Abstract

In this paper, an approach has been proposed considering strategies based on values and religious teachings. The aim of this paper is the study of villagers’ religious attitude style towards the water and its consumption which carried out by means of a survey. To this end, 270 people from rural areas Ramsheh, the province of Isfahan (low- water area), and Izadkhast (high-water area) from Fars province were interviewed by the cluster sampling method. After determining the validity of the study, its reliability was determined by Cronbach Alpha Test whose standardized rate was 0.93. Likert scale was used to measure the attitude of villagers and non-parametric tests of SPSS software (Mann-Whitney U & Kruskal-Wallis -test) were used to analyze them.The results showed that, recognition and religious feeling of villagers about water is almost strong in both regions and their behavior towards water is proportional to the religious teachings. In terms of emotional attitudes, the rural housewives feeling about water was stronger than men. In contrast, the tendency to behave according to the religious teachings among rural men was more than women. Illiterate peasants and rural people older than 51 years had stronger feeling about water than literate and younger people. In the areas which villagers take the advantage of water surplus, there were stronger feelings towards water among the villagers. The Villagers who have fruit garden and villagers that use other types of drinking water sources such as wells, canals, rivers and rain have more appropriate behavior towards water than the villagers use the other types of water resources - such as water plumbing.
