Dairy goat farming is an alternative livelihood activity for small-holder farmers who lived at the mountain area. The farmers' group approach through the setting of some behavioral intervention is an effective strategy to empower the small-holder farmers in creating sustainable farming system. The study was aimed to analyze some motives as components of sustainable farming motivation encouraging the farmers to raise dairy goats at the slope area of Merapi volcano and to analyze the relationship between individual group member's perceptions about cohesion with dairy goat farmers group and sustainable farming motivation. All the members of the dairy goat farmers group, at Turgo Sub-village participated in the research. Data were collected by interviewing the farmers using a questionnaire which already tested its validity and reliability. The descriptive analysis was made and data were analyzed by using Rank-spearman correlation. Most of the farmers (83.3%) had high category levels of sustainable dairy goat farming motivation. The social motives were at the highest level (73.3%) for farmers in exerting dairy goat farming at the slope area of Merapi volcano, followed by environmental motives (66.7%) and economic motives (63.3%). The group members' perception of cohesion, including sense of belonging and feeling of morale, to the group (73.3%) was also in high category level.
