Abstract
It is pointed out that the entanglement entropy of quantum fields near the horizon of a two-dimensional black hole can be derived by means of the conformal field theory. This can be done in a way analogous to the computation of the entropy of BTZ black holes. The important feature of the considered case is that the degrees of freedom of the conformal theory are states localized in the physical space-time.
