Considering the increasing importance of sustainable operations in the agricultural sector and the relationship between producers and consumers, the current study was to determine customers' attitudes on participation in community-supported aquaculture programs in Kurdistan province (in the west of Iran). The present study was a survey, non-experimental, applied, and descriptive-correlational research. Using a literature review and field studies, factors affecting consumers' attitudes have been extracted. Then, to determine validity, the questionnaire was given to a panel of subject matter experts. Furthermore, to assess the reliability of the research instrument, the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was calculated. The results showed the good validity and reliability of the research tool. Moreover, structural equation modeling was used to confirm the proposed model. The results showed that among the factors affecting the attitude of consumers, the price of aquatic products had the first place, which has been neglected in the previous studies. In this regard, it was suggested that by creating support funds and facilities for the participation of consumers in community-supported aquaculture programs, setting standards for healthy aquatic products, and producing programs related to the introduction of community-supported aquaculture programs on the radio and television, the attitude of the consumers can be improved.
考虑到可持续运营在农业领域的重要性日益增加以及生产者与消费者之间的关系，本研究旨在确定库尔德斯坦省（位于伊朗西部）消费者对参与社区支持的水产养殖项目的态度。本研究是一项调查研究，属于非实验性、应用型和描述性相关研究。通过文献综述和实地研究，提取了影响消费者态度的因素。然后，为了确定效度，将问卷发给了一组主题专家。此外，为了评估研究工具的信度，计算了克朗巴哈系数。结果表明该研究工具具有良好的效度和信度。此外，还使用了结构方程模型来验证所提出的模型。结果表明，在影响消费者态度的因素中水产品价格位居首位，而这一点在以往研究中被忽视了。在这方面，建议通过设立支持基金和设施以促进消费者参与社区支持的水产养殖项目、制定健康水产品标准以及在广播和电视上制作与介绍社区支持的水产养殖项目相关的节目来改善消费者的态度。
