过去四十年来，印度南部土著人民的斗争集中在土地权利的一般政治问题上。然而，最近的斗争被明确描述为不仅争取获得耕种土地，而且还争取对地块的正式个人所有权。以此为出发点，进行了一项研究，目的是利用条件估值法，评估喀拉拉邦土著人民为获得管理权和个人土地所有权的支付意愿。该地区存在两种类型的土地市场：adivasi土地市场和一般土地市场。adivasi土地市场不完善，交易仅限于土著人口内部。这项研究表明，土著人民愿意支付高于现有市场价格的价格购买adivasi土地。获得adivasi土地正式管理权的支付意愿估计为现有一般土地市场价格的20.75%，而获得正式所有权的支付意愿为32.63%。
Indigenous people's struggles in South India for the last four decades have been centred on the general politics of land rights. However, struggles in the recent past have been clearly delineated as striving to not merely gain access to land for cultivation, but also to claim formal individual titles to parcels of land. Taking this as the point of departure, a study was undertaken with the objective of assessing the willingness to pay (WTP) for obtaining management rights as well as individual titles to land among the indigenous people in Kerala, using the contingent valuation method (CVM). Two types of land market exist in the region: the adivasi land market and the general land market. The adivasi land market is imperfect and transactions are restricted to within the indigenous population. This study shows that indigenous people are willing to pay a higher amount than the existing market price for adivasi lands. The WTP for obtaining formal management rights for adivasi land is estimated to be 20.75 per cent of the existing general land market price while the WTP for obtaining formal ownership rights is 32.63 per cent.
