<br/><br/>Introduction -- Need for public consultation and stated preference -- Stated preference : methods and challenges -- Qualitative methods -- Interpreting stated preference responses -- Investigating sensitivity to scope -- Constructing better preferences? -- Communal nature of stated preference -- Evaluating and redesigning stated preference. 
<br/><br/> This comprehensive volume explores the extent to which the challenges facing stated preference environmental valuation can be overcome through mixing methods. In redesigning stated preference, two approaches are considered: mixing methods within conventional stated preference; and then moving away from the conventional to explore the use of group methods within preference construction and forming a social consensus on willingness to pay. These approaches are assessed in the light of qualitative findings evaluating the applicability of environmental valuation.
