Aim of the study

This is an empirical study to find the main issueswith Calicut beach

Also, an attempt is made to apply ContingentValuation Method (CVM) to the Calicut beach by

asking people how much they are willing to payfor use of beach area.

Thus an economic value is assigned for the beachand dollar value of the total benefits to allcitizens is quantified.

Contingent valuation is a survey-based economictechnique

used for valuation of non-market resources

referred to as a stated preference model, in

contrast to a price-based revealed preferencemodel


7/23


Many economists questioned the use of statedpreference to determine willingness to pay for agood

A panel was constituted which recommended

1. Personal meetings be used to conduct thesurvey, as opposed to telephone methods.

2. Respondents be given detailed information onthe resource in question and on the protectionmeasure they were voting on.

Steps taken by MunicipalCorporation

Main problem faced by them is Multiplicity ofControl

State Government, Tourism Department is incharge of beach beautification plans

Municipal Corp. is in charge of daily maintenanceKerala Coastal Zone Management Authority

Fisheries Department

Special events

Collect 36% of the price of admission asentertainment tax

Plastics thinner than 30 microns are prohibited

5-6 cleaners are assigned who clean daily once

Cleaning of concrete pavement only not the sandarea of the beach

Between 2004-06, a model solid waste

management program was implemented with aproject outlay of Rs 2 lakh.

For the sewage from beach hospital, a sewageproject is to be implemented under KeralaSustainable Urban Development Project by ADB

Started segregating Bio-degradable and Non-biodegradable wastes

CRZ Regulation

coastal stretches within 500 meters of high tideline on the landward side are classified into fourcategories.

CRZ-II covers areas that have already been well

developed with all infrastructure laid out orwithin urban and municipal limits.

No new constructions on the seaward side of theroad can come up here and

Calicut beach falls under CRZ-II area and hence

no new constructions on seaward side areallowed.

Applications

The Exxon Valdez oil spill was the first casewhere contingent valuation surveys were used ina quantitative assessment of damages.

Suppose a private party or accident damages the

beach beyond repair then the above dollar valuewill give an estimate what the governmentshould charge the private party

This will be a conservative estimate as onlystated preference is taken into account


22/23

Recommendations

Awareness campaign to keep the city beach cleanshould be regularly initiated

Paid public toilet should be created

Boards should be there discouraging littering andencouraging to keep city clean

Dustbins should be there at every 100 meters

Three drains which come to beach should be

diverted away from the commercial beach area.

Drains shouldnt enter the beach untreated.

Each vendor and shop should have its own dustbin

Fine collection should be initiated with the helpof Calicut Police
