The model results showed that age, degradation of farm plots, use of improved technologies, livestock ownership, cultivable land owned, perception of land degradation and land tenure security were found to be important in determining the farmers’ willingness to pay for the conservation of the national park. In addition, training on soil and water conservation, land degradation, satisfaction with conflict resolution and distance from the district’s town, use of improved technologies and income from tourist related activities were important determinants of intensity of labor contribution. On the other hand, being male household head, existence of plots with in the park boundary, age of the household head, number of oxen owned, distance from the district’s town and willingness of a household to pay for the conservation of the national park were found to relate significantly to expected net loss. The consideration of these factors would be useful to the successful and sustainable implementation of the conservation strategy. 000050318 546__ $$aEnglish 000050318 650__ $$aEnvironmental Economics and Policy 000050318 6531_ $$aPark with people 000050318 6531_ $$aWillingness to pay and Expected net loss 000050318 6531_ $$aSemein National Park 000050318 700__ $$aBekabil, Fufa 000050318 700__ $$aAnemut, Belete 000050318 773__ $$q1$$o17 000050318 8564_ $$94158c82f-8952-486f-90da-7ebc10b374ae$$s59541$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/50318/files/Bejing%20AES%20conference%20paperII.pdf 000050318 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/50318 000050318 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:50318$$pGLOBAL_SET 000050318 912__ $$nSubmitted by Bekabil Fufa (akassa2000@yahoo.com) on 2009-05-22T19:58:54Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Bejing AES conference paperII.pdf: 59541 bytes, checksum: 71a4d523f5e02281d2126a6a34d2b799 (MD5) 000050318 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2009-05-22T19:58:56Z (GMT).
