Abstract

Among the environmental impacts that economic activities have on the environment either in production or consumption, stand to degradation and destruction of environmental goods and services that can not be analyzed using traditional economic theory. Given the scope of the functions of nature, understood as environmental goods and services, the objective is to value environmental goods and services in order to obtain the willingness to pay (WTP) from an additional fee to be charged in the rate of water , the inhabitants of Ipês Gardens neighborhood in Cuiabá Mato Grosso, the permanent preservation areas (APPs) of Rio Coxipó, should it be a market valuation of APP. For this, a direct valuation method, specifically the contingent valuation method (CVM), which is applied to those goods or services not yet available in the market, through hypothetical questions people about their willingness to pay (WTP) was used to preserve environmental resources. With these results, we highlight a good popular support (73.5%) to contribute to the valuation of PPA's with the vast majority depões to contribute with values between ten and twenty reais and thus demonstrates an interest in contributing to the preservation and maintenance of APPs, to an improved quality of life.
