随着国际捕鲸委员会（IWC）将注意力转移到保护鲸鱼和观鲸上，日本最近退出了IWC，恢复商业捕鲸。与日本政府和捕鲸业的决心相反，日本公民对捕鲸的重视程度以及哪些人特别重视捕鲸，目前尚不清楚。在本研究中，我们将有序logit模型应用于条件评估调查，以获得继续捕鲸的支付意愿（WTP）和放弃捕鲸的WTP。我们将支付更高金额的可能性与社会人口因素联系起来。我们发现对捕鲸的支持可能是不可持续的，因为老一辈表现出更多的支持，而家庭表现出较少的热情。在反对捕鲸的人群中，女性个体更愿意付出代价，受教育程度越高，终止捕鲸的WTP就越高。我们还强调了日本公民对捕鲸和不捕鲸价值观偏好的空间异质性。特别是，在利用和消费鲸鱼资源方面，地方文化和历史的差异可能造成对捕鲸的空间异质性支持。通过热点分析，我们发现WTP继续捕鲸的热点集中在那些不再从事捕鲸活动，但对鲸鱼身体的每一部分都有长期利用历史的地区。
As the International Whaling Commission (IWC) has been shifting its attention to the conservation of whales and whale watching, Japan recently withdrew from the IWC to resume commercial whaling. In contrast to the determination of the Japanese government and the whaling industry, how much Japanese citizens value whaling and who particularly values whaling is unclear. In this study, we apply an ordered logit model to a contingent valuation survey to derive willingness to pay (WTP) to continue whaling and WTP to abandon whaling. We associate the likelihood of paying higher amounts with sociodemographic factors. We find that the support for whaling may be unsustainable, as older generations exhibit more support and family households display less enthusiasm. Among the anti-whaling population, female individuals are more willing to pay, and more education leads to a higher WTP for the termination of whaling. We also highlight the spatial heterogeneity of Japanese citizens’ preference for values of whaling and not whaling. In particular, spatially heterogeneous support for whaling can result from local cultural and historical differences in the utilization and consumption of whale resources. Using hot spot analysis, we found that hot spots for WTP to continue whaling cluster in areas that are no longer active in whaling but have a long history of utilizing every part of whale bodies.
