Economic Valuation of the Recreational Use of Mae Bonifacia State Park

Rodrigo Lemos Gil, Stepnhanie T M F Nascimento, Roberto A T M E Souza

This study aims to extract monetary values that express the recreational use value of the Mae Bonifacia State Park (PEMB), using the Contingent Valuation and Travel Cost methods. The study was carried out using data collected in the PEMB, which is located in the western region of the municipality of Cuiaba, Mato Grosso, between the geographical coordinates 15 degrees34'44"S and 56 degrees05'16"W, with an area of 77.16 hectares, with the Avenues Miguel Sutil, Senador Filinto Mueller and Rua Corsino do Amarante as its boundaries, using questionnaires. The values obtained using the Travel Cost Method show that visitors to the park are willing to pay the equivalent of 1.84/person/visit to the park. The results obtained using the Contingent Valuation Method show that 63% of those interviewed would be willing to pay between R$0.50 and R$1.00 to enter the park, 25% between R$1.00 and R$3.00, 5% between R$3.00 and R$5.00.
