HEDONIC VALUATION OF MARGINAL WILLINGNESS TO PAY FOR AIR QUALITY IMPROVEMENT
Abstract
This study aims to identify the highest air pollution areas and to estimate household marginal willingness
to pay for air quality improvement. The result of Kriging technique indicates that six sub
districts in Yogyakarta City and one sub district in Gunungkidul have highest concentration of particle
pollution (PM10). The result of hedonic price method conclude that by adopting a two-stage estimation
procedure an 1% increase in the level of PM10 reduced property prices in the study area by 0.32%.
Marginal implicit price for reducing PM10 is Rp 957,900.00. The households are willing to pay an
additional amount of 1.34 percent for a reduction in PM10 by 1%.
