The value of urban parks in the city of Turin: an application of the geographically weighted regression

Urban green areas provide a wealth of benefits that range from maintenance of natural ecological processes to air and water management, to ameliorating the well- being of local population. Starting from the concept of Total Economic Value, the paper investigates the method of the Geographically Weig...

description Urban green areas provide a wealth of benefits that range from maintenance of natural ecological processes to air and water management, to ameliorating the well- being of local population. Starting from the concept of Total Economic Value, the paper investigates the method of the Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) to estimate the value of two urban parks in the city of Turin: Dora Park and Valentino Park. The GWR grounds on to the Hedonic Pricing approach and permits to investigate the spatial patterns of the key variables under investigation. The results of the model show that proximity to parks influence positively real estate prices, and that it emerges a positive Willingness To Pay for environmental goods and services such as those provided by urban green areas. Le aree urbane verdi forniscono una serie di benefici che vanno dal mantenimento dei processi ecologici naturali relativi alla risorsa aria e acqua, fino al miglioramento del benessere della popolazione locale. Partendo dal concetto di Valore Economico Totale, il presente lavoro indaga il metodo della regressione geografica ponderata, ‘Geographically Weighted Regression’ (GWR), per stimare il valore di due parchi urbani della città di Torino: il Parco Dora e il Parco del Valentino. La GWR si basa sull’approccio dei prezzi edonici e permette di indagare la variabilità spaziale e delle variabili chiave in esame e il relativo impatto sui prezzi di mercato degli immobili. I risultati del modello mostrano che la prossimità a un parco influenza positivamente i prezzi degli immobili e, conseguentemente, che emerge una Disponibilità a Pagare (DAP) positiva per beni e servizi ambientali quali sono quelli forniti dalle aree verdi urbane.
