher for "rural areas" than for "the Valencia area". (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
