چکیده

تغییرات آب‌وهوایی و ازجمله وقوع خشک‌سالی اثرت زیادی بر فعالیت‌ها و معیشت خانوارهای روستایی به‌ویژه در روستاهای مناطق مرزی که با کمبود گزینه‌های معیشتی روبه‌رو هستند، وارد می‌سازد. با توجه به اهمیت این موضوع، در پژوهش حاضر به بررسی اثرات خشک‌سالی بر فعالیت‌ها و معیشت خانوارهای روستایی شهرستان میرجاوه پرداخته شد. تحقیق حاضر از نظر هدف، کاربردی و روش انجام آن توصیفی-تحلیلی است. ابزار گردآوری داده‌ها و اطلاعات پرسش‌نامه، مصاحبه‌ی آزاد و مشاهده‌ی محقق از منطقه‌ی موردمطالعه بوده است. جامعه‌ی آماری، خانوارهای روستایی شهرستان میرجاوه در استان سیستان و بلوچستان است (29752 N=). با استفاده از فرمول کوکران و به روش نمونه‌گیری سهمیه‌ای، 348 خانوار به‌عنوان نمونه انتخاب گردید. برای تجزیه‌وتحلیل داده‌ها از آمار توصیفی و مدل رگرسیون لجستیک باینری (روش LM-نیوتن-مارکارد-رافسون) استفاده شد. نتایج نشان داد که از میان 18 متغیر در نظر گرفته‌شده، وقوع خشک‌سالی به ترتیب بیش‌ترین اثر را بر پنج متغیر کاهش تولیدات کشاورزی، کاهش درآمد و پس‌انداز، افزایش مهاجرت روستایی، کاهش منابع آب و کاهش تنوع گیاهی و جانوری منطقه داشته است. همچنین از نظر اثرات کلی خشک‌سالی بر ابعاد معیشتی خانوارهای روستایی، این پدیده بیش‌ترین اثر را بر فعالیت‌های اقتصادی، محیطی- فیزیکی و اجتماعی داشته است. از نتایج این پژوهش برای کاهش اثرات خشک‌سالی بر فعالیت‌ها و معیشت روستایی، کاهش مهاجرت روستایی و انجام روش‌های سازگاری با اثرات مهم آن می‌توان استفاده نمود.
