    Abstract

    This research has tried to investigate the factors affecting the adoption of Noghandari. The reasons for not welcoming farmers should also be analyzed. For this purpose, the Noghandaran community of Langrod and Shaft regions, considering the importance of these two regions in the Noghandari of the province, with the largest number of Noghandar households, was considered as the research statistical community. Based on the number of people in the society (N=4187), the number of samples was calculated (N=198) and accordingly, the number of people in the second group of the study, which included non-Noghandar farmers in these areas, was also determined. The required data were collected through questionnaires whose questions were designed based on research objectives, previous studies and with the cooperation of relevant experts. In order to examine the individual characteristics, including the age of the study subjects, the history of activity in Noughandari, the number of dependents, the level of education, the area of ??tutestans, the number of talembars and their type of ownership, the amount of income from Noughandari activities, as well as non-Noughandari activities, according to the subject, descriptive statistics such as frequency, frequency percentage, mean, standard deviation, variance, etc. were used. The collected data were presented in the form of a descriptive statistics table. In the inferential statistics section, in order to investigate the objectives of the research and test its hypotheses, chi-square test, t-test of two independent groups, Mann-Whitney U-test and binomial test were used according to the topic and according to the research variables. In addition, a number of questions that were generally related to the impact of support policies on the acceptance of Noghandari were measured using a Likert scale. The results of the research showed that all personal characteristics other than gender, i.e. age, number of dependents, education, Noghandari history, as well as technical, economic and educational characteristics such as the type of ownership of talmbar, the income generation of Noghandari due to the short cultivation time compared to other agricultural activities, the desire to restore talmbar, the desire to participate in Noghandari classes and training courses related to Noghandari have a mutual relationship with the acceptance of Noghandari. Also, the investigations showed that there is a significant difference between the two groups in question regarding the effect of all the support policies, i.e. granting loans and facilities for the reconstruction and construction of telmbars, insurance for silkworm breeding, education and promotion of silkworm husbandry and related activities, free distribution of modified seedlings, distribution of highly productive silkworm eggs, and guaranteed purchase of cocoons. Based on the results, all the listed support policies have been effective on the acceptance of Noghandari. However, the free distribution of modified seedlings, the distribution of high-production Noghan eggs and the guaranteed purchase of cocoons in both Noghandari and non-Noghandari groups have had the greatest effect on the adoption of Noghandari. rtl;">1- Introduction

    More production, fair distribution of wealth, obtaining a higher standard of living and providing a more comfortable life are the general goals of today's societies, which each one seeks to achieve in different ways (Keshavarz, 2009). In general, in developing countries, the structure and basis of the development of economic activities is based on agriculture. Therefore, countries whose foundation is based on agriculture have a greater relative advantage in production (Kiani Rad, 2019).

    Nughandari and production of silk products are among the activities that can bring income to rural households in a short period of time, along with other agricultural activities. The existence of climatic conditions and favorable facilities for the development of Noghandari and silk industries in Iran and the employment creation of this activity by taking advantage of hidden unemployment and concentrated forces in the village on the one hand and its proper expansion in accordance with the climatic conditions of different regions on the other hand, can be effective in solving some of the economic and social problems of farmers (Rahi, 2013). It shows that this profession has never disappeared or been forgotten during different periods and in the face of various obstacles and problems.

    The history of Nowghandari in Iran with its long history shows that this profession has never been lost or forgotten during different periods and faced with various obstacles and problems, but it has continued to decline and rise. Silk is exquisite from ancient times to today. One of the distinctive features of this industry, in addition to the carpet industry, is its job creation. There are many jobs in the silk industry, from the stage of production to the final transformation, which are sometimes permanent jobs.

    In this regard, a logical and planned approach to the side activities of agriculture and conversion industries and handicrafts by increasing the level of employment and generating income can also contribute to its development and revitalization while maintaining the rural context, and make rural living more economical. Noghandari and its related jobs such as carpet weaving and production of silk products are among these activities, which are able to generate an economic incentive and employ a part of the village's labor force, and earn a relatively decent income for the rural household. For this reason, it is important to investigate the causes of the farmers' tendency and also the lack of luck of another group of them towards this industry. The percentage of cocoons and having the largest number of beneficiaries of Noghandari activity in the country is considered as the pole of Noghandari activity in Iran. In recent years, the production of cocoons and silk in Iran has decreased by more than fifty percent (Iran Silkworm Breeding Joint Stock Company, 2017). During the same period, the wages of workers in Iran, especially in Gilan, increased sharply, and due to the labor-intensiveness of Noghandari, the price of the produced cocoons could not meet the farmer's efforts. The economic unprofitability of cocoon production occurred in a situation where the price of land also increased unprecedentedly, and this issue provided enough motivation to change the use of tutestans. In addition, competing agricultural products also benefited from a better relative situation, and overall the motivation to produce cocoons decreased. Despite the decrease in cocoon production and the decrease in the supply of domestic silk thread in recent years, the price of silk thread did not increase. This issue was due to the decrease in the price of silk thread in the world markets and the production of cheap silk in Iran's neighboring countries such as Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. Considering the quality of its Noghan eggs, which has high competitiveness, Iran was one of the exporters of Noghan eggs to Central Asian countries in 1380 and 1381, which unfortunately lost these markets in recent years.

    The increasing consumption of silk products due to the improvement of people's living standards, especially in developed countries, and the popularity of these products among environmentalists in the world due to the importance of their properties The physical and chemical properties of silk for health and hygiene, on the one hand, and the cessation or reduction of silk spinning in developed countries due to limited land and increased labor wages, has provided a good opportunity for developing countries to increase silk production in their countries by using new methods. They became silk. On the other hand, countries such as India and China continue to step on the path of industrialization, but they are the leaders of silk production (Rahi, 2010).

    In recent years, Noghandari activity in Iran has faced a severe recession. This is not due to the lack of capabilities of this vast land, but the occurrence of some obstacles and problems has challenged silk farming and silk production in Iran today, like some other agricultural sub-sectors (Sidawi et al., 2015).
