Abstract:
Drought is one of the most complex and a slow-onset natural disaster with frequent repetition in Iran's climate which affecting natural resources and human development recurrently. While the consequences of droughts can usually be predicted, preventive action is frequently absent or insufficient to prevent serious impacts in many regions of the world particularly in Iran. We believe that lack of a perception of what is drought management is stands in the way of cohesive anti-drought action. Evidences suggest that positive perception to feasibility of drought management is critical to its success, and major barrier to drought management approaches has been a lack of good perception. As such, an in-depth understanding of the mechanisms that lead people to be supportive of alternative water sources is critically important. Therefore, analysis of perception to feasibility of drought management was the main objective of the research. Jehad-Keshavarzi specialists in Boushehr provinces were the statistical population. Simple random sampling was used to choose 120 specialists at Jehad-keshavarzi organization using survey research method. The result reveals that specialists have favorable social norm about drought management more than other variables. We use, also, a path analysis for determine direct and indirect effects of other variables on perception to feasibility of drought management. Based on the research findings some applicable recommendations have been presented toward specialists’ drought management perception, at the end of the article.
