Question

is a bequest value a use, non use or option value?

Answer 1

The so-called "Bequest values," or the interest in wanting to pass on environmental resources for future generations to enjoy, are often included in the Non-use value category, but some sources view it as a type of future use value (an choice kept for future people). Another interest contained in the Non-use group is "Altruistic interest," which indicates that the desire of individuals to pay for environmental services can be partially for the good of others, not only themselves.
