Abstract

The research aimed to identify the application of the investigated fig growers to practices related to adaptation to climate change in the research area, and to determine the relationship between them and the independent variables studied and their contribution to explaining the variance explained by them.
This research was conducted in the Marsa Matrouh Center through the Ras al-Hekma and Jarawla communities on a simple random sample of 308 respondents. Its data was collected during the months of August and September 2023. Tabular presentation with frequencies, percentages, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, average degree, and simple correlation coefficient was used in analyzing the data. and the ascending stepwise multiple regression model
The search results showed the following:
1. 50.3% of the fig growers surveyed fall into the low category for applying optimal practices to adapt to climate change in the research area, and 40.3% fall into the medium category, while 9.4% of them fall into the high category.
2. There is a significant correlation between the degree of respondents’ application of climate change adaptation practices in the research area and eleven of the independent variables studied.
3. The percentage of contribution of relevant variables in explaining the total variance with the degree of respondents’ application of climate change adaptation practices amounted to 29.6% and is attributed to five variables.
