El objetivo de la investigación fue determinar el valor de existencia del bosque de la comunidad nativa Puerto Arturo. Para ello, se realizó un estudio para estimar la disposición a aceptar (DAC) una compensación mínima para la implementación de una estrategia de gestión comunal sostenible a través de actividades compatibles que no pongan en riesgo el bosque y la existencia de la comunidad. Para estimar la DAC o precio hipotético se aplicó una encuesta preliminar de tipo abierta (n=15), y una encuesta definitiva de formato binario tipo referéndum a 51 pobladores indígenas. Se utilizó el programa STATA 14.0 a través de un modelo logit. En esta disposición el 54,92% de los visitantes estuvieron de acuerdo, y se determina una DAC mínima promedio de S/. 14,84ha-1. Las variables socioeconómicas y culturales que influyen en esta disposición son; precio de partida, ingresos, p...

The study analyzes the conservation value of forests assigned to indigenous populations of the Peruvian Amazon: San Jacinto and Puerto Arturo in Madre de Dios, communities with different realities in terms of conservation and forest management. Two scenarios prevail here: The San Jacinto indigenous community with 7 033,98 ha of forest, is characterized by disorder and the development of activities that put the community at risk (gold mining), while Puerto Arturo with 3 731 ha is a community committed to the management and conservation of its resources. By means of the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) through the dichotomous logit model we try to define the willingness of the individuals to accept compensation (WAC) on proposed prices of a hypothetical scenario. The results show that the average annual WAC to implement the environmental program was S/ 20,46 (USD 6,30) and S/ 14,84 (USD 4...
