【 摘 要 】

The main objective in this causal -correlation field research is to identify effective factors in rural youths attitude to agricultural occupation in Kohgiluye and Boyerahmad, Iran. Rural young people between 15 and 25 in Kohgiluye and Boyerahmad province are the subjects of this study. The method of data collection is cluster sampling. The technique of data collection is questionnaire. The specialty panel was used to gain assurance of the validity of the questionnaire. Cronbach alpha method was used to gain assurance of the reliability of the questionnaire (α = 0.79). In addition to descriptive statistics (such as mean, median, variance and standard deviation), inferential statistics such as, Spearman's coefficient of correlation, Mann–Whitney test, Kruskal Wallis test, multivariate regression and factor analysis technique were used for analyzing data. The consequences of multivariate regression, done with the method of Enter, indicate that the variable of type of farming system, range of acquaintance with corresponsive organizations, participation in extension and education classes, insurance, age and range of rural young peoples income have the main role (51%) in showing the variations of dependent variables (attitude to agricultural occupation). Results of factor analysis showed that five factors: improvement of physical and financial substructures, improvement of information and communication substructures, improvement of new technologies, extension and economic activities, and improvement of desirable lands have the main role (68.8%) in showing the variations of dependent variables (attitude to agricultural occupation).
