Yogyakarta residents are enthusiastic about joining farmer groups utilizing urban yards by executing the Lorong Sayur (vegetable alley) program. Members of the farmer groups realize the potential for expanding urban farming in confined spaces like narrow alleys and other such locations. This study aims to determine the level of motivation and the factors affecting the motivation of urban farmer group members in implementing the Lorong Sayur program in Yogyakarta. The research was purposively conducted in Yogyakarta, precisely in the Districts of Umbulharjo, Danurejan, and Kotagede. Fifty-five respondents were selected using multistage random sampling. Both primary and secondary data, obtained through interviews utilizing questionnaires, observation, and documentation, were employed. The data were analyzed using a Likert scale and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient. Three needs from Clayton Alderfer’s ERG theory have been proven to predict motivation: the need for existence fell in the medium category, and both the needs for relatedness and growth belonged to the high category. Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient discovered that income, frequency of counseling attendance, the agricultural extension workers’ role, and the role of farmer group leaders were all significantly related to urban farmer group members’ motivation to implement the Lorong Sayur program.
