| Abstract: |
| In order to ensure the food security of the society and play an effective role in strengthening the national independence, the agricultural sector needs a quick transition from the subsistence and traditional production stage to the advanced and commercial production stage. Mechanization is an approach that enables the agricultural sector to reach the stage of commercial production. Without mechanization, there is no clear vision of dynamic and sustainable agriculture that can reasonably meet food needs. The development of mechanization in agricultural societies and especially in the rural areas of the country has been associated with problems that knowing the factors affecting it can help in planning to solve them. In this study, in order to determine the sensitivity of effective criteria in the non-development of mechanization of crushed lands in Jiroft region, the sensitivity test was used based on the hierarchical analytical process model. Social-family criteria, cultural-communication, educational-technical, legal-legal and economic-financial factors were weighted through pairwise comparison and the results were checked using Expert Choice 11 software. The findings of the research showed that the sensitivity of the social-family factor in Jiroft city, the main factor inhibiting the underdevelopment of agricultural mechanization in the region, was more and the cultural-communication, educational-technical, legal-legal and economic-financial factors were placed in the next priorities. By analyzing the sensitivity of the main criteria, it is suggested to implement the development of mechanization, localization of modern technology, education and promotion, trust building, credit and financial facilities for the modernization of agricultural tools. |
