A non-governmental organization (Community Base Organization, CBO) plays a significant role in managing resources or regional community-based services. This study determines the factors influencing the respondents’ willingness to join CBO methane gas (biogas) for green energy in Mulyorejo Urban village and Karangnongko villages in Malang City and Malang Regency, respectively. Variables were determined using a logistic regression model. The chances of respondents’ willingness to join were assessed through a probability analysis. This created a scenario with the highest likelihood of willingness. The results showed that the chances of the respondents entering Mulyorejo urban village could reach 99 % when factors such as employment, methane gas benefits, finance, education, as well as invitations from family, friends, neighbors, and government were involved. Also, the chances of respondents joining CBO methane gas in Karangnongko Village reached 99% when factors such as methane gas benefits, finance, social participation, as well as invitations from family, friends, neighbors, and government were involved.
