Contingent valuation methods (CVM) are being used increasingly; they employ a direct method of valuing benefits associated with parks and protected areas. The method consists of surveying selected populations to ask individuals what they are willing to pay (WTP) for the environmental good being assessed or what they are willing to accept as compensation (WTA) for the loss of the environmental good. The "environmental good" must be defined by the surveyor and frequently involves a bundle of goods such as access to a protected area (for compatible uses), specific recreational activities, or experiences associated with a visit to a protected area. 1, record 7, English, - contingent%20valuation%20method

Le but des méthodes économiques d'évaluation de l'environnement est de suppléer au marché en révélant les préférences des individus à travers un marché "vert", vrai ou hypothétique. Les unes travaillent directement, par exemple par questionnaire - c'est le cas de la Contingent Valuation Methode (CVM), ou méthode des "enchères". Les autres interviennent indirectement, c'est-à-dire par le biais de quelqu'autre révélateur des préférences, par exemple par le biais du prix de certains biens sur le marché dont l'environnement est considéré comme un attribut. 2, record 7, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20d%27%C3%A9valuation%20des%20contingences
