Abstract: (18 Views)
Objective: The main goal of this research is to identify, prioritize, and analyze the challenges and problems related to agriculture and natural resources in the Lower Atrak River basin, with a focus on the Chat region of Gonbad-e Kavus County. Relying on the perspectives of local elites, experts, and stakeholders, the study strives to explain the causal relationships between the human and natural factors influencing these challenges and to provide a basis for informed decision-making for sustainable resource management.
Methods: This research is qualitative in nature and applied in its objective. Data were collected through the review of upstream documents and a specialized questionnaire based on a five-point Likert scale. The reliability of the research instrument was assessed using Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient. To prioritize the issues and problems, the non-parametric Friedman test was employed. Furthermore, the DPSIR conceptual model was used as the analytical framework for the research to analyze the causal relationships among the driving forces, pressures, states, impacts, and responses.
