Community participation in landslide mitigation is very important because the community is dealing directly with landslides. One of the roles of the community in landslide mitigation can be measured by the willingness to pay (WTP). The aims of this study are 1) to determine factors that influence WTP for reducing the impact of landslides, 2) to determine the value of WTP for landslides mitigation. The method used in this study is contingent valuation methods by calculating the amount of WTP to reduce the risk of landslides and the factors that affect WTP. This study used primary and secondary data. Primary data were obtained using open interview techniques with 100 respondents in some villages in Karanganyar District, who are at risk of landslides, while secondary data was taken from the Statistics Agency (BPS) and Regional Agency for Disaster Countermeasure (BPBD) of Karanganyar Regency.
