Abstract:
The purpose of this research is to analyze the farmers', and to identify the factors influencing the farmers' Willingness to Pay (WTP) in reducing the impact of critical land. The research method used to calculate the farmers' willingness to pay the land restoration is the Willingness to Pay (WTP) Method, and The Ordinal Logistic Regression Method was used to analyze WTP's influencing factors. The result showed that the farmers' Average of Maximum Willingness to Pay is Rp. 21.196.-. This means that the farmers’ Average of Maximum Willingness to Pay is lower than the average cost incurred by the farmers for the land restoration activity, which is Rp. 58.000.-. This indicated that the farmers' awareness of the efforts to do critical land restoration is low. The independent variable with the significant influence is the OWN (the Status of the Land Ownership) variable. The other variables that the logit coefficient is positive are income, age, education, long stay, family numbers, and st
atus of land ownership. Then the variables that the logit coefficient is negative are marital status, occupation, and land restoration activity.
