Abstract:Surveys was carried out to studied residents’ willingness to pay (WTP) for urban river restoration in the three key cities of Yangtze Delta, i.e., Shanghai, Nanjing and Hangzhou, as well as the WTP’s differences among the three cities employing some survey techniques in Contingent valuation method (CVM). Based on the 1258 questionnaires, the results of statistical analysis showed that: the means of WTP for Shanghai, Nanjing and Hangzhou were 20.5, 25.4, and 20.3 Yuan per household per month, respectively. Using linear logarithmic model, income and environmental awareness were found statistically significant on WTP in three cities. The impacts of household registration and education appeard differently on WTP in the three cities. The aggregated model of cities showed that WTP in Nanjing was significantly higher than the other two cities, and there was no significant difference of WTP between Hangzhou and Shanghai. The WTP acquired appeared to be consistent in the three cities, which provided a strong empirical support for investigation on WTP’s benefit transfer between the different regions in China. However, the impact of factors on WTP varied in different cities. Thus, the model should be improved for deeply understanding on the differences in the further study.
