Abstract

DROUGHT has the highest financial cost among natural disasters in Iran. Considering the climate change and the frequent occurrence of DROUGHT, the main purpose of this study was to investigate the level of DROUGHT VULNERABILITY among Iranian farmers. A multiple case study research method was used. The cases were selected by purposeful sampling. A PRA type ranking technique was used to rank the farmers based on their severity of DROUGHT impacts. The ranking information was used to select five successful and five unsuccessful cases in coping with DROUGHT. The findings revealed that the DROUGHT effects were social, economic, agronomic, environmental and fearing the future. The impact of DROUGHT was more sever among UNSUCCESSFUL FARMERS. The farmers attribute the causes of the different DROUGHT impact among themselves to the technologic, economic, natural and agronomic factors and also the level of knowledge and beliefs. The study provided a model to explain how to reduce the DROUGHT VULNERABILITY. It was recommended to classify farmers based on their DROUGHT impact in order to offer more effective DROUGHT interventions strategies to each group. The study recommends that extension organization concentrates its activities on increasing farmer's knowledge about new methods of farm management and DROUGHT coping strategies, and establishing government funds to help farmers under DROUGHT conditions.
