Abstract

Research regarding economicvaluation of mangrove forest in Taman Ayu Village, West Lombok Regency has been conducted. The purposes of this research were to calculate and analyze economic value of benefit from mangrove foresteco system. Collecting data was conducted through observations and interviews. Results of direct benefit economic value wereobtained fromdirect exploitation by local comunity. Direct value benefit of mangrove forest were Rp. 227.040.000/year. Indirect value benefit obtained frome cosystem service of mangrove forest with a value Rp.1.405.041.200/year. Existence value benefit was obtained by using method of CVM (Contingent Valuation Method)with a value Rp. 1.520.000/year. Option value benefit was obtained from biodiversity value with a valuewere Rp.1.200.000/year. Total Economic Value (TEV) of forest mangrove in Taman Ayu Village were Rp. 1.634.801.200/year.

Summary

Introduction

Mangrove damage in Indonesia, one of which occurs on the island of Lombok [3, 4]. Mangroves are considered as valuable land that does not provide any economic benefits. The community does not realize that the presence of mangroves can provide a large economic value compared to its destruction [8]. These economic values can be obtained from the value of direct benefits, indirect benefits, option values and existence values [911]. The option values of mangroves can provide economic benefits such as genetic resources [13]. The purposes of this research are to calculate and analyze the economic value of benefits from mangrove forest ecosystem
