| dc.description.abstract | Landslide hazard could have severe impacts on
public properties including damaged infrastructure, changing
land structure, relocation of buildings and roadways, reduction
on water quality in streams and irrigation facilities, etc.,
Household mitigation for landslide hazard is necessary to
reduce such hazard intensity and minimize the impacts. This
paper has analyzed household’s willingness to pay (WTP) for
landslide hazard mitigation in a high potential risk for
landslide hazard regency in Purworejo, Central Java
Indonesia. Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) was employed
to capture the household’s WTP. Determinants of the
household WTP were estimated using the Logistic regression
model. 270 households were chosen using a purposive sampling
technique as the respondents of this study. Results showed that
76.7 percent of respondents were willing to pay for an average
of IDR 4,500 (USD 0.32) for landslide mitigation. Household
income, distance to landslide location, frequency of landslide,
and educational attainment have significant effects on the
WTP. The paper recommends that the local government
should pay more attention to the landslide hazard mitigation
programs. | en_US |
