Abstract

This paper reports the results of the first phase of a study that examined the trend and the main drivers of agricultural land conversion (ALC) in Northeast Iran. Using a multi-stakeholder analysis approach, data were obtained from agricultural land use policy makers in the Khorasan-e-Razavi province. The results showed that ALC in this province is on the rise. The policy makers identified different drivers for ALC and found it a very complex process. They attributed the main ALC driving forces to 바카라 사이트渆conomic바카라 사이트�, 바카라 사이트減olitical바카라 사이트�, 바카라 사이트渋nstitutional바카라 사이트�, 바카라 사이트渢echnical바카라 사이트�, 바카라 사이트渋nfrastructural바카라 사이트�, 바카라 사이트渟ocial바카라 사이트�, and 바카라 사이트渆nvironmental바카라 사이트� factors. The results also showed that, in the view of the policy makers, the 바카라 사이트減olitical and economic reforms바카라 사이트� should be the first and the most important priorities to respond to ALC followed by establishing proper 바카라 사이트渓egislation and law바카라 사이트� processes and 바카라 사이트渋nstitutional arrangements바카라 사이트� while 바카라 사이트渢echnical바카라 사이트� and 바카라 사이트渆nvironmental바카라 사이트� aspects remain as their last priority.
