pay for environmental quality improvement in Van Phuc handicraft village - Ha Dong - Ha Noi using the contingent valuation method According to the survey result, Van Phuc handicraft village is affecting by the environmental pollution Moreover, the environmental pollution in Van Phuc handicraft village often contaminated by the waste, mostly comes from handicraft village activities and industrial activities However, the villagers are aware of the environmental pollution in the locality and willing to pay money for environmental improvement On average, 88.3% of the households are willing to pay for improved environmental quality and the average of willingness to pay is 227.641 VND/household/year The willingness to pay of villager affected by education level, income, occupation and the amount of household members In particular, amount of household member has the clearest impact to the willingness to pay of people living in Van Phuc handicraft village d oa nl w oi lm ul nf va

INTRODUCTION RATIONALE Van Phuc handicraft village has a long tradition of weaving, with over 700 establishments involved in the silk production Moreover, there are more than 22 establishments have responsibility for bleaching and dyeing for the entire village every day In the early years of the 90s, traditional looms crafts were replaced by industrial lu looms, making the production increased several times in comparison with the textile an craft Along with to the immediate benefits, it also has long-term effects on the health va n of people Typical of these are rancid noise pollution tn to ie gh In the past, the artists often use dyes or bleaches made of plants, leaves, flowers p or fruits Today, villagers are using chemical materials instead of folk materials The nl w main materials are silk ranked by category and woven fabric Specifically, polyester, d oa cotton and fibers mixed with PE/Co are used for weaving coarse, towel, gauze… In the an lu process of weaving, dyeing and printing, villagers use a lot of chemicals, dyes such as: ul nf va Javen, CH3COOH, H2S, acid dyes, sulfur dyes (rock, Na2S), direct dyes and a lot of oi lm water The hazardous waste is being discharged into the environment directly without going through any remedial measures, including the use of rudimentary filtering tank z at nh The BOD and COD in the effluent discharged from Van Phuc village hundreds of z times higher than the standard allow The amount of untreated wastewater production @ l gm and domestic wastewater directly flows into Nhue River Another factor that m co contributes to environmental pollution as components in silk, by the stage of bleaching an Lu which emit 25% impurities, meter of silk with the weight of 80 grams discharges 20 grams of water contaminants… It is evidenced that, in the village of weaving, dyeing n va ac th si the common diseases of the respiratory tract is 10 - 20%, 10-20% of eye diseases, 1030% of gynecological diseases, and 10- 20% of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract The noise pollutant also is a big problem in Van Phuc village, the observation noise results measured at Van Phuc is 100 dB The noise mainly generated by operating textile and strand machines, the collision of the wheel spindle and fiber to fiber tube The need of improving environmental conditions in Van Phuc handicraft village has become essential and critical lu an In this regard, the concept of willingness to pay (WTP) and contingent valuation va n method (CVM) are used WTP is an important concept of economic valuation in gh tn to environmental goods The concept is “if good is worth having, then it is the maximum p ie amount that a person state they are willing to pay for a good (DFID, 1997)” This principle is conceptually simple and intuitive, even if not always easy to undertake, nl w d oa and its theoretical foundations can be located in conventional economic theory As an lu WTP values benefits in monetary terms, outcomes are comparable across all principles nf va and are directly commensurate with costs By way of precedent, environmental oi lm ul economists have already found the approach helpful in quantifying gains and losses in circumstances where, for whatever reason, market prices cannot be assigned to z at nh economic activities (Emma J Frew, et al 2005) The concept extends to z environmental resources like water quality and natural resources like trees The key @ l gm assumption is that environmental values are anthropogenic Whatever people evaluate the environment is worth is what it is worth Economic methods can be used to attach m co estimates of willingness to pay to changes in the level of environmental quality and an Lu natural resource use The use of the willingness-to-pay (WTP) technique as a means of n va ac th si - The more of household members, the decrease of willingness to pay, or the amount of household member is inversely proportional to with the WTP - The differences between careers also affect the WTP, this study compared the differences between the handicraft/weaving and other job And the results showed that the handicraft/weaving willingness to pay is lower than other job However, the study did not show how the age and gender influence the WTP for environmental services for people in Van Phuc Handicraft village, may be due to lu an sample size is not large enough There are four statistically significant variables were va n found, as well as one of the basis for the propose solutions to improve the quality, gh tn to protection and development of environmental resources in Van Phuc Handicraft p ie village 3.3 POLICY RECOMMENDATONS AND IMPLICATIONS nl w d oa Sustainable development is a common vision for the development of the country, an lu including craft villages Sustainable development has been confirmed in the nf va industrialization and modernization policies of the country For rural craft oi lm ul development, sustainable development has been confirmed in the Decree No 66/2006/ND-CP dated 07 July 2006 of the government This policy should be z at nh translated into development policies and implementation measures Craft villages z should develop sustainably and contribute to economic development, provide jobs, @ improve rural environment m co l gm contribute to poverty alleviation and hunger eradication, guarantee social welfare and Focus on sustainable development policy in craft villages: production an Lu development needs to take into consideration environmental protection and n va ac th 59 si improvement, ensure that the environment is not sacrificed for short-term profits and production benefits need to contribute to/with environmental protection activities Responsibilities of stakeholders include: - Develop and propose mechanisms and policies on promoting rural crafts and environmental protection (MARD will be focal point); - Develop mechanisms and policies that enable craft village enterprises to have preferential loans for production development, applying environmentally friendly lu an technologies and cleaner production techniques, treatment technologies for waste va n water, emission and solid wastes (MoF); to gh tn - Develop more detailed financial support policies for craft village zones to build p ie wastewater treatment plants and landfill (MoF); - Research on environmentally friendly technologies, suitable waste treatment nl w d oa technologies and transfer to enterprises (MoST); an lu - Explore outlets for craft products for promoting exports such as pottery, wood, nf va rattan, silk etc (Ministry of Industry and Trade) oi lm ul Following the result of this study, we also have specific recommends to attack people to participate in