Abstract

This paper aimed to identify the perception of farmers of some dimensions of the concepts of renewable energy and climate change in specific rural areas in Fayoum governorate. In addition, it aimed to examine the relationships between some of the farmers' demographic and socio-economic characteristics as independent variables and their degrees of perception of climate change and renewable energy as dependent variables. The study was conducted on a random sample of 226 respondents in two villages (El-Hamidia El-Gdeda and El-Mazatly) in Fayoum governorate in Egypt. Data were collected during October and November 2022 using a pretested structured questionnaire through personal interviews. The results showed that the majority of farmers belong to the middle level of perception for both climate change and renewable energy. Also there are significant relationships between both the total number of years the farmer spent in formal education and the total number of years spent working in agriculture with both the levels of farmers' perception of renewable energy and the degrees of farmers' perception of climate change at 0.01 and 0.05 level of significance respectively. The other variables of the age, total area of owned land, and annual income did not prove to have any significant relationships with neither the degrees of farmers' perception of climate change nor with the farmers' renewable energy perception score.
