Article Synopsis
- Urban rivers play a significant role in influencing housing values and homebuyers' decisions in modern cities, attracting interest from various stakeholders.
- This study focuses on Guangzhou, China, analyzing how different river attributes impact homebuyers' utilities using advanced modeling techniques.
- Findings show that while proximity to rivers is valued for its natural appeal, the pollution of river water negatively affects property prices and perceptions of riverfront locations, suggesting that riparian improvements could enhance overall real estate values.
Attribute non-attendance (ANA) in discrete choice experiment (DCE) exercises has attracted increasing, yet limited, scholarly attention. This paper attempts to investigate ANA in a comparative case study, with a focus on its patterns and their association with socioeconomic, behavioral and perceptual factors, as well as its impacts on willingness-to-pay (WTP) estimates. We deploy a four-level polytomous scale (always, often, seldom, and never considered) for respondents to state their various degrees of attribute attendance (SANA) in an identical DCE questionnaire about urban river restoration initiatives in two global cities with contrast socioeconomic contexts, yet similar request for restoring polluted and modified urban rivers, Guangzhou (south China) and Brussels (Belgium).