environmental services by strengthening/weakening the z at nh affecting factor of WTP: z 3.5.6 Improving the education and raising the awareness of the people @ l gm The research result showed that the education level affects the willingness to pay of people In Van Phuc handicraft village, education stands at average 9.4 years, m co corresponding to the rank of junior high school So we proposed a number of measures an Lu to improve the education level of people in Van Phuc handicraft village as follow: n va ac th 60 si * Building various types of training in order to improve education: -Encouraging to open the public school, semi-public and private school -Education and vocational but focusing not only on learning to have a degree, but also guide students to choose appropriate careers in the case of not want or cannot afford to learn more -Expanding the charitable classes to attack poor people cannot afford to go to school lu an -Expanding the learning while working, enabling them not only to have more n va income while attending school or learning culture with vocational training, but also to after graduation * Improving the teaching quality : p ie gh tn to attract more students to participate, in order to create more job opportunities students oa nl w -Improving the number of schools meeting the national standards, encouraging the emulation movement of good teaching, good learning throughout the city, there are d lu va an adequate incentives for collective and individual achievements in teaching *Villagers need to know about the Mandatory regulations and law enforcement! ul nf oi lm 3.5.7 Increasing people income and their living standards After all, we know that the income is the most influential factor to the z at nh willingness to pay of people and income proportional to the WTP It means that when z income increases, people would be willing to spend some more money to improve @ l gm habitat quality or WTP increases Normally in practice, the low-income families are less interested in environmental issues and particularly on environmental issues as m co presented above Thus, increasing the income of the people is necessary, so we an Lu proposed a number of measures to improve the peoples’ income as follow: n va ac th 61 si -Restructuring the sector towards industrialization-modernization, building a comprehensive rural structure and reasonable, increasing the proportion of industrial sectors and services, reducing the proportion of agriculture and promote local strengths Attracting investment projects, construction of industrial parks, open vocational training courses - Technological improvement and introduction of modern technology in textile processing to villagers also is a necessary way to improve the income lu an - Stepping up the alleviation of poverty va n 3.5.8 Strengthening the population - family planning to gh tn With a slogan “Stop at children for better upbringing” to encouraging families p ie in better performing the family planning - The communication and education should focus on the rural class, small nl w d oa traders, housewives, especially the youth class an lu - Schools should bring the family planning into the education, because of nf va children are the future foundation of the country oi lm ul 3.5.9 Propagating measures in various forms to people There are a lot of people not know the payments for environmental services z at nh and how necessary it is to improve the environmental around them So the payments z for environmental services need to be disseminated to people in various ways We @ l gm have to actively propagate in different forms such measures as through television, newspapers, radio, internet and communicating to people-to-door if possible m co an Lu n va ac th 62 si CONCLUSION Finding out the status of payments for environmental services in Van Phuc handicraft village shows us that the environment needs to be protected from the current state of the current recession According to field survey, we found that the environmental situation at Van Phuc is pretty bad The environmental pollution in the village is often contaminated by the lu waste, mostly come from handicraft village activities and industrial activities The an n va environmental already had a direct and indirect impact on the lives and health of respiratory infections, bronchitis, pneumonia, diarrhea…Thus, the question is we must ie gh tn to people The disease that which people live in area often have is: skin diseases, p have the appropriate solutions to reduce the consequences of environmental pollution; w development d oa nl and to improve and enhance environmental quality with the aim of sustainable lu va an However, the people lived in Van Phuc handicraft village already have their own ul nf awareness about the current environmental status of the village and they are willing to oi lm pay money for environmental improvement The obtained results over the study z at nh showed that the average willingness to pay for environmental services of people live in Van Phuc handicraft village is 201.083VND/household/year The factor that affecting z gm @ WTP includes: age, education level, income, number of household members, Gender, m co l and Occupation of the interviewee In particular factors: education level, income, occupation and number of household members have significantly influenced to WTP an Lu By learning about the WTP to improve environmental quality by means of CVM n va shows that the usability of CVM in improved environmental issues are less hampered ac th 63 si when carried out, because people understand the unpredictable consequences that may occur if the environmental conditions continues to be polluted; and hypothetical situations in the study were consistent with the fact that people of Van Phuc handicraft village are facing Then, we may have the improvement measures to avoid the regrettable consequences may occur In particular income has the most obvious influence on the willingness to pay of the people From the results of research and analysis, the study has proposed a number lu an of measures to strengthening the attraction of people to participate in payments for va n environmental service in Van Phuc handicraft Although the given contribution is gh tn to different, more or less, there are still some people who not agree to pay, but also p ie showed that the majority of people is already realized the importance of the environment, recognize the need to something to contribute to protecting natural nl w d oa resources, improving environmental quality nf va such as: an lu Although we have obtained certain results, but the topic still has some limitation oi lm ul - Due the limited length of conduct so the study sample size is not large enough to reflect more accurately the factors that affecting people’s WTP So, inevitably the z at nh wrong number of research results is high z - The CVM still has some limited and process of crawler has faced many @ l gm difficulties due to people are not familiar with the way of investigation, cannot properly understand the question asked when hypothetical situations are given m co Just like ourselves who asked have not experienced, so there is still some an Lu unavoidable flaws n va ac th 64 si - Otherwise, the regression model only implemented in the form of a linear model, not yet taking into nonlinear models With this study, we hope that environmental issues should be considered comprehensively, assessed fairly and reasonably Especially those resources without regenerating From there, people will become more aware of preserving and protecting the environment, especially in the mining and sustainable use lu an n
