Abstract
The evaluation methods of non-market environmental goods are classified roughly into two groups. In this paper, it is proposed that two method apply to evaluation of non-market environmental goods simultaneously. One is travel cost method, another is contingent valuation method. Recreational benefits in Aso crater and Kusasennri area are evaluated by these two methods. Recreational benefits by CVM are evaluatedaround 1, 200yen/trip. Recreational benefits by TCM are evaluated from 1, 322 to 7, 227yen/trip. The evaluation by TCM is larger than the evaluation by CVM theoretically. Therefore, The value, that is 1200yen/trip, is proper evaluation as recreational benefits in this area.
