RESEARCH METHOD FOR THE SOCIAL ACCEPTABILITY OF IMPLEMENTING A COLLECTIVE SYSTEM OF SEWAGE DISPOSAL AND TREATMENT

Abstract

This article presents the procedure for assessing the social acceptability of the implementation of a collective sewage collection and treatment system, basing on the conditional valuation method, using the willingness to pay research (WTP). The information obtained in this way allow to determine the amount of money the local community is willing to pay for using the collective sewage collection and treatment system. The developed method of assessing the social acceptability of the implementation of a collective sewage collection and treatment system can serve as a mean for supporting the decision-making process of shaping the payment policies for water services within a commune.
