      abstract = {Economic valuation methods have already been used abroad  successfully for solving
above all local and nation-wide  problems in rural (and also urban) areas with  incorporated
multifunctional natural and cultural goods, in  a sense of their cultural, recreational,
educational,  ecological, aesthetical and existential values. The  existence of these goods,
in our case for the countryside,  increases the welfare of users as well as of non-users
when  goods are nationally or globally important. Since  environmental and cultural goods
are in fact public goods,  their use is mostly free, while managers or owners have  some
maintenance costs, which are usually covered from the  budget. It is quite clear that
allocation and distribution  of these sources has to be properly justified. The same  holds
true for individual interventions into the space.  This article suggests contingent valuation
methods as a  helping tool for making decisions on economic activities  and interventions to
the area.},
