Choice of River Basin Ecological Compensation Standard Method for Determining Based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process

Abstract:

Research of river basin ecological compensation standard started in the late 90s, there are seven methods to determine river basin ecological compensation standard at present,such as market value method, willingness to pay (WTP) method, land use type area calculation method, opportunity cost method, cost analysis method, income loss method, the total cost of the amendment method . This paper uses the analytic hierarchy process (AHP)on the basis of full consideration to watershed ecosystem services value, the ecological protection and construction costs and the downstream willingness and ability to pay, combined with the characteristics of simulant river basin,obtained a conclusion:For a specific analog watershed, the optimal ecological standard method for determining is the total cost of correction method.Meanwhile this will be generalized to other basins.
