The research method used  the Spearman Rank test  to determine the relationship between variables and correlations using 357 samples by random sampling. The results obtained showed a significant relationship between knowledge and the use of traditional medicine in Gondosuli Village, Tawangmangu, Karanganyar with a p value of <0.05, which was 0.000. The conclusion of this study is that community knowledge is related to the use of traditional medicine in Gondosuli village.
