One of the basic strategies to strengthen the sustainable livelihood of local communities against environmental crises, including climate change, is to increase the resilience of these communities against disruption and chaos created in ecological systems. therefore The present research was conducted with the goal of gardeners' sustainable livelihood resilience model to climate change in Hamadan province. The research method was descriptive-correlational and causal-relational. The statistical population included the gardeners of Hamedan province (N=53785). The sample size was 380 people using the Krejcie and Morgan table, and the stage sampling method was used. In this research, the situation of sustainable livelihood resilience model of gardeners in Hamedan province in the face of climate change was analyzed by using questionnaire tool and using statistical software SPSS22 and SMART PLS3 and the reliability and validity of the model were confirmed according to the calculated indicators. In total, based on the average of 3.22 out of 5 (sd=1.01), it can be concluded that the livelihood resilience of gardeners in the face of climate change in Hamedan province is evaluated at an average level. The results of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) indicate that environmental norms (β=0.691) and adaptation capacity with climate fluctuations (β=0.606) have a positive and significant effect on the resilience of sustainable livelihoods, the environmental attitude variable It has a positive and significant effect on environmental beliefs (β=0.617), place attachment has a positive and significant effect on adaptation capacity (β=0.610) and the environmental attitude of gardeners in the face of climate change (β=0.567). Also, based on the results, the variable of environmental awareness has a positive and significant effect on adaptation capacity with climate fluctuations (β=0.536) and the variable of environmental beliefs also has a positive and significant effect on environmental norms in the face of climate change (β=0.667). In total, based on the findings, 0.72 of the changes in the dependent variable of sustainable livelihood resilience are directly or indirectly explained by the independent variables of environmental attitude, environmental awareness, environmental beliefs, environmental norms, place attachment and adaptation capacity. The results of this research can be useful and practical for decision-makers in the field of agriculture, especially horticulture, from the point of view of environmental psychology.

Agriculture is inherently a high-risk activity, and agricultural production is always associated with a set of risks related to prices and environmental risks. Crop insurance contributes to reducing these risks and encouraging farmers, gardeners, and other operators in the field of agriculture to work and produce. Insurance is an effective tool in risk management in agriculture. It is actually a type of technology that was created to reduce the risk aversion of farmers and, as a result, increase their efficiency in the optimal use of production factors. The present research aims to identify the factors influencing the acceptance of crop insurance.

In terms of purpose, the research is an applied and descriptive-analytical study conducted by the survey approach. The statistical population consisted of gardeners in Gachsaran County. The sample whose size was estimated at 340 gardeners using Cochran's formula was taken by the random sampling method. The main instrument was a questionnaire whose validity was confirmed by a panel of experts and its reliability was estimated at 0.73 by Cronbach's alpha coefficient.

The results showed that economic factors with a significance level of 0.258, social factors with a significance level of 0.243, motivational factors with a significance level of 0.226, and insurance-related factors with a significance level of 0.221 had a positive and significant effect on the acceptance of crop insurance. Based on the results, economic factors play the biggest role in the acceptance of crop insurance, so it is suggested to apply such solutions as guaranteed purchase of products, elimination of middlemen, quick payment of compensation, focus on risky farmers, and orientation of crop insurance with farmers.
