Theoretical Perspective of Structure and Action in Explaining the Adaptation Behavior to Drought

The main purpose of this study is to examine the impact analysis of action and structure on adaptation behavior to drought, that based on documentation and literature review. According to this, the role of agency and structure in social science research and understanding of the world based on social theories, especially structuration theory of Giddens were explained. Then, in the direction of achieving the goals of documents such as document of future perspective and holistic scientific agriculture roadmap, how the relationship between structure and action in drought conditions, as social or environmental context within which people live and work, were analyzed. In the next step, different approaches in the study of adaptation and vulnerability to environmental hazards described. The results showed that all activities adapted to drought appears in the social context, and promotion of adaptive capacity cant be clearly understood without considering the social context, because the context rise to, the design, implementation and use of strategies to provide adaptability. This approach allows a comprehensive analysis and review in accordance with the social realities of local communities on adaptation behavior to drought will provide, and thus linking the macro strategies of adaptation to micro strategies of local communities in the areas of adaptability, vulnerability and resilience studies to environmental hazards such as drought will be even.
