Abstract

he public awareness of forest carbon sequestration services and their willingness to pay for them are the basis to understand the demands for the forest carbon sequestration. On the basis of the review of the current domestic and international research on forest carbon sequestration，this research chose Hangzhou area as the survey site，randomly surveyed 220 people and obtained 212 valid questionnaires. The results of the SPSS analysis had the following indications. （1） The public had certain knowledge on forests ecological functions. There was a good basis of public awareness to pay for the forest carbon sequestration services，particularly there was a great potential on the purchase of ecological lottery. （2） There was a strong public willingness to buy forest carbon sequestration services，and different groups willingness to buy forest carbon sequestration services were different. Meanwhile，Logistic analysis showed the main factors affecting public willingness to buy forest carbon sequestration services included willing to pay for personal carbon emissions，whether the forest service to absorb carbon dioxide should be compensated，awareness of the role of forests on carbon sequestration，the necessity for individual emission reduction and gender. Finally，conclusions and two suggestions were made.［Ch，5 tab. 9 ref.］
