Abstract:
The effectiveness and sustainability of eco-compensation policy implementation are essential to ecosystem service protection. However, a purely subjective standpoint causes deviations from the compensation benchmark, while decision-making based solely on an objective standpoint fails to offer a profound understanding of local stakeholder conflicts. Therefore, local authorities find it difficult to set reasonable and effective eco-compensation implementation standards. An assessment framework for eco-compensation, defined as the subjective-objective combination analysis (SOCA), which considers both the subjective and objective positions of stakeholders is proposed. Focusing on a typical eco-compensation case, "Returning Tea to Forest", a compensation range is finally quantified from $443/ha to $2114/ha per year using the SOCA framework. SOCA quantification from multiple perspectives optimized the eco-compensation benchmark determinations and the eco-protection decision-making process.
