 This study investigates the determinants influencing farmers' adaptive behaviors in response to drought conditions within Shushtar County, Khuzestan Province. This study was classified as qualitative research based on its applied purpose, causal-relational research in terms of its paradigm, and technical research. The research population consisted of all farmers in the area, from which a sample of 395 was derived using the Krejcie and Morgan table alongside a multi-stage sampling method with proportional allocation. Data collection employed a structured questionnaire, with its face and content validity confirmed by experts from the Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources University of Khuzestan, while reliability was established through Cronbach's alpha. The correlation analysis indicated significant associations between adaptive behaviors and several variables, including age, economic status, household assets, land ownership, livestock ownership, education level, access to market and extension services, access to weather information services, and availability of government resources. Notably, no significant correlation was identified between the household dimension and adaptive behaviors. Stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed that three key predictors—access to weather information services, economic status and household assets, and education level—accounted for 49.3% of the variance in adaptive behaviors related to drought management. These findings offer valuable insights for policymakers aimed at enhancing resilience against the impacts of climate change and drought in the agricultural sector.
