Abstract

Watershed management is seen as a cost centre that does not provide tangible economic benefits for the development and improvement of people's welfare. Market mechanisms fail in assessing the overall resource. But this time there has been a change in the economic valuation of the environmental benefits and natural resources indispensable for policymaking and economic analysis of project activity. This prompted the study conducted with the aim of assessing the total economic value of ecosystem services and water resources to assess the ability of users to pay for water resource development DAS Mahat Hulu, with a replacement cost calculation methods and contingency. Users or beneficiaries in this study is limited only to the rice farmers in the upstream, floating net cages farmers, tourists reservoirs, power users <450 watts and power users> 450 Watts. Respondents were selected by random sampling multistory. A number of respondents adjust existing population. The results prove that the total economic value of water resources is very large upstream watershed Mahat is Rp. 53.72 M / yr or Rp. 1,882,636. per ha comprising Rp.51.38 economic value and willingness to pay (WTP) Rp. 2:34 M / yr. WTP value this year is much greater than the Reforestation Fund Kabupaten Lima Puluh Kota 5 (budget year) is only Rp. 1.5 M. Percentage is paying too high at 89.5%, although its value is still low compared with the VAT tax liability by 10% while only 4.5% WTP. Total economic value can be used as the value of the minimum compensation when land in the watershed will be converted. In addition, this value can be the basis of the performance appraisal watershed management more accountable. Increase the total economic value of watershed performed a good and healthy while decreasing the total economic value of the watershed shows the performance of the watershed down and unhealthy Keywords; total economic value, economic valuation, reforestation fund, contingency I.INTRODUCTION Currently estimated at 13% or 62 of 470 watershed basin in Indonesia in critical condition. To address these critical watersheds, diverse soil and water conservation activities in watershed management is long overdue (Priyono and Cahyono, 2003). Failure during this watershed as a result of the excessive emphasis on the biophysical aspects of the social aspect. As a result, watershed management is less public support, because it does not provide tangible economic benefits, are less able to cope with degraded land, and is considered failed. One thing overlooked by experts on the watershed is important economic resource values in the watershed (Dixon and Easter. 1986). Application of environmental economics into a policy for the protection and improvement of the environment, including
