Willingness to Pay for Critical Land

摘要

This study was conducted in order to find the effect of community socioeconomic conditions on farmers' Willingness To Pay (WTP) and farmers' willingness to move to lands that were not critical or to better land areas (Willingness To Leave/WTL). The research method used to calculate the farmers' willingness to pay the land restoration is the WTP Method, and Ordinal logistic regression analysis is used to determine the influencing factors to the opportunities of the critical land recovery activities. From the results of the study, the efforts to recover critical or degraded land are still low. Farmers of the study respondents has only carried out the fertilization process, and they even used the land over the land productivity. The factors that have a significant effect to the possibility of WTP for the land recovery is the long stay variable. Whereas the significant effect to the WTL model is the income variable.
