Abstract

U ovom istraživanju koristi se metod uslovnog vrednovanja (CV) kako bi se ispitale preferencije/stavovi ispitanika vezano za efikasnije upravljanje kvalitetom vazduha kroz smanjenje emisija gasova iz motornih vozila u gradu Najrobi u Keniji. Sistem platne kartice (PC) kao poboljšanji oblik upitnika olakšava proces vrednovanja stavova ispitanika u cilju određivanja medijane i srednje vrednosti koju su ispitanici voljni da plate kako bi doprineli poboljšanju kvaliteta vazduha u gradu. Primenom regresione analize ustanovljeno je da su ispitanici spremni da plate Kshs. 396.57 ($4.67) i srednju vrednost od Kshs. 244.94 ($2.88) kako bi se poboljšao kvalitet vazduha u gradu. Primetno je da su ove vrednosti u porastu kod pripadnika muške populacije, osoba sa većim primanjima, izvesnim prihodima na duži vremenski period i osoba koje žive u urbanom području, dok njihova vrednost opada sa godinama, udaljenošću od obližnjih puteva, i upotrebom motornih vozila. Generalno posmatrano, ovo istraživanje ukazuje na ogromnu podršku javnosti kada je reč o unapređenju kvaliteta vazduha u gradu, što je od presudnog značaja za efikasan razvoj i sprovođenje programa upravljanja kvalitetom vazduha.
