Abstract
Rafsanjan, as one of the main areas for pistachio production, which is one of Iran's export products, has faced major environmental problems in recent years, including drought and climate change. Therefore, it is very important to pay attention to the resilience behavior of pistachio growers against the adverse effects of climate change. The present study analyzed the factors affecting the resilience of Rafsanjan pistachio growers against climate change. The statistical population included all pistachio growers in rural areas of Rafsanjan (22721 people) of which 340 people were selected as sample using the size determination method in correlational studies. The data collection tool was a questionnaire that was validated by a group of experts and its reliability was determined by internal consistency using Cronbach's alpha method. For investigating the factors affecting the resilient behavior of growers in the face of climate change, path analysis was used. Data processing was also performed using SPSS ver25 software. The results indicated that the resilient behavior of the studied gardeners in the face of climate change is moderate. The results of path analysis showed that the variables of attitude with a total effect of 0.433, control of perceived behavior with a total effect of 0.426, social norms with a total effect of 0.399 and behavioral intention with a total effect of 0.387, respectively, had the greatest impact on gardeners' resilient behavior against climate change. Hence, by diversifying the skills and employment of gardeners, providing suitable agricultural infrastructure, increasing the financial support, information, the public participation, and social cohesion of society, the status of resilient behavior of gardeners would be improved.
