چکیده

رشد جمعیت جهان و رشد اقتصادی از یک‌ طرف و منابع طبیعی محدود به­ ویژه در بسیاری از کشورهای در حال توسعه از طرف دیگر، باعث توجه جدی به مسأله پایداری محیط زیست شده است. در این راستا، تخریب و بهره­­ برداری بیش از حدِ منابع طبیعی از مهم‌­ترین محدویت­‌های توسعه پایدار در بسیاری از کشورهای در حال توسعه است. هدف کلی این تحقیق توصیفی ـ همبستگی، تعیین ادراک کشاورزان از مدیریت خاک زراعی و عوامل تأثیرگذار بر آن بود. جامعه آماری تحقیق، کشاورزان سرپرست خانوار روستاهای شهرستان کرمانشاه بودند (24391N=) که تعداد 350 نفر از آنان با روش نمونه‎گیری چندمرحله‎ای انتخاب شدند. ابزار گردآوری داده­ ها پرسشنامه بود که برای سنجش پایایی و روایی آن، به ترتیب از آلفای کرونباخ و پانل متخصصان استفاده شد. بر اساس یافته­ ها، ادراک کشاورزان از مدیریت خاک زراعی در حد متوسط بود.از سوی دیگر، وضعیت تماس­ های ترویجی کشاورزان و میزان استفاده آنان از منابع اطلاعاتی درباره مدیریت خاک زراعی پایین­تر از حد متوسط بود. نتایج مدل­سازی معادلات ساختاری نشان داد که متغیرهای میزان تحصیلات، تماس­ های ترویجی، سابقه کشاورزی، منابع اطلاعاتی و اندازه زمین زراعی کشاورزان بر ادراک آنان از مدیریت خاک زراعی تأثیر معناداری دارند و در کل 51 درصد از تغییرات ادراک کشاورزان از مدیریت خاک زراعی را تبیین می‌کنند.

چکیده [English]

Universal population and economical growth and also limited natural resources, especially in many developing countries, has caused a serious consideration to the sustainability issue of environment. Exploiting natural resources is the most important constraints to sustain-able development in many developing countries. The purpose of this descrptive-correlational study was to determine Farmers, perception toward farm soil manag-ement and the factors influencing it. The statistical population for the study consisted of farmer heads of families in the rural society of Kermanshah township (N=24391).Three hundred and fifty samples were selected through multistage sampling method. Data were collected through questionnaire. Validity and reliability of the research instrument were respectively determined through a panel of experts and a determination of Cronbach's Alpha Coefficient. Based on the findings, the Farmers' perception toward farm soil management was moderate. Farmers' contacts with agricultural extension and their use of information resources about farm soil management was lower than average. Results of structural equation modeling revealed that variables includingeducation level, extension contacts,farming experience, sourcesofinformation and farm size had asignificantinfluence onFarmers, perception toward farm soil management, with these variables in total determining 51% of variation of Farmers' perception toward farm soil management.
