Özet:

 

The aim of this paper is to quantify the willingness to pay for improved air-quality
 in a typical low-income settlement in South Africa by making use of the
 contingent valuation method (CVM). Direct valuation methods or stated
 preferences methods such as CVM are used to value goods that do not have a
 market value i.e. price-quantity data does not exist for such goods. The mean
 WTP to reduce air pollution in Bophelong is approximately R132 per annum. The
 econometric analysis found that most parameters had their expected sign. WTP
 was found to be positively correlated with employment status and income. Males
 were however, found to be less likely to have a positive WTP than their female
 counterparts. Household size was also found to be negatively correlated with
 WTP.
