Résumé :
|
A contingent ranking experiment was used to estimate the amenity loss for recreational users associated with pylons, overhead cables and pipelines along canal. In a survey of canal users, over 80% of respondents were willing to pay higher utility bills to reduce the number of service structures found along canals. Aggregated across all canal users, mean annual willingness to pay for a 1% decrease in service structures was estimated to be nearly £750,000. The implications of these findings could be significant in any future negotiations between British waterways and those companies responsible for siting pipelines and cables along canals.
