Contingent Valuation Method in a Pandemic Period: Diagnosis for the Search of New Directions

The work during the COVID-19 pandemic challenged researchers and managers when trying to contain the spread of the disease among the population. Much social isolation and quarantine restrictions were imposed. The objective of this research is to verify how the research was carried out using the Contingent Valuation method since there is a need to talk to the respondents personally about their visit to an environmental or patrimonial asset, to unveil what difficulties were encountered and how to go around them. The method used for this investigation was the integrative literature review in the analysis of articles and dissertations available on the Capes portal, SciELO and Google Scholar. The years of the search were from 2020 to 2021. There was a cost reduction to apply the method, greater agility of the research, value of willingness to pay less assertive and difficulties in construct analysis, among others.
