Outline of Final Research Achievements

It is important for the conservation polity to implement the value of biodiversity. However, non-market valuation of biodiversity might be difficult due to the heterogeneity of individual preferences. This research focuses on the deliberative valuation which estimates the value of the environmental resources using the dialogue and discussion on the valuation targets. We analyzed the process of the value formation for the biodiversity conservation in discussion to others and considered the application of our proposed valuation methods to the environmental policy.
