Abstract

Farmers in the south-west coastal Bangladesh are frequently affected by climate change due to their proximity to the Bay of Bengal and heavy reliance on agriculture for their livelihoods. In this case, farmers need to know the best implementation methods (adaptation strategies) to reduce crop losses in a changing climate. The present research evaluated the perceptions of farmers to climate change and determine the socio-economic factors which influence the farmers in choosing the right adaptation decisions. Data were collected through close-ended and open-ended structured questionnaire from 52 coastal households and analyzed through descriptive statistics and logistic regression using SPSS V.16. Results revealed that almost all farmers perceived increasing temperature and changes in rainfall patterns over the last 15 years. In response to a changing climate, farmers adopted 13 adaptation strategies where irrigation ranked the first and crop insurance was the last. The logit analysis suggests that household age, education, family income, family member, farm size, farming experience, organizational participations, and training received have a significant influence on farmer’s adaptation choices. Despite various support and technological interventions being available, changing weather, natural disaster pattern, lower income, and lack of credit facilities ranked as the highest problems farmers encountered during adaptation. This study helps to identify important household characteristics that can be applied in the future to formulate and implement a successful adaptation policy. Finally, this study recommends that effective training and early warning systems and provision of credit and market access facilities are necessary to enhance farmer’s resilience to climate change.
农民感知及影响采取适应措施应对气候变化的因素:来自孟加拉国沿海地区的证据
孟加拉国西南沿海的农民经常受到气候变化的影响,因为他们靠近孟加拉湾,严重依赖农业谋生。在这种情况下,农民需要知道在气候变化中减少作物损失的最佳实施方法(适应策略)。本研究评估了农民对气候变化的看法,并确定了影响农民选择正确适应决策的社会经济因素。数据通过封闭式和开放式结构问卷从52个沿海家庭中收集,并使用SPSS V.16通过描述性统计和逻辑回归进行分析。结果显示,在过去15年中,几乎所有农民都感受到了气温的升高和降雨模式的变化。为了应对气候变化,农民采取了13项适应战略,其中灌溉排在第一位,作物保险排在最后。logit分析表明,家庭年龄、教育程度、家庭收入、家庭成员、农场规模、农业经验、组织参与度和接受的培训对农民的适应选择有显著影响。尽管有各种支持和技术干预措施,但不断变化的天气、自然灾害模式、较低的收入和缺乏信贷设施是农民在适应过程中遇到的最大问题。这项研究有助于确定重要的家庭特征,这些特征可以在未来用于制定和实施成功的适应政策。最后,这项研究建议,有效的培训和预警系统以及提供信贷和市场准入设施对于提高农民应对气候变化的能力是必要的。

期刊介绍: The Environment and Natural Resources Journal is a peer-reviewed journal, which provides insight scientific knowledge into the diverse dimensions of integrated environmental and natural resource management. The journal aims to provide a platform for exchange and distribution of the knowledge and cutting-edge research in the fields of environmental science and natural resource management to academicians, scientists and researchers. The journal accepts a varied array of manuscripts on all aspects of environmental science and natural resource management. The journal scope covers the integration of multidisciplinary sciences for prevention, control, treatment, environmental clean-up and restoration. The study of the existing or emerging problems of environment and natural resources in the region of Southeast Asia and the creation of novel knowledge and/or recommendations of mitigation measures for sustainable development policies are emphasized. The subject areas are diverse, but specific topics of interest include: -Biodiversity -Climate change -Detection and monitoring of polluted sources e.g., industry, mining -Disaster e.g., forest fire, flooding, earthquake, tsunami, or tidal wave -Ecological/Environmental modelling -Emerging contaminants/hazardous wastes investigation and remediation -Environmental dynamics e.g., coastal erosion, sea level rise -Environmental assessment tools, policy and management e.g., GIS, remote sensing, Environmental -Management System (EMS) -Environmental pollution and other novel solutions to pollution -Remediation technology of contaminated environments -Transboundary pollution -Waste and wastewater treatments and disposal technology
