Abstract

The effects of ongoing climate change on water availability in Iran and its impact on the shortage of surface water and ground water resources have resulted in VULNERABILITY of FARM HOUSEHOLD and limited the sustainability of their livelihood. Despite its importance, study of DROUGHT VULNERABILITY is difficult due to its multi-dimensional and dynamic nature. However, understanding DROUGHT VULNERABILITY is a crucial step towards DROUGHT mitigation. Therefore, the aim of this research was to explore the nature of DROUGHT VULNERABILITY at the household level using a multi case study design. PRA technique was used to classify FARM HOUSEHOLDs based on their degree of DROUGHT VULNERABILITY to three groups; less-vulnerable, more vulnerable- resource poor and finally more vulnerable- non-resource poor FARM HOUSEHOLDs in the two purposefully selected villages in FARS PROVINCE. The findings revealed that the DROUGHT impact is not homogenous and a spectrum of FARM HOUSEHOLDs' DROUGHT VULNERABILITY was observed. It was concluded that a set of DROUGHT dependent and independent factors determine the household VULNERABILITY to DROUGHT. Finally, a model of more vulnerable FARM HOUSEHOLD’s VULNERABILITY was developed and recommendations are presented based on reseach findings to mitigate DROUGHT and manage DROUGHT knowlegde.
