تأثير بعض المظاهر الثقافية للمزارعين على تبني تقنيات الري الحديث في المنطقة الوسطى من سورية

Abstract EN

The general objective of this research was to identify the effect of some cultural aspects of farmers on the adoption of modern irrigation techniques in the Central Region., where data was collected in a stratified random sample of 328 farmers in the governorates of Homs, Hama during 2016.

This research dealt with two cultural manifestations, the first of which is the attitude of farmers towards some defective practices resulting from the man's transgression of the work of women or vice versa, due to the division of labor between them within the same social system.

And the extent of their belief in superstitions.

By analyzing the Pearson correlation coefficient, it was found that there was a significant negative correlation relationship at the level of 1 p≤ 0.0 between "the degree of farmers' adoption of modern irrigation techniques" and each of the two cultural aspects studied.

A study of the multiple regression coefficient found that the two independent variables represented in the "farmers' attitude towards some defective practices," "the farmers 'attitude towards some traditional categories," explain about (12.9%) of the degree of farmers 'adoption of modern irrigation techniques and linked with it in an inverse relationship.
