چکیده

هدف اصلی این پژوهش بررسی اثرات کرونا بر تمایل به پرداخت افراد در جهت حفظ محیط‌زیست در دوران کرونا و پس از آن می‌باشد. برای محاسبة میانگین تمایل به پرداخت افراد برای حفظ محیط‌زیست در دوران کرونا و پس از آن از روش ارزشگذاری مشروط استفاده شد. همچنین، از روش رگرسیون لجستیک برای به‌دست آوردن عوامل مؤثر بر تمایل به پرداخت استفاده شد. تعداد 228 پرسشنامه به روش در دسترس و به‌صورت آنلاین تهیه و مورد تجزیه‌و‌تحلیل قرار گرفته است. با توجه به نتایج، 10/53 درصد از افراد حاضر به پرداخت مبلغی برای حفاظت از محیط‌زیست نبوده‌اند. اما 35/96درصد از افراد تمایل بالایی برای پرداخت مبالغ بالاتر در راستای حفاظت از محیط‌زیست در دوران کرونا و پس از آن را داشتند. همچنین نتایج نشان داد که ارزش حفاظت از محیط‌زیست در دوران کرونا و پس از آن برای فردی که به کرونا مبتلا شده است ماهانه 3988663/9ریال و برای فردی که کرونا را تجربه نکرده است ماهانه 278641/1ریال برآورد گردیده است که این مسئله بیانگر افزایش 43/14درصدی مقدار انتظار متوسط تمایل به پرداخت جهت حفاظت از محیط‌زیست برای فرد مبتلا شده به کرونا است. این مسئله حاکی از آن است که هنگامی که افراد در شرایط تهدید از طرف محیط‌زیست قرار می‌گیرند، می‌توانند تمایل بیشتری جهت حفاظت از آن نشان دهند بنابراین ارزش‌های محیط‌زیست بر مبنای پرداخت‌های محیط‌زیستی، بیش از آن چیزی است که افراد در حالت معمول ارائه می‌دهند. از دیگر متغیرهایی که بر تمایل به پرداخت افراد تأثیرگذار بوده است می‌توان به متغیرهای سن، متغیر تعداد مصرف ماسک در ماه، و متغیر ضدعفونی کردن دست‌ها اشاره کرد که در سطح 1 درصد و با علامت منفی معنی‌دار شده‌اند. در نهایت می‌توان گفت دوران کرونا دورانی بوده است که توجه انسان‌ها را به اهمیت اثرات محیط‌زیست بر زندگی انسان‌ها و برعکس، جلب کرده است. بنابراین پیشنهاد می‌شود که با استفاده از نتایج این مطالعه بیان شود که ارزش حفاظت از محیط‌ زیست در شرایط تهدید می‌تواند تا نزدیک به 50 درصد افزایش پیدا کند و اهمیت این مسئله بایستی از طریق آموزش و تبلیغات برای افراد جامعه عنوان شود که از این طریق آگاهی آنان نیز افزایش یابد.

چکیده [English]

The main purpose of this research is to investigate the effects of Corona on people's willingness to pay to protect the environment during Corona and after. Conditional valuation method was used to calculate the average willingness of people to pay to protect the environment during the corona era and after. Also, the logistic regression method was used to obtain factors affecting willingness to pay. 228 questionnaires have been prepared and analyzed an accessible and online. According to the results, 10.53% of people were not willing to pay for environmental protection. But 35.96% of people had a high desire to pay higher amounts in order to protect the environment during the corona era and after. Also The results showed that the value of protecting the environment during the Corona era and after it was estimated at 398,866.9 Rials per month for a person who was infected with Corona and 278,641.1 Rials per month for a person who did not experience Corona. From the increase of 14.43 percent, the average expected value is the willingness to pay for the protection of the environment for a person infected with Corona. This issue indicates that when people are under threat from the environment, they can show a greater desire to protect it. And therefore, environmental values ​​based on environmental payments are more than what people usually provide. And therefore, environmental values based on environmental payments are more than what people usually provide. Other variables that have influenced people's willingness to pay include age variables, the number of masks used per month, and the hand disinfection variable, which are significant at the 1% level with a negative sign. Finally, it can be said that the era of Corona has been an era that has drawn people's attention to the importance of the effects of the environment on human life and vice versa. Therefore, it is suggested to use the results of this study to state that the value of protecting the environment under threat conditions can increase by nearly 50% and the importance of this issue should be stated through education and advertising for the people of the society. To increase their awareness.
