摘要
In this work,a methodological framework has been developed in the form of an algorithmic process,which includes 28 stages of activities and 6 decision nodes,for the assessment of the environmental impact caused by industrial activities.The main part of this process is a modification of the Contingent Valuation Method(CVM),which relied heavily on research based on the WTP-WTA(Willingness to Pay/Receive,respectively)assessment.The research can be carried out either in a strictly controlled environment or on site and as is(“in laboratory conditions”or“real conditions”,respectively,in the terminology of experimental economics).The application of this methodology is presented,referring to three cases of industrial pollution(in three different locations)caused by(i)a cement plant,(ii)an oil refinery complex,and(iii)a small industrial town with a heavily polluted port,in which several industrial units coexist,while all of them are located near Athens,Greece.The results are interpreted/discussed and conclusions are drawn.
