| Summary: | This study was designed to determine the factors that affect variation of level of
participation in Watershed Management Programs (WMP) in Iran. In this regard, a
conceptual model was developed to: 1) identify characteristics that lead to the
participation in WMP, and 2) determine the factors that affect variation of level of
participation in WMP. In this study the relationship of five factors with level of
participation were examined to provide the role of each factor in explaining the
variation of level of participation in WMP. These factors were; 1) socio demographic
characteristics of the respondents, 2) respondents knowledge of WMP, 3) respondents
attitude toward WMP, 4) respondents expectations of WMP, and 5) respondents
satisfaction of prior programs as independent variables and the level of participation
as dependent variable.In order to achieve to this goal, a cross sectional survey was design and utilized. The
data were gathered through personal interview by using a set of questionnaire. data were collected from two hundred respondents which were randomly selected
from three villages in Hable-Rud basin in Iran. Descriptive analysis, factor analysis,
Pearson product moment correlation, one way analysis of variance and multiple
regressions were employed for analyzing data in this study. |
