Abstract

Background and Objectives: The concept of ‘ Desertification’ is related to loss of ecosystem services because of human disturbances and climatic variations in dry regions. Desertification based on its driver and geographical condition can change ecosystem downward in stable statue. Desertification control needs to identify its drivers and causes. Desertification drivers can be categorized in biophysical, social, economic, political and managerial groups. In this paper, some of the disturbances caused by human activities that have been linked to the knowledge and culture of the rural people and which underlie the current state of degradation and Desertification have been evaluated as a Desertification social driver. Materials and Methods: In order to carry out this research, a list of social driving forces has been prepared through the related scientific resources review, a questionnaire and a specialized group of related experts in two phases of the Delphi method. Then, the candidate factors were grouped into 6 criteria. At last, by using the questionnaire, whose validity and reliability were confirmed, was judged by experts. Finally, it has been ranked by statistical methods and the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Results: The results of statistical analysis using SPSS19 software showed that the most important criteria of socio-cultural effective on Desertification and Land Degradation were 20. 49, 19. 32, 17. 36, 16. 76, 13. 12, Percentages are as follows: Social networks weakness, disproportionate historical and cultural habits, population migration, the weakness of knowledge and education, the loss of social values and land ownership issues respectively. Using a hierarchical analysis method (AHP), it was found that among the 38 candidate candidates, 18 factors were more effective. Also, the most important factors affecting Land Degradation and Desertification are as follows: the lack of a system for using Hamoun wetland products and services, farrow land cultivation, traditional farming, untrusting to experts knowledge, the preference for crop cultivation and lack of utilization Indigenous knowledge respectively. Conclusion: If the goal of stopping Desertification or reversing it is the need for comprehensive review, more effort is needed to bring the views and cooperation of all stakeholders, including stakeholders, especially beneficiaries. Knowledge sharing trust building and cooperation in implementing projects can be beneficial for the government and the people, Corrective policies in such region with high rate of Land Degradation and Desertification can be achieved through Understanding the causes and factors of this phenomenon.
