Abstract

Drought as a natural DISASTER creates most financial damage to agricultural community. Therefore, VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT is a first step in DROUGHT RISK MANAGEMENT. The purpose of this study was to assess the socio-economic VULNERABILITY of wheat farmers during DROUGHT in Sarpolezahab, Islamabad, and Javanrood Townships in Kermanshah province. This study used a survey design and collected data from 370 wheat farmers using multistage stratified sampling techniques. Face to face interview was used to collect data from farmers who experienced DROUGHT during 1386-1386. Socio-economic VULNERABILITY indices were selected from literature review and pilot study. VULNERABILITY formula proposed by Me-Bar and Valdez (2005) was used to assess socio-economic VULNERABILITY of wheat farmers during DROUGHT. Results revealed that Javanrood farmers had high economic VULNERABILITY coefficient (3.37) whereas Sarpolezahab farmers were most vulnerable in terms of social indices (3.28). This study has implications for DROUGHT management in Kermanshah province. Based on finding, if DROUGHT mitigation is the ultimate goal of policy-makers, resource allocation for DROUGHT affected areas should be based on VULNERABILITY level of farmers.
