废弃采石场的恢复可以减轻环境破坏的影响，并可以满足改善城市中心生活质量的社会需求。然而，填海的效益往往在评估程序中被忽视，因为这些效益很难估计，至少在货币方面是如此。本文采用环境经济学的框架，探讨了修复工程的经济价值。该调查是基于条件价值评估法（CVM），作为一个案例研究，在希腊雅典市中心的一个废弃的采石场。据估计，雷区的娱乐活动产生了重要的经济价值，这与居民的喜好有关。研究结果提供了定量信息，可用于以有益的方式来证明环境政策，并提供额外的政府资金对环境处理的污染土地。
Rehabilitation of abandoned quarry sites could alleviate the effects of environmental dereliction and could meet the social demand for improvement of the quality of life in urban centers. Nevertheless, reclamation benefits are often overlooked in assessment procedures, since they are hard to estimate, at least in monetary terms. This paper examines the economic value of rehabilitation works, using an environmental economics framework. The survey is based on the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM), using as a case study an abandoned quarry site in the center of Athens, Greece. According to the estimates, recreation of the mined area produces an important economic value, which is associated with residents’ preferences. The results provide quantitative information that may be used in a beneficial way to justify environmental policy and to provide additional Government funding towards environmental treatment of derelict land.
