Abstract

In recent years, the intensification of disasters associated with climate change has posed an increasing threat to agricultural production. Especially, damage to agricultural products caused by disasters can be a significant source of perceived management risk, potentially affecting future farm operations. Meanwhile, adaptation strategies may offer farmers a viable approach to mitigating the management risks associated with the intensification of climate-related disasters. Accordingly, this study employs structural equation modeling to clarify how experiences with past disasters and the resulting perception of management risks affect farmers’ decisions to adopt adaptation strategies. Furthermore, the characteristics of farmers who have adoptedadaptation measures are analyzed using the New Ecological Paradigm scale. The results of this study suggest that it is important to understand in detail the factors that influence farmers' decisions, as well as their attributes and regional characteristics, in order to promote the adoption of adaptation measures.
