摘要：In recent decades, climate change and frequent droughts havehad great impacts on farming systems and have led farmers tobecome accustomed to these conditions, which are causing problems, especially, for smallholder farmers. With the severe weatherevents and their adverse effects, especially in arid regions,farmers' adaptation to these changes is indisputable and criticalstrategy. Thus, farmers need to make complex decisions aboutmitigating the adverse effects of climate change to take advantageof newer opportunities as possible. The understanding of theprocess by which farmers decide to stand facing climate changesand probing into the determinants of the process provide researchevidence for policy makers to assist farmers to adapt to climatechange effects. This article would establish a conceptual framework,inclusive of factors influencing farmers’ decision-making to adaptto climate change, and would clarify causal relations amongthese factors. According to the results, household characteristics,economic factors, knowledge, motives and goals, perceived outcomes of adaptation, social, personal norms, perception of climatechange, perceived risk and obstacles, attitude towards climatechange, prospective perception of climate change, the evaluationof climate change, and adaptation initiatives could influencefarmers’ decisions to adapt to climate change.
