In this paper, in addition to introducing As shown in Figure 1، teleprotection system is an interface types of telecommunication technology and protection system, between the protection system and the telecommunication problems existed in applying the digital telecommunication devices. Therefore, it includes the segments which prepare network is also evaluated for protection purpose in micro-grids inputs and outputs based on this equipment.

  • Clarifying the Role of Drought Adaptation Strategies on Changing Farming Mode by Livestock Farmers: Evidence from Komijan Township, Iran
    Archive of SID J. Agr. Sci. Tech. (2020) Vol. 22(2): 333-346 Clarifying the Role of Drought Adaptation Strategies on Changing Farming Mode by Livestock Farmers: Evidence from Komijan Township, Iran H. Shabanali Fami1, S. Azizi1, and A. Alambeigi1* ABSTRACT The current empirical research was conducted to investigate the impact of drought on livestock production with the main objective of studying the role of adaptation strategies in the process of changing the farming mode from crop-oriented to livestock-oriented by farmers in Komijan Township, Iran. Komijan has been facing a long period of drought that has affected farming systems of the area. Primary data were collected through interview using a questionnaire. The statistical population of the study consisted of livestock farmers in the area (N= 1,000), out of which 200 people were selected. The participants in research were interviewed using simple random sampling and Descriptive–Correlation research method. Logistic regression was used as the main statistical technique. Logit function with an odds ratio of 70.4% showed that strategies of shifting livestock as well as production management were the main responses of the farmers to drought conditions. Those farmers with a high level of perceived vulnerability were more capable of adapting themselves to drought than the others. Hence, perceived vulnerability is associated with production or farming mode. Keywords: Descriptive–Correlation research, Perceived vulnerability, Production Mode, Strategy.
