Abstract

Population growth and the spread of science and technology have led to the removal of natural resources from natural sources of danger to the environment. The natural resources of each country are one of the major infrastructures of its economic development, and this is especially true in developing countries. Sustainable management of natural and semi-natural ecosystems requires adequate information on the economic value of ecosystem services. Economic valuation of ecosystem services is aimed at preventing the destruction and unnecessary utilization of natural resources and modifying and modifying the national computing system. The purpose of this study is to estimate the value of environmental capital of Ben in 201. In this study, in order to calculate the relative value of environmental capital markets, alternative methods of cost-effective engineering and cost of opportunity and to estimate the economic value of non-market capitalization of the environment through the conditional valuation method, utilizing the approach of the proposed preferences and the model Logit is used. Data needed in this study include statistics and information recorded in the provincial departments, as well as completion of 554 two-dimensional double-choice questionnaires in Ben in 2016. The non-market values of this city were divided into two sections: recreational and recreational areas.The results of the study showed that recreation and conservation value of the region was estimated using the conditional valuation method, 37727/96 and 30420/02 million and the market value was estimated using the opportunity cost method of 3307107/16 million million rials. The total value of the environmental capital of the city was 3375255/14 million rials in 2016, which represents the minimum value of the investment of politicians in the region.
