Sense Of Place: Perth Community Attitude Towards Places Of Significance On The Gnangara Groundwater System, Sorada Tapsuwan, Zoe Leviston, David Tucker
Sense Of Place: Perth Community Attitude Towards Places Of Significance On The Gnangara Groundwater System, Sorada Tapsuwan, Zoe Leviston, David Tucker
Sorada Tapsuwan
Climate change is exacerbating an ever increasing demand on Perth's traditional water sources. One of these water sources is the Gnangara Groundwater System (GGS). Land uses above the Groundwater System directly affects water infiltration and subsequent aquifer recharge and, as such, need to be carefully considered to ensure future water supply security for Perth. Community acceptance has been demonstrated to be an integral component of effective land use planning. The psychological concept of Sense of Place (incorporating the notions of identity, attachment and dependence) can be used to predict intention to accept or reject land use planning decisions. Results from …
A Review Of Social And Economic Drivers Of Community Acceptance And Adoption Of Decentralised Water Systems, Aditi Mankad, Sorada Tapsuwan
A Review Of Social And Economic Drivers Of Community Acceptance And Adoption Of Decentralised Water Systems, Aditi Mankad, Sorada Tapsuwan
Sorada Tapsuwan
The aim of this paper is to highlight key social and economic drivers crucial to understanding community acceptance and adoption of decentralised water systems. The review focused on social science literature pertaining to alternative forms of household water, with an emphasis on research examining decentralised water acceptance. Researchers consistently reported that most communities were open to alternative water sources for domestic applications; however, this was highly dependent upon the level of personal contact with the water. Acceptance and adoption of alternative water technology, such as decentralised systems, was influenced by risk perception, water culture, and threat perception. Motivational drivers were …

Review Of Transportation Choice Researches In Australia: Implications For Sustainable Urban Transport Design, Sorada Tapsuwan, M.S. Iftekhar
Review Of Transportation Choice Researches In Australia: Implications For Sustainable Urban Transport Design, Sorada Tapsuwan, M.S. Iftekhar

In Australia, the transportation sector is the third largest contributor of CO2-e emissions. In order for Australia to meet the ratified target of 5% below 2000 emissions levels by 2020, a number of changes must be put in place. Sustainable transport design allows for more carbon-friendly travelling alternatives in urban and suburban areas where transportation activities mostly occur. In order for the design to be successfully accepted by the community, a good understanding of people's travel behaviour and preferences of transportation mode is required. This paper offers a review of current transportation research in the context of Australia that spans …
A Multivariate Probit Analysis Of Willingness To Pay For Cave Conservation: A Case Study Of Yanchep National Park, Western Australia, Sorada Tapsuwan, Michael Burton, James Perriam
A Multivariate Probit Analysis Of Willingness To Pay For Cave Conservation: A Case Study Of Yanchep National Park, Western Australia, Sorada Tapsuwan, Michael Burton, James Perriam
Sorada Tapsuwan
This study employed the double-bounded dichotomous choice contingent valuation technique along with factor analysis to estimate visitors’ willingness to pay (WTP) for the Yanchep Caves Recovery Project (YCRP). Two payment vehicles were used to elicit WTP, namely, park entry fee and cave entry fee. The main contribution of this paper is the joint estimation of the two payment vehicles using the multivariate probit model by allowing the error terms of the two models to be correlated. Emphasis was given to testing whether parameters of the two bid levels should be constrained and overcoming anchoring bias. The estimated median WTP for …
Capitalized Amenity Value Of Urban Wetlands: A Hedonic Property Price Approach To Urban Wetlands In Perth, Sorada Tapsuwan, Gordon Ingram, Michael Burton, Donna Brennan
Capitalized Amenity Value Of Urban Wetlands: A Hedonic Property Price Approach To Urban Wetlands In Perth, Sorada Tapsuwan, Gordon Ingram, Michael Burton, Donna Brennan

Up to 60 per cent of potable water supplied to Perth, Western Australia, is extracted from the groundwater system that lies below the northern part of the metropolitan area. Many of the urban wetlands are groundwater-dependent and excessive groundwater extraction and climate change have resulted in a decline in water levels in the wetlands. In order to inform decisions on conserving existing urban wetlands, it is beneficial to be able to estimate the economic value of the urban wetlands. Applying the Hedonic Property Price approach to value urban wetlands, we found that distance to the nearest wetland and the number …
Using Treated Wastewater To Save Wetlands Impacted By Climate Change And Pumping, Don J. Mcfarlane, Anthony Smith, Elise Bekele, John Simpson, Sorada Tapsuwan

Wetlands occur where the watertable which underlies much of Perth intersects the land surface. Regional groundwater levels have been falling since the 1970s as a result of lower rainfall and increased extraction causing a loss of environmental and social values. This paper examines a scheme to add almost 2 GL/yr of treated wastewater to infiltration galleries immediately down-gradient of Perry Lakes so that the wetlands may be restored. Modelling suggest that groundwater levels would be raised up-gradient of the galleries, increasing both lake levels and groundwater supplies in the vicinity. It is not envisaged that wastewater will enter the lakes. …
Estimating The Economic Benefit Of Scuba Diving In The Similan Islands, Thailand, Sorada Tapsuwan, John Asafu-Adjaye
Estimating The Economic Benefit Of Scuba Diving In The Similan Islands, Thailand, Sorada Tapsuwan, John Asafu-Adjaye
Sorada Tapsuwan
This article reports the results of the travel cost model using the standard and the truncated count data models to estimate the economic value of the Similan Islands, Thailand, from SCUBA diving. The estimated consumer surplus per visit to the Similan Islands using the truncated negative binomial model was US$3,233 and the economic value of the Similan Islands from SCUBA diving was estimated to be up to US$54.96 m. This study shows that, even without non-use values, coral reefs of the Similan Islands, if properly managed and maintained, will continue to have significant value to both Thai and overseas SCUBA …
