چکیده

مقدمه و هدف: آب و خاک دو منبع طبیعی ارزشمند هستند که بشر باید از آن­ها در برابر تخریب یا آلودگی محافظت کند. روش­ها و تکنیک­های گوناگونی وجود دارند که باعث کاهش روند تخریب و آلودگی آب و خاک می­شوند که به طور کلی، به اقدام‌های حفاظت از آب و خاک مرسوم­اند. در این مطالعه برای نخستین‌بار در ایران، عوامل موثر در شکل­گیری اعتماد اولیه بمنظور پذیرش اقدام‌های حفاظتی آب خاک، در بین شالی‌کارانی که در منطقه لشت نشاء، واقع در شمال ایران اشتغال دارند، مورد بررسی قرار گرفت.
مواد و روش­ها: از آنجا که وجود هر نوع رابطه بین دو شخص حقیقی یا حقوقی مستلزم وجود اعتماد است، از الگوی اعتماد اولیه  به عنوان یک الگوی مفهومی مستقل استفاده شد. متغیرهای مورد استفاده در این مطالعه عبارتند از: شهرت شرکت، میل به اعتماد، تضمین ساختاری درک شده، انتظار عملکرد، انظارات نسبت به تلاش، سن و اندازه مزرعه. بمنظور ارزیابی الگوی مفهومی (زیرا بخش اعظم این پژوهش از مولفه­های نگرشی تشکیل شده است) و متغیرهای ذکر شده، از مدلسازی معادلات ساختاری و نرم­افزار SMART-PLS3 استفاده شد.
یافته­ها: متغیر انتظارات نسبت به تلاش دارای بیش‌ترین تأثیر در میان متغیرهای موجود در الگوی مفهومی این مطالعه بود.
بحث و نتیجه­گیری: پیشنهاد این پژوهش این است که نهادهای مسئول در زمینه کشاورزی برای روشن‌شدن بیش‌تر کارایی و اثربخشی اقدام‌های حفاظتی آب وخاک، به برگزاری کنفرانس­ها و گردهمایی‌هایی را در مناطق روستایی با حضور کارشناسان آب و خاک و هم‌چنین، شالی‌کاران، مبادرت ورزند.

چکیده [English]

Introduction: Water and soil are two valuable natural resources, which, need high attenstion respect to protect against destruction or pollution. Various methods and techniques reduce the process of degradation and pollution of water and soil, which are generally common in water and soil conservation measures (WSCM). In this study, for the first time in Iran, the factors influencing the formation of initial trust in order to adopt soil and water conservation measures among paddy farmers located in the Lasht-e-Nesha district, located in northern Iran, were investigated.
Materials and Methods: Since the existence of any kind of relationship between two individuals or legal entities requires the existence of trust, we used the Initial Trust Model (ITM) as an independent conceptual model. The variables used in this study are firm reputation, propensity to trust, perceived structural assurance, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and age and farm size. To evaluate the conceptual model (Because most of this research is composed of attitudinal components) and the mentioned variables, we used structural equation modeling (SEM) and SMART-PLS3 software.
Findings: The variable Effort expectancy (EE) was found to have the greatest impact among the variables included in the conceptual model of this study.
Conclusion:  The article suggests that responsible institutions in the field of agriculture hold conferences and gatherings in rural areas with the presence of soil and water experts and paddy farmers in order to further clarify the efficiency and effectiveness of WSCM.
