摘要：Traditional extensive agriculture is the main factor of landscape
management in the mountains: a large part of the Alps is modelled by
agriculture. Interpreted as a multifunctional activity, including landscape
modelling and maintenance, agriculture generates the conditions under
which mountain pasture landscape is an economic resource potentially
exploitable by tourism. The aim of this work is to draw the profiles of
tourists of mountain pastures and to estimate their Willingness to Pay
(WTP) for landscape pastures resilience. The innovation of this work lies
in the use of a multivariate approach using Contingent Valuation Method
(CVM), Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) and Hierarchical Cluster
Analysis (HCA). The analysis obtained three clusters that identify different
tourists’ profiles. The main result is the existence of a positiveWTP for
the permanence of pasture systems with an agricultural management.
Policy guidelines have been proposed to institutions owning pastures
and huts to manage these assets.
