Insurance role to nomadic rangers in eastern area of Golestan province (Iran)
Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
Activities of nomadic ranchers are dependent upon natural circumstances and its unpredictable risks. Abating of risk issues can be achieved by means of insuring of products, farms, and rangelands. In order to survey the insurance role for ranching, 202 questionnaires stemmed from Cochran formula using fieldwork monitoring and accidentally collecting the data from the ranchers of eastern area in the Golestan province. Reliability of questions (76.34%) was tested by Chronbach formula using SPSS v.22 software. Statistical analysis showed that the most ranchers were sojourners (88.62%) and illiterate (60.89%) who 94.55 % of them have grazing permission licenses. About 29.79% of ranchers have dealt with ranching. The most ranchers (51.48%) have about 51 to 150 heads in their herds. Wolves attacking and downfall of animal (14.36%) were the most natural hazard to herds. The ranchers were looked upon that private insurers do not propend to insuring because of lack of economic advantages while it is a grantee to ranching activities. For the most part, the ranchers were encouraged to insure through compensation getting of damages, desirable proposal package regarding to their cultures, goodwill of insurance agents, and building up promotive and tutorial workshops to each ranchers individually.
