Abstract

Controlling present national water crisis needs to accompany Moral Development alongside other economic, law, technical, knowledge and management strategies. In this regards, the analysis of water users’ Moral Development based on their cognitive and reasoning is very important. Present study aimed to analyze farmers’ Moral Judgment and reasoning in exploitation of Agricultural Water Resources in Khoramabad county. In this way, the Moral Development theory of cognitive psychologist, Lawrence Kohlberg, was applied to analyze two Moral Dilemmas in exploitation of Agricultural Water Resources. Survey technique and questionnaire tool were used to gather data form 310 subjects. The questionnaire face validity was confirmed by a panel of experts at department of agricultural extension and education at Shiraz University, and the questionnaire reliability was approved by a pilot study with 30 subjects outside of statistical population (Cronbach’ s alpha range: from 0. 82-0. 87). The results showed that the proponents of digging illegal well preferred first Moral Reasoning level (Preconventional ethics) at second stage (The instrumental relativist orientation) for judging towards digging illegal dilemma; but, the opponents focused on second Moral Reasoning level (conventional ethics) at fourth stage (The "law and order" orientation). Also, the opponents’ Moral Judgment of second dilemma (preventing to fill of illegal well) based on third Moral Reasoning level (post-conventional ethics) at fifth stage (The social-contract legalistic orientation); although the proponents preferred second Moral Reasoning level (conventional ethics) at third stage (The interpersonal concordance orientation). Finally, based on the research results, some recommendations were provided.
