| dc.description | The hedonic pricing technique was used to measure that component of house price attributable to proximity to a city park, using data on sale prices and characteristics of houses in Worcester, MA. Aggregation of these residual values over all houses in the neighborhood of a park provided an estimate of the value of the park, to which was added an estimate of recreation benefits from extrazonal users. '!he policy question of park system development or contraction was addressed by comparing these benefits with operating costs to gain a net measure of parkland value. | |
