This study examines the benefits of green space amenities using choice experiments. Green spaces of Negishi Forest Park were classified into lawns, forests for recreation, and forests for wildlife conservation. These attributes were presented to respondents with graphical and text information. The attributes of a local green space conservation tax and a percentage of native trees within the forest area were presented with text information. In comparison with conditional logit estimates, both use and nonuse natures of green spaces were reflected more precisely on the parameter estimates of three latent segments. It was demonstrated that the latent class logit model could reveal the taste variation of respondents in their park use.
