Abstract

As coastal areas have a distinct nature with the interaction of the lands and waters, they attract people to enjoy and experience the natural environments physically and intellectually; this generates cultural ecosystem services. Coastal beaches are one of the most common coastal areas for cultural ecosystem services. The purpose of this study was to 1) estimate the economic values of cultural ecosystem services derived from coastal beaches, and 2) expand the estimated values into other beaches across the country using a benefit transfer method. We divided the values of cultural ecosystem services into five different categories based on an extensive literature review: recreation and tourism, landscape and aesthetic, educational, heritage, and inspirational values. The values of tourism and recreation, landscape and aesthetic, and educational services were estimated using the choice experiments. The attributes of the choice experiments consisted of conservation funds, litter, water quality, seascape, landscape, and biodiversity, and the data were collected through online surveys with visitors of 11 representative beaches in Korea. Heritage and inspiration services were estimated using a market goods method based on their expenditures. These values were transferred to 257 beaches across the country. Study results can be used for policy decisions on various restoration and conservation projects caused by coastal erosion and development and on the need and extent of public investments.

해안지역은 육지와 물이 상호작용하는 독특한 특징이 있어 사람들이 자연환경을 육체적 및 정신적으로 향유하고 체험하도록 유도하며, 이는 문화생태계서비스(이하 문화서비스)를 형성한다. 문화서비스가 가장 많이 이루어지는 해안지역은 해수욕장이다. 본 연구의 목적은 1) 해수욕장에서 얻는 문화서비스의 경제적 가치를 추정하고, 2) 편익이전법을 이용하여 가치를 전국 해수욕장으로 확장하는 것이다. 선행연구를 심층적으로 검토하여 문화서비스를 관광·휴양, 경관·심미, 교육, 유산, 영감 등 다섯 가지 범주로 나누었다. 관광·휴양, 경관·심미, 교육 서비스는 선택실험법을 통해 가치를 추정하였다. 선택실험법의 속성은 보전기금, 쓰레기, 수질, 바다 경관, 주변지역 경관, 생물종다양성이며 11곳의 해수욕장 방문자를 대상으로 한 온라인 설문조사를 통해 자료를 수집하였다. 유산과 영감 서비스는 지출액을 묻는 시장재화법으로 가치를 평가하였다. 도출한 가치는 전국의 257개 해수욕장으로 편익이전하여 평가하였다. 연구결과는 해수욕장에 대한 연안침식과 개발에 따른 복원, 공공투자 여부와 투자 규모에 대한 정책 결정을 위한 근거로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
