Abstract

Global climate is changing and Smallholder Farmers are more vulnerable than others in terms of their inability to apply Adaptation Strategies. So, identifying the Adaptation Strategies of Climate Change for Smallholder Farmers of Hamedan Province as well as evaluating the gap between importance and implementation of those strategies were the main purposes of the study. This study had two target population including agricultural experts and professionals (to evaluate the importance level) and Smallholder Farmers (to evaluate the implementation level). The samples of 121 experts and 280 farmers were selected due to the Cochran formula. The required data was collected by a structured questionnaire which its validity and reliability were confirmed through a panel of experts and a pilot study, respectively. The Cronbach`s alpha coefficient equaled 0. 942 for importance and equaled 0. 966 for implementation. The results showed that the strategies such as "cultivation pattern change towards water-efficient plants", "using modern irrigation systems (under pressure irrigation, tape irrigation and etc. )" and "using drought resistant varieties" were the most important Adaptation Strategies due to the experts` opinion. Based on the results of factor analysis, the strategies were divided into 6 main categories. The findings also showed that there was a significant difference between the importance and implementation in all of the strategy groups. At last, some recommendations were presented in order to adaptation increase and vulnerability reduction.
