Water deficit caused by climate change due to the extent and magnitude of the social and economic damages it causes, is one of the most dangerous natural disasters that causes irreparable damage to the agricultural and water resources of the country. In other words, it has devastating effects on the productive, economic, social and environmental sectors. The purpose of this study was to analyze the components of resilience and present a model of resilience of the local community in the face of climate change. The statistical population of the study consisted of rural community of Nodushan watershed which was used for sample size of Cochran formula and 100 people were surveyed based on a researcher-made questionnaire. The Resilience Component Analysis Questionnaire was used. Data were analyzed using SPSS25 and LISREL8.8 software. To investigate the fit of the resilience component measurement model, the data was analyzed used LISREL software. The results showed that among the resiliency indices, the indicators of "local networks" and "financial and infrastructure" with 91 percent and 84 percent path coefficients were better than other indices, respectively. "Compatible management status" and "risk-taking" with 10 percent and 8 percent path coefficients, respectively, are not appropriate. Also, results showed that the goodness-of-fit indices had values and confirmed the resilience dimension measurement model with the data. Therefore, it can be acknowledged that the results of this study can in actions and can be effective in promoting and adopting climate change crisis mitigation mechanisms to create resilience in the local community.

This study aims to examine the role and value of local community awareness of the economic value of carbon sequestration as an important rangeland ecosystem services in order to increase the participation of local community for conservation of rangeland. In order to explain the role and value of awareness in increasing the participation of people in both experimental and control groups, Contingent Valuation Method and dichotomous choice – double bounded format was used and willingness of local communities to pay to preserve pastures were measured. The results showed in two separate groups have a significant difference in terms of willingness to pay for conservation of rangeland, that the difference between the willingness to pay represents the exact value of awareness in increasing willingness to pay for conservation of pasture. In the experimental group, the average willingness to pay was 89410.84 Rials and in the control group average, the average willingness to pay was 32560.88 Rials. The difference between the average willingness of people to pay in two groups is the equivalent of 57039.12 Rials. The average willingness of people to pay each year in the village of test and control group respectively is 2587230.6 and 1657100.05 Rials. The proposed knowledge up to local communities in the Malard County of the carbon sequestration process as well as the role and its position in relation to the welfare of local communities, especially with regard to the beginning of the implementation of the International Generalized Carbon Sequestration in the county take priority.
