Exploring Spatial Sources of Preference Heterogeneity for Landslide Protection
通过意大利山谷的陈述偏好调查，研究个人和空间因素如何影响人们对山体滑坡保护的偏好差异，对灾害政策制定者有用。
This paper explores the sources of preference heterogeneity for landslide protection, with a special focus on spatial determinants. The data were collected using a stated preference survey of landslide hazards in an Italian mountain valley, using a best-worst ranking approach, in-person interviews, and site-specific choice sets. Preference heterogeneity is analyzed using individual and spatial variables with a focus on the importance of geographical characteristics, spatial error components, and landslide locational effects. Results from spatial choice models reveal the importance of accounting for spatial heterogeneity at different levels, given that taste variations were present at both individual and municipality levels.
