The Misi Rural Development Project and Area s Recreational Value Based on Contingent Valuation Method

In the long term, the Industrial Revolution had caused the welfare increases in the urban areas and decreases in the rural areas. The weak rural society who live with the nature had started to exhaust and destroy the natural resources excessively. To alleviate the pressure upon natural resources and increase the welfare level Rural Development Projects had been put on the agenda by the Developing Countries. However, in developing countries, environmental benefits and costs have not included the project analysis, furthermore environmental evaluation has been desired a luxury concept. The aim of this study is to put forward the environmental impacts of the rural development project prepared for the Misi Settlement which has recreational areas and natural beauties, and shed light on local governments.
