Measurement of Iranian Nomadic Householdsʹ Attitudes towards Settlement and Existing Problems A Case Study of the Arabian Nomads of Jarquyeh

This research aimed at studying the Jarquyeh Arabian nomadic householdsʹ attitudes towards migration and settlement and recognizing their economic, social and biological problems. Currently_ nomads of the country might be categorized into two groups in terms of the type of their attitudes towards the nomadic living: a group who is willing to continue migrating, and the other group who is interested in being settled. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on two issues in the planning for nomads: one is to provide for the required facilities to improve the standards of nomadic living, and the other is to set the scene for a planned settlement of those interested in being settled. target population of the research includes the Jarquyeh Arabian nomad households covered by the services of the Isfahan Namadic Affairs Organization. Informations are collected through a questionnaire method. Statistical operations are conducted at both descriptive and inferential levels. At the descriptive level, data are compared and analyzed using the percentage and mean figures; and the inferential level, the Chi-Squared test and the Chuprov consistency coefficient are used. According to the results, the migration of nomadic households might be largely caused, in terms of frequency, by lack of expertise, livelihood and using ranges, while it is not mainly happened by their consent or interest; and the tendency to settlement may be largely induced, in terms of frequency, by hardship of migration,avoiding any struggle with others for using pastures, and benefiting from facilities though slightly. The most important problems faced by the nomadic households in terms of frequency respectively include: scarce animal drugs, lack of grazing license, problems concerned with moving animals through and using pastures, lack of access to physicians, expensive and scarce forage and barley, and inappropriate site for keeping animals.
