►Open spaces play a crucial role in the life of Open spaces play a crucial role in the life of a city, but are they more important than a city, but are they more important than using the land for residential construction, using the land for residential construction, shopping centers, schools or hospitals?shopping centers, schools or hospitals?
►Comparison can be done by investigating a Comparison can be done by investigating a parcel of land. It requires to assign a parcel of land. It requires to assign a monetary value to the various land uses monetary value to the various land uses

TCMTCM► Travel cost method Travel cost method is a method of measuring the is a method of measuring the
use value (UV) of an environmental amenity by use value (UV) of an environmental amenity by using the costs that individuals pay to travel to using the costs that individuals pay to travel to the site, a proxy for the price of the amenity.the site, a proxy for the price of the amenity.
► In our case no monetary expenses for travel In our case no monetary expenses for travel exist, just time spent in walking and on the siteexist, just time spent in walking and on the site
► Demand curve for the environmental amenity Demand curve for the environmental amenity can be constructedcan be constructed by simulating changes in by simulating changes in entrance fees.entrance fees.
► The area under the demand curve, the consumer The area under the demand curve, the consumer surplus, estimates the benefits of the good.surplus, estimates the benefits of the good.
