Over the last decades, managing urbanization poses a great challenge for many developed countries. To overcome, the negative impacts of urbanization and preserve sustainability in urban areas, governments are compelled to undertake measures, to increase the benefits derived from peri-urban and urban green spaces. In this study we tried to document the social and economic value of the peri-urban and urban green of the town of Florina. To do so, we tried to evaluate the ecosystem services that exist in these areas of the city, in monetary units, using the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM). To examine the theoretical concepts underlying urbanization and its connection to green spaces (urban and peri-urban) and ecosystem services, we decided to resort to primary data (291 questionnaires). The proposed methodology was tested in the aforementioned city, because it has lots of urban green spaces and is, in essence, surrounded by peri-urban forests. Results, demonstrated that the participants in the survey are willing to financially support and voluntarily participate in urban and peri-urban management plans. Furthermore, the results showed that the CVM method, can be successfully used to evaluate the all value of a urban and periurban green spaces in the city of Florina. Our analysis showed that in this specific case, the assessment of willingness to pay for developing green spaces (urban and peri-urban), should and can be promoted as an indispensable tool for the conservation-improvement and protection of those areas.

在过去的几十年中，管理城市化对许多发达国家构成了巨大挑战。为了克服城市化带来的负面影响并维护城市地区的可持续性，政府被迫采取措施，以增加城市周边和城市绿地带来的收益。在这项研究中，我们试图记录弗洛里纳镇郊区和城市绿地的社会和经济价值。为此，我们尝试使用或有估值法（CVM）以货币单位评估城市这些地区中存在的生态系统服务。为了研究城市化及其与绿色空间（城市和城市周边）以及生态系统服务之间关系的理论概念，我们决定诉诸原始数据（291份问卷）。建议的方法已在上述城市进行了测试，因为它有很多城市绿地，并且实质上被城郊森林所包围。结果表明，参与调查的人愿意在经济上支持并自愿参加城市和郊区管理计划。此外，结果表明，CVM方法可以成功地用于评估弗洛里纳市市区和郊区绿地的所有价值。我们的分析表明，在这种特定情况下，应该并且可以促进对发展绿色空间（城市和城市周边）的支付意愿的评估，作为对这些地区进行保护和改善的必不可少的工具。证明参与调查的人愿意提供财政支持并自愿参加城市和城郊管理计划。此外，结果表明，CVM方法可以成功地用于评估弗洛里纳市市区和郊区绿地的所有价值。我们的分析表明，在这种特定情况下，应该并且可以促进对发展绿色空间（城市和城市周边）的支付意愿的评估，作为对这些地区进行保护和改善的必不可少的工具。证明参与调查的人愿意提供财政支持并自愿参加城市和城郊管理计划。此外，结果表明，CVM方法可以成功地用于评估弗洛里纳市市区和郊区绿地的所有价值。我们的分析表明，在这种特定情况下，应该并且可以促进对发展绿色空间（城市和城市周边）的支付意愿的评估，作为对这些地区进行保护和改善的必不可少的工具。
