| description | Reviewing drought literature among nomads revealed that, nomads’ copings mechanisms towards drought are affected by their attitude and perception of drought. Therefore, this survey study aims at investigating nomads’ attitude towards drought and analyzing its contributing factors. The main data gathering device was researcher made questionnaires which were fulfilled by face to face interviews conducted among 200 nomad households living at Derila region, Gachsaran County as the study population. Bartlett’s table was used to determine statistical sample size and 132 households were selected based on randomly quota sampling procedures. Face validity of questionnaires was confirmed by panel of experts and its internal consistency was- further assessed and confirmed by using Chronbach's alpha coefficient growing out of a pilot study (0.61-0.73). Results revealed that nomads held negative attitude toward drought and viewed it as a destroyer and at the same time as controllable phenomenon. Path analysis results showed that the most contribution to nomads' attitude was belonged to awareness towards drought by making direct and positive effect. Similar relations were also observed for number of livestock and household size factors, whereas the grazing capacity license and subjective norms had statistically negative direct effect on attitude towards drought. Finally, the practical suggestions were focused on public investment in order to present and improve farm based extension programs. |
