In this paper, a damage schedule is developed based on the scales of relative importance translated from people’s judgments about values of various environmental damages or losses. The variance stable rank method is applied to the
paired comparison responses to obtain the scale values as well as the importance of rankings. Statistical tests of
significance are used to determine the level of the agreement among the survey respondents and the degree of
correspondence between different respondent groups. This will determine the number of relative importance scales
required to adequately represent the responses from all respondents. The scales of relative importance will then be
translated into damage schedules.
