Abstract

Abstract: With a special focus on Jiangkou County in Guizhou Province, this paper explored the ecological compensation standards and compensation methods of local key public welfare forest protected area by using questionnaire and contingent valuation method. The results showed that the minimum compensation which the local foresters could accept was 314.14-365.15 yuan·hm^-2 per year, and the opportunity cost was 9750 yuan multiplied by the protected forest area. The willingness to accept of foresters was affected by many factors, such as health status, education level, ethnicity and local township. The compensation methods local foresters expected were various, but mainly were cash and technology compensation. Finally, this paper put forward some policy suggestions on improving system, increasing compensation standards, strengthening propaganda, and enriching compensation methods.

Key words: public welfare forest, compensation standard, ecological compensation, compensation method.
