Abstract

Kavir National Park, 420000 ha of Iran arid and semi-arid Rangelands, located 50 Km far from south of Tehran. According to Conflicting concepts of traditional animal husbandry in protected area, this study has been done to determine economic benefit of TOURISM in the framework of multiple-use of Rangelands. TRAVEL-COST Method (TCM) has been applied to estimate the economic benefit of the park area. Closed-answer Questionnaires has been used to collect TC data and to extract TCM essential components. First of all, the surrounding region of the park has been classified into 5 concentric sub-regions, according to travel costs statistical analysis and related travel departures. Then the visitor's demand function has been estimated, using average travel costs against number of the visitors per 100 thousands of residents from the sub-region. Using the demand function and establishing an assumed entrance fee, number of expected visitors has been estimated in the fees, started from 5000 Rial up to 170000 Rial. Then, new demand functions established on the basis of the assumed entrance fees against the expected number of visitors on weekends, both for all visitors and the visitors just from Tehran. ECONOMIC VALUE has been estimated by calculating integral of the later demand functions, is about 23668000 Rial and 31808500 Rial for the all visitors and the visitors from Tehran, respectively. These are about 12.5 and 16.6 Rial per ha per year respectively. The method is very simple while it presents a quantitative index to valuate economic benefits, from natural land. Also, it is recommended to employ "Willingness to Pay" and "Opportunity Cost" Method to valuate economic benefits of natural Rangelands.
