چکیده
پذیرش کم فناوری‌های کشاورزی اقلیم هوشمند توسط کشاورزان در مناطق درحال‌توسعه که معیشت کشاورزی در آن‌ها توسط بلایای مرتبط با اقلیم نظیر خشکسالی تهدید می‌شود، همچنان یک معمای نگران‌کننده است. الگوهای پذیرش با شایستگی‌های کشاورزی اقلیم هوشمند در امنیت غذایی و تاب‌آوری اقلیمی متناسب نیست و توجه به ویژگی‌های اجتماعی- روان‌شناختی در رابطه با الگوهای رفتاری و نگرشی در پذیرش کشاورزی اقلیم هوشمند کمیاب است. بر همین اساس، هدف پژوهش حاضر بررسی پذیرش کشاورزی اقلیم هوشمند در دشت سیستان با استفاده از مدل توسعه‌یافته پذیرش فناوری بود. این مطالعه در بین کشاورزان دشت سیستان (6000N = ) در استان سیستان و بلوچستان انجام شد. نمونه با استفاده از نمونه‌گیری طبقه‌ای تصادفی با انتساب متناسب، 361 کشاورز تعیین گردید. نتایج آشکار کرد که متغیرهای درک سودمندی، سهولت درک‌شده، هنجارهای ذهنی و نگرش کشاورزان تأثیر معنی‌داری بر قصد آن‌ها برای به‌کارگیری اقدامات کشاورزی اقلیم هوشمند داشت. همچنین، هنجارهای ذهنی و نگرش کشاورزان نسبت به کشاورزی اقلیم هوشمند تأثیر مثبت و معنی‌داری بر درک سودمندی و سهولت درک‌شده داشتند. این نشان‌دهنده نقش حیاتی تأثیرات اجتماعی در شکل‌دهی نگرش‌ها و رفتار برای پذیرش اقدامات کشاورزی اقلیم هوشمند توسط کشاورزان است و می‌تواند در آموزش کشاورزان در مورد تغییرات اقلیمی مفید باشد.

چکیده English

The low adoption of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) technologies by farmers in developing regions where agrarian livelihoods are threatened by climate-related disasters such as drought remains a concerning enigma. Adoption patterns are not commensurate with merits of CSA on food security and climate resilience and attention to Socio-psychological features in relation to behavioral and attitudinal patterns in CSA adop-tion remains scarce. Accordingly, this research aimed to study adoption of CSA using the extended technology acceptance model in Sistan plain. The study was conducted on the farmers in the Sistan plain in Sistan and Baluchistan province (N = 6000). The sample (361 farmers) was taken by the proportionally allocated stratified random technique. The results revealed that variables of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, farmers’ subjective norms, and attitude had significant effects on their intention to apply CSA practices. In addition, farmers’ subjective norms and attitude towards CSA had significant effects on perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use. This shows the critical role of social influences in shaping attitudes and behavior for CSA adoption and could be useful in educating farmers on climate change.
