چکیده

هدف این مطالعه بررسی و تحلیل رفتار مالی کشاورزان برای کاهش اثرات سوء زیست محیطی نهاده های شیمیایی کشاورزی می باشد. برای دستیابی به هدف مورد نظر با استفاده از رهیافت ارزش گذاری مشروط و بهره گیری از مدل توبیت به روش دو مرحله ای هکمن، تعداد 100 پرسشنامه به روش نمونه گیری تصادفی ساده، از کشاورزان حوضه آبخیز رودخانه کشف رود شهرستان مشهد در سال 1392 جمع آوری گردید. نتایج نشان داد متغیرهای سن، تحصیلات، نوع فعالیت کشاورزی، وضعیت مالکیت زمین، شاخص 2 (موافقت کشاورزان با اثرات سوء استفاده بیش از حد از کودها و سموم شیمیایی)، شاخص 5 (موافقت کشاورزان با سرمایه گذاری برای حفظ آب و خاک)، جنسیت، تعداد افراد خانوار شاغل در کشاورزی، تجربه به کارگیری عملیات حفاظتی آب و خاک، کل سطح زیر کشت و شاخص 4 (موافقت با خوب بودن آب و خاک در دسترس) تأثیر معنی داری بر مشارکت مالی کشاورزان برای کاهش اثرات سوء زیست محیطی کود شیمیایی دارد. همچنین، متغیرهای سن، تحصیلات، کل میزان سموم شیمیایی مصرفی سالانه، جنسیت، شغل اصلی، تعداد افراد خانوار شاغل در کشاورزی، نوع فعالیت کشاورزی، پس انداز خالص کشاورزی، وضعیت مالکیت زمین، کل میزان کود شیمیایی مصرفی سالانه، شاخص 1 (موافقت کشاورزان با فواید جلوگیری از شستشوی خاک)، شاخص 4 (موافقت با خوب بودن آب و خاک در دسترس) و شاخص 5 (موافقت کشاورزان با سرمایه گذاری برای حفظ آب و خاک) تأثیر معنی داری بر میزان مشارکت مالی کشاورزان برای کاهش اثرات سوء زیست محیطی سموم شیمیایی دارد. با توجه به نتایج مطالعه، پیشنهاد می شود که به منظور حفظ و بهبود وضعیت آب و خاک مبلغی به عنوان عوارض بر اساس یافته‌های تحقیق اخذ شود.

چکیده [English]

The purpose of this study is the analysis of the farmers economic behavior to reduce the adverse environmental effects of agricultural chemical inputs by using contingent valuation approach and Tobit model by Heckman's two stage. To achieve the desired goal, 100 questionnaires collected by a random sampling from farmers of Kashaf- rood basin in Mashhad city in 2013. Results showed that variables of age, education, type of agricultural activity, index 2 (farmers agree with the adverse effects of overuse of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, index 5 (farmers agree with investments to protect the soil and water), Sex, number of households employed in agriculture, experience in the use of soil and water conservation practices, total area under cultivation and index 4 (farmers agree with well being of available soil and water) have a significant impact on the farmers financial participation to reduce the adverse environmental effects of chemical fertilizers. also, variables of age, education, total amount annual consumption of chemical pesticides per year, sex, main job, number of households employed in agriculture, type of agricultural activity, net savings of agriculture, land ownership status, total amount annual consumption of fertilizer per year, index 1 (farmers agree with benefits of preventing soil washing), index 4 (farmers agree with well being of available soil and water) and index 5 (farmers agree with investments to protect the soil and water) have a significant impact on the farmers financial participation to reduce the adverse environmental effects of chemical pesticides. According to the study results, Suggestions is presented for reducing the adverse environmental impacts of chemical inputs.
