Model for Pastoral Housholds Resilience under Drought Condition

Drought phenomenon stands as one of the most significant challenges of the contemporary era, exerting its influence on all ecosystems, including rangelands, at both global and regional scales. The heightened vulnerability of pastoralists underscores the necessity of embracing the concept of resilience. This research aims to investigate existing studies on the resilience of pastoralists under drought conditions and to propose a comprehensive model. A systematic review methodology was employed in this study. The findings of relevant domestic and international research were systematically analyzed using the seven-stage method of Sandelowski and Barroso. Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, 30 studies were examined. The Waltz and Bausell method was employed to assess the validity of the extracted data. The reliability was also assessed through the Kappa coefficient, yielding a value of 0.87, indicating excellent agreement. The research results led to the formulation of a comprehensive model comprising seven factors: economic, social, individual, institutional, physical, educational-promotional, and ecological. Among these factors, the economic factor emerged as one of the most influential. The resultant model, identifying the factors that impact the resilience of pastoralists under drought conditions, provides the potential for enhancing crisis management, reducing vulnerability, and establishing the necessary groundwork for nationwide rangeland planning.
