Abstract

The city of Quanzhou city was investigated by CVM and Logistic model. The results show that the average willingness to pay is RMB 110.7/year. Six factors, including the length of registered residence, the length of residence, the income of the residents, the degree of understanding of the construction of Quanzhou’s ecological civilization city, and the influence of the public on the ecological civilization’s influence on their own lives, have a significant impact on the willingness to pay. Gender, age and occupation have little effect on willingness to pay.
