Abstract


With the rapid economic development and urbanization process accelerated, the requirements in residential green spaces and associated landscape elements are more instance. As the important component of the urban ecosystem, urban lakes are playing a more and more important role in the city development. Due to their non-commodity and unpriced nature, and largely intangible benefits, their contribution is usually difficult to assess and quantify. Their importance to the well-being of cities and citizens is often neglected in mainstream urban planning and policy making related to development. To make informed polices and decisions about green space and environmental improvement, assessment of their benefits and values is essential.As an important approach to the non-market valuation of environment and resources, Hedonic Pricing Method has been widely used in analyzing the relationship between the bundles of housing characteristics and market value. Since Rosen and Lancaster established a foundation of the hedonic pricing theory in 1960s’, numerous hedonic studies investigate into the amenity value of non-market environmental goods. As we know, housing is sold as a package of inherent attributes, and the price of a house is the sum of all its marginal and implicit prices estimated by HPM. Accordingly, consumers’ house choices indicate their willingness-to-pay and preferences to different housing amenities. Due to the diversities of urban landscapes, some methods have been developed to evaluate the non-market value.This study explored the impacts of key environmental elements on residential housing value in Nanjing Mo Chou Lake, which include location attributes, structure attributes and neighborhood attributes. According to the empirical results based on 190 samples, we conclude that the view of MoChou Lake increased the price of the apartment by 12.81% on average. This paper also demonstrates that hedonic price method could be successfully applied in the context of developing countries. In addition, the result also shows that not only real estate developers but also policy makers should pay much attention to the value-added due to landscape, so that to guarantee the benefits can be captured correctly and distributed fairly.
