Small-scale farmers living in mountainous areas are particularly vulnerable to climate change. Although governments have implemented various support programs and policies to support a range of farmers to tackle climatic changes, there are still several difficulties in the implementation of these adaptation strategies. Using the survey data of 758 small-scale farmers this paper employs Multivariate Probit (MVP) and Poisson regression models to measure the effects of intrinsic and extrinsic factors affecting farmers adaptation decision in rural Vietnam. The results reveal that the extrinsic factors such as annual rainfall variations and farm size motivate farmers' adoption of their adaptations. The findings also reveal that the political connection has a significantly positive impact on the respondents' selection, while government interference such as extension training programs has a negative association with the farmers adaptation choice. Public extension programs should be simultaneously redesigned to support farmers in mitigating the impacts of climate change.
生活在山区的小规模农户特别容易受到气候变化的影响。尽管政府已实施各种支持计划和政策，以支持各类农户应对气候变化，但这些适应战略的实施仍存在若干困难。本文利用对758户小规模农户的调查数据，采用多元概率单位（MVP）和泊松回归模型，来衡量影响越南农村地区农户适应决策的内在和外在因素的影响。结果表明，诸如年降雨量变化和农场规模等外在因素促使农户采取适应措施。研究结果还表明，政治关联对受访者的选择有显著的积极影响，而诸如推广培训项目等政府干预与农户的适应选择呈负相关。应同时重新设计公共推广项目，以支持农户减轻气候变化的影响。
