In economic evaluation of the impacts of global warming on non-marketed goods or services, generally the Hedonic Price Method, Travel Cost Method or Contingent Valuation Method are used. However, because of the huge costs involved in applying these methods, utilization of the results of established research is recommendable on the basis of consideration of benefit transfer. There is no guarantee at all, however, of adjustability between individual values and overall values in measuring the economic value of plural impact items, because the economic value of each impact item is measured individually in the results of established research. This research aims to calculate a control total for managing adjustability between individual values and overall values in each field, and attempts to classify residential environments into four large fields and sixteen sub-fields and apply a conjoint analysis based on a questionnaire survey.
