Abstract

[eng] The recreational services provided by the natural environment are highly heterogeneous and most of them are non market. for management purpose however, it is useful to fully appreciate individuals preferences for recreation attributes and provide a monetary value for outdoor recreation. visitors of forests for instance, desire both natural features and public equipments. in choosing a recreative destination, one may consequently pose questions regarding the relative importance of each of these characteristics. given the multidimensional character of forest recreation, we have employed the choice experiment as a valuation method. this paper applies the choice experiment to public forest in the gironde area in the southwest of france. a survey for residents was conducted in the summer of 2006. the originality of the questionnaire design lies in the use of the travel distance as a proxy for the price of scenarios (monetary attribute). our results show that residents do not attach a significant value to all attributes. the willingness-to-pay (wtp) is positive and significant for tidiness and, to a lesser degree, for scenic quality, ranging from €1,07 to €6,23 (per person per trip) depending on attri- butes levels. In contrast, the presence of equipments such as picnic tables and cycle lanes, as well as the reduction in congestion, are not statistically significant. Aside from assigning welfare estimates to the characteristics of forest recreation, we demonstrate the interest of using multi-attribute analysis for recreational demand for public forest management practices. [fre] Les services récréatifs fournis par le patrimoine naturel sont marqués par une forte hétérogénéité. Ils sont également, dans leur grande majorité, non marchands. Pourtant, la connaissance des préférences des visiteurs et de la valeur qu’ils attribuent à ces services est une information cruciale pour le gestionnaire. En forêt par exemple, les visiteurs recherchent à la fois des attributs naturels et des équipements matériels. La question se pose donc de l’importance relative de chacun de ces éléments dans le choix de visite. Afin d’étudier ces changements multidimensionnels, nous avons eu recours à la méthode des choix multi-attributs (Choice Experiment). Nous proposons son application aux forêts domaniales de Gironde. Une enquête a été menée durant l’été 2006 auprès d’un échantillon de la population résidente. L’originalité des scénarios réside, entre autres, dans l’utilisation de la distance comme indicateur du prix des politiques proposées. Nous montrons que les résidents ne valorisent pas tous les attributs. Ils expriment un consentement-à-payer (CAP) significativement positif pour la propreté et, à un degré moindre, pour la qualité paysagère avec des valeurs comprises entre 1,07 et 6,23 euros (par individu et par visite) selon les niveaux d’attributs.
