چکیده

با توجه به اهمیت اندازه­ گیری کیفیت زندگی و ضرورت برنامه ­ریزی صحیح و کارآمد برای اجرای پروژه ­های لازم جهت بهبود و ارتقای سطح رفاه روستاییان به ­ویژه طبقه محروم آنان نیاز اساسی به مطالعات گسترده و عمیق در مناطق روستایی وجود دارد. از­این ­رو، مطالعه حاضر با هدف بررسی عوامل مؤثر بر کیفیت زندگی خانوارهای روستایی در اقلیم­ های استان آذربایجان ­شرقی انجام گرفت. بدین­ منظور، پرسش­نامه ­ای پس از آزمون روایی به­ صورت روایی صوری و آزمون پایایی به روش مطالعه پیشاهنگ (با ضریب آلفای کرونباخ از 0.80 تا 0.96) از 384 سرپرست خانوار با روش نمونه ­گیری تصادفی طبقه­ ای با انتساب متناسب، تکمیل شد. در این مطالعه از روش طبقه ­بندی اقلیمی آمبرژه با شاخص­ های اقلیم­ بندی میزان بارندگی، متوسط حداکثر و حداقل دما در گرم­ترین و سردترین ماه­های سال تحت عناوین اقلیم­ های فراخشک سرد، نیمه خشک فراسرد تا نیمه خشک معتدل، مدیترانه ­ای فراسرد و سرد و نیمه مرطوب فراسرد استفاده شد. بر اساس نتایج، میانگین کیفیت زندگی روستاییان در مقایسه با متوسط نمره استاندارد پایین بوده و از نظر آماری نیز تفاوت معنی­ داری با آن داشت. اقلیم مدیترانه­ ای فراسرد و سرد استان برای تولید محصولات کشاورزی مناسب بوده که موجب افزایش عملکرد و به تبع آن، افزایش درآمد حاصل از محصولات کشاورزی شده است. از­این­رو، کیفیت زندگی روستاییان این اقلیم بالا بوده و تفاوت آماری معنی ­داری نسبت به سایر مناطق استان داشت. همچنین، این مطالعه توانست 50 درصد از عوامل مهمی که بر کیفیت زندگی روستاییان این استان مؤثر بودند را بررسی نماید. همان طور که نتایج رگرسیون نشان داد 50 درصد از تغییرات متغیر کیفیت زندگی روستاییان با پنج عامل "درآمدهای کشاورزی"، "فاصله روستا از جاده آسفالت مناسب"، "تعداد افراد تحصیل‏ کرده در خانواده"، "سطح تحصیلات سرپرست خانواده" و "میزان پیشرفت در استفاده از تکنولوژی ­ها و روش­های صنعتی در تولیدات کشاورزی"، تبیین شدند که تأثیر غیرمستقیمی نیز بر آن داشتند. اطلاع­رسانی از پیش­ بینی­ های اقتصادی لازم مثل نوسانات قیمت محصولات زیرکشت، اجرای طرح­های جاده­ سازی در روستاهای این استان، اجرای طرح­های مؤثر سوادآموزی و افزایش امکانات آموزشی در تمامی مقاطع تحصیلی در روستاها، احیای بنگاه­ها و تعاونی­ های توسعه مکانیزاسیون کشاورزی و پرداخت وام­های بلندمدت کم ­بهره و نظارت­شده برای روستاییان به ­ویژه در اقلیم­های غیرمناسب برای تولیدات کشاورزی از پیشنهادهای این مطالعه بودند.

چکیده [English]

Due to the importance of measuring the quality of life and the necessity of correct and efficient planning to implement necessity projects to improve and enhance the welfare of villagers, especially their deprived class, there is a basic need for extensive and in-depth studies in rural areas. Therefore, the present study was done, to investigate the factors affecting rural households’ life quality in the climates of East Azerbaijan province. For this purpose, a questionnaire after validity test, in the form of face validity, and reliability test by Scout study method (with Cronbach's alpha coefficient from 0.80 to 0.96) from 384 heads of households by stratified random sampling method with proportional assignment, were completed. In this study, climate classification method of Amberje with climatic indices of rainfall, average maximum and minimum temperature in the warmest and coldest months of the year under the headings climates super-arid of cold, semi-arid super-cold to semi-arid temperate, Mediterranean of super-cold and cold, and semi-humid of ultra-cold was used. According to the results, the average quality of life of villagers was low compared to the average standard score, and had statistically significant difference from it. Of course, due to the suitability of the Mediterranean climate of super-cold and cold of this province for the production of agricultural products, we find increases in the yield and income of agricultural products. Therefore, villagers of this climate statistically with significant difference had more quality of life than the other regions of the province. In addition, this study was able to investigate 50 percent of the important factors that affected the quality of life of villagers in this province. As the results of regression showed that 50 percent from variations of the life quality variable of villagers with 5 factors: "agricultural revenues", "distance of village from suitable asphalt road", "number of educated people in the family", "education level of the head of family", and "level of progress in the use of industrial technologies and methods in agricultural productions", were explainedwhen learning indirect effects on them. Informing about the necessary economic forecasts such as fluctuations in the price of cultivated agricultural products, implementation of construction road projects in the villages of this province, implementation of effective literacy projects and increasing educational facilities in all educational levels in the villages, revival of enterprises and cooperatives of the development of agricultural mechanization and the payment of long-term, low-interest and supervised loans to villagers, especially in unsuitable climates for agricultural productions were the recommendations of this study.
