Abstract

Water scarcity is a familiar concept in today’ s literature of rural development. It is necessary to address this issue in agricultural sector as a large user of water. One of the paths for addressing this issue is improving Farmers’; attitudes towards water conservation. For this purpose, Needs assessment could be applied. The aim of this study was to analyze Farmers’; attitudes towards water conservation by application of Needs assessment using Maslow’; s theory. This study as a descriptive research has been conducted using survey techniques. Statistical population of this study consisted of farmers of Kavar township (N=13187). Applying Cluster sampling method 383 farmers was selected as sample. A questionnaire was used to collect data. Its face validity was confirmed by professors of social psychology and agricultural extension and its reliability was measured by calculating Cronbach's alpha (0. 69 ≤ α ≤ 0. 97). The results showed that safety and physiological needs as the most important factors had a negative and significant effect on Farmers’; attitudes towards water conservation. Social needs and esteem needs were the other factors influencing dependent variable. Based on the results, the solutions for water conservation that are consistent with the needs of farmers can be proposed.
