Harvesting resilience
Climate change is a global challenge affecting human health, livelihood, and food security, and poses a serious threat to agriculture. Adaptation measures are needed to mitigate climate change impacts. Social capital offers a perspective on differences in adaptation to climate change. Nevertheless, the fundamental role of social capital in agricultural adaptation isn’t fully understood. Therefore, this study investigates how social networks, norm…

Bridging farmers’ non-cognitive and self-conscious emotional factors to cognitive determinants of climate change adaptation in southwest Iran
Farm-level adaptation is an effective strategy to cope with global climate change. Farmers can effectively manage the negative effects of climate change with adaptive decisions. Cognitive, non-cognitive and emotional factors influence adaptive decisions against climate change. However, little research addresses the extent to which a set of integrated factors influence a farmer's intention to adapt. To address this gap, this study aims to determin…
Assessment of farmers’ resilience to drought and its influencing components
Drought is a complex socio-natural hazard that increases in magnitude with climate changes. Fars province, in the south of Iran, as one of the agricultural poles of Iran, has experienced severe droughts in recent years. Therefore, the present descriptive-correlational research was conducted aiming at assessing farmers’ resilience to drought within the province. Using a structured questionnaire, 420 farmers were surveyed following a multi-stage cl…
Nationwide prevalence of infertility in Iranian couples
In this study, the 12 and 24-month prevalence of primary infertility and secondary infertility has been estimated for Iran, and the provinces have been categorized as low, middle, middle-up, and high according to the estimated prevalence. These measures are crucial for health managers to tailor interventions and allocate health resources based on the actual needs of the population, enabling more effective planning in each province
Agricultural land use change in fertile areas (basic agriculture) in Southwestern Iran
The growing population has led to the conversion of productive agricultural lands into non-agricultural uses. These widespread changes in land use are reducing agricultural production and threatening food security. Therefore, it is essential to preserve agricultural lands; the first step of which is to gain a thorough understanding of the issue. Accordingly, this study aimed to investigate the causes of changing agricultural land use in the ferti…
When ‘fear factors’ motivate people to adopt electric vehicles in India
Climatic extremes have caused immense harm around the world. Its harm in terms of the proportion of people and regions affected continues to increase every single day. Due to people’s psychological distance from such climatic threats, active initiatives are not undertaken for mitigation of its source. Rather, localized short-term solutions are marking a new status-quo. This study examines if fear can be used as a motivator to nudge people away fr…
Encouraging others to save water
The purpose of this study was to determine how social norms and definitions of the self in terms of individualism-collectivism related to engagement in a public-sphere behavior, encouraging others to conserve water. To achieve this, we examined the public sphere behavior of encouraging others to conserve water through the lens of the Theory of Planned behavior. Data were collected from residents in Florida, USA. Cluster analysis was used to assig…

Perceptions of how occupants adopt water conservation behaviors under psychosocial processes
Understanding the influence of Iranian farmers’ climate change beliefs on their adaptation strategies and mitigation intentions
Agriculture is one of the most vulnerable sectors to climate change, therefore it is necessary to understand farmer perceptions of – and adaptation to – climate change. As part of a unique farm adaptation study in Iran, we used structural equation modelling to analyze 400 on-farm survey responses from Khuzestan Province farmers, to understand how their different types of climate change beliefs influenced their mitigation and adaptation behaviour.…
What factors contribute to conversion to organic farming? Consideration of the Health Belief Model in relation to the uptake of organic farming by Iranian farmers
Organic Farming (OF) is a response to challenges caused by conventional or intensive agriculture. Successful organic production depends on farmers choosing to grow organic products. The main goal of this study is to analyze and identify factors affecting farmers’ willingness to implement OF in southwest Iran. For this, we borrowed the health belief model (HBM) from the health psychology domain. The study, a questionnaire-based cross-sectional sur…

Farmers' adaptation to drought risk through farm–level decisions
Empirical evidence has revealed that farmers can manage the negative impact of drought effectively by changing and adapting their current farming practices. Adaptation is thus a focal point in reducing farmers' vulnerability. Knowledge of what farmers do in response to drought events can broaden adaptation options and improve resilience within the sector. To design effective public drought adaptation strategies, it is crucial to understand farmer…

How collective efficacy makes a difference in responses to water shortage due to climate change in southwest Iran
A new enemy at the gate
Iran faces a water crisis so severe that much of its land has ceased to be productive. Since Iran has coped with water shortages for thousands of years, it would seem that something has been lost in the abandonment, over the past half-century or so, of traditional practices in favour of modern ones. A comparison of the socio-technical systems inherent in the traditional practices with those that accompany the modern ones reveals a striking loss o…
Reasons for seeking a divorce in Iran
Given the increasing rate of divorce in Iran, together with the need to adopt preventive measures based on cultural conditions, a requirement of utmost importance is to explore the reasons that drive Iranian couples to seek a divorce. In this nationwide study, which was conducted in nine capital cities chosen from 31 provinces in Iran, a total of 3,200 men and women (1,600 couples), who had petitioned the court for a divorce, received individual …

The population of interest consisted of stockperso…
Coping with Drought
The slow-onset disasters, like drought, consistently deplete farmers’ resources at a faster rate than they can be replenished. Drought has been a recurring phenomenon in the southern regions of Iran and it has repeatedly been a leading cause of declining production and great human suffering. In view of the fact that poor and small farmers are more vulnerable, it is expected that they would be the main victims of such conditions. Investigation of …
