Abstract

Water problems and issues due to droughts and over-exploitation brought up the importance of developing Research and Executive Fields on WATER RESOURCES protection and farmers’ water protective behaviors. Present study aimed to analyze farmers’ water protective behaviors in Khorram-Abad County using survey technique and questionnaire for gathering data form 310 samples. These samples were collected from the statistical population of the active farmers in Khorram-Abad County during 2016-2017 i. e. 22812 persons. The questionnaire validity has confirmed by 4 members of the Agricultural Extension and Education faculty at Shiraz University. The reliability of the questionnaire has assessed by a pilot study with 30 samples outside the statistical population. Results showed that the mean of protective behavior variable is 1. 02 (in range 0-4) which implied low water protective behavior among farmers. Also, the results based on path analysis showed that variables such as behavioral tendency, awareness of protective behaviors’ desirable effects, following rural models and leaders, access to water information resources, and technical knowledge of water protection have direct effect on water protective behavior while variables such as moral values, moral reasoning, awareness of water laws and agricultural income have indirect effect on such behaviors. Totally, these variables could predict 57 percent of the changes in farmers' water protective behaviors. Therefore, solutions such as increasing farmers’ awareness to protective behaviors’ desirable effects, technical knowledge of water protection, activating the potential of rural models and leaders for extension of water protective behaviors, improving moral judgment and diffusion of moral values related to water consumption can lead to extend protective behavior among farmers.
