Abstract: (5147 Views)
Iranian ecosystems are highly prone to prolonged drought condition. A drought has various economic, environmental, and social impacts. Assessing the resilience of involved human groups and population can assist managers to prevent permanent hazards. This study aimed to evaluate the resilience of local beneficiaries encountered with drought using various criteria and indices for social-cultural, human, economic, institutional, physical, and natural aspects in Nardin village, Semnan province. A questionnaire was used for data collection and the collected data was analyzed using SPSS software. A descriptive-analytic research type was used to collect data from 28 local beneficiaries based on Morgan table. This study revealed that average resilience of local beneficiaries of Nardin village was 2.95 that reflects their lower than optimum resilience. One-sample T-test showed that, although the locals have acceptable resilience in terms of social, cultural, economic, and natural aspects, regarding institutional aspects their resilience is rather low. We suggest focusing more on criteria and indices that enhance the resilience of rural beneficiaries to deal with prolonged drought conditions.
