Produktbeschreibung
Farming in urban periphery contributes to welfare of
urbanites thorough incomes, jobs, and open spaces.
Approximately, half of the US s total agricultural
sales originate from these areas where urban
expansion also creates conflict and competition
between farming and urban uses. Since 1980s,
Portland, Oregon, has experienced a dramatic urban
growth, along with increasing land speculation,
fragmentation, and conversion to urban uses. In
response, Oregon instituted statewide planning
measures to manage its urban growth and to protect
its prime farmland from conversion. This book
analyzes effects of uncertainty, planning measures,
urban uses on Christmas trees and horticultural
farming in Portland Metropolitan periphery. A
GIS-based-Hedonic Thunian Land Value and a Discrete
Choice model show that planning measures may have
different impacts for farming dependent on their
locations. The study also sheds light on effects of
access to local markets, urban land uses,
externalities, uncertainty, and expectations on land
use value and choice. Hence, this book will be useful
to planers, and persons interested in urban
management, agricultural economics, policy analysis,
and urban studies.
