Popis: The development and utilization of livestock manure biogas technology as an alternative energy source can solve supply problems and contamination of the environment. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence public acceptance of livestock manure biogas technology. It was conducted in Boyolali Regency, with a livestock population of 86,363 dairy and 86,988 beef cattles, hence, the potential for biogas raw materials was high. Moreover, the respondents were 61 people who have used livestock manure biogas, while the method used was descriptive quantitative, with survey data collection techniques. The data were analyzed descriptively along with the multiple linear regression test. The results showed that the acceptance of biogas technology by the community was very high with an average acceptance score of 4.35. Based on the F-test results, the variables of motivation, farmer experience, livestock number, income level, the intensity of counseling, and access to information simultaneously affect biogas acceptance, while the t-test results showed that biogas acceptance is partially influenced by motivational variables, livestock number, intensity of extension, and access to information. Therefore, it was concluded that public acceptance of biogas is influenced by motivational factors, livestock number, intensity of counseling, and access to information.
