Tarımsal Üretim Problemlerinin Çözümünde Dini Tutum ve Davranışların Analizi

This study aims to analyse the effect of religious attitudes and behaviour of farmers engaged in rural life and agricultural activities on the solution of agricultural problems in the sample of Antalya. The religious mentality of the farmers through their actions and attitudes have been analysed in the context of agricultural perceptions, agricultural production problems and religious attitudes scales. The religious mentality in the solution of agricultural production problems is a subject that is dealt with in connection with the social problems and attitudes that develop over the change of agricultural activities. Farming, which has undergone a structural transformation with technological changes, is experiencing its most difficult period in the production-health equation today. Seed improvement, soil analysis, spraying in the production process has been moved from the traditional form to the modern form; this situation has created a trust problem for the product and the producer. In our study, which focuses on the question of "What is the effect of religious attitudes on the solution of agricultural production problems?", the data have been obtained through face-to-face interviews with the farmers of Antalya and three scales have been developed as agricultural perception, agricultural production problems and religious attitudes. While the scale of agricultural perception is handled in three aspects through the farmers' perceptions of land, profession and technology; the scale of religious attitudes is discussed in four aspects through fate, folk beliefs, traditional practices and fiqh rules. The scale of agricultural production problems is discussed as one-dimensional. Data collected through each of these three scales has been analysed with the help of standard deviation and mean and structural equation modelling (SEM) techniques. Within the framework of the structural equation model, four hypotheses have been developed and these hypotheses have been tested. A significant relationship has been found and predicted in all of the hypotheses put forward on the basis of the structural equation model. According to these results, the perception of fate explains 17% of the variance in the perception of agriculture and 12% of the variance in the perception of religious attitudes. Perception of agriculture as other predictor variables explains 31% of the variance in ethical problems while perception of religious attitude explains 6% of the variance in ethical pro
