The effective and sustainable use of water for agriculture has become a global priority requiring urgent and immediate solutions in view of intensifying competition between different sectors. One of the main obstacle in agriculture progress and rural development in Iran is the issue of water shortage. The optimal use of water in increasing of agricultural products is an essential task in arid and semi-arid regions like Iran. The new pressurized irrigation approaches prevent from irregular waste of water and to some extend resolves the issue of water shortage. The use of modern, advanced and resource efficient irrigation technologies is vital to increase farm output and income. The efficiency of irrigation, in the sprinkler irrigation is 80 percent. But the development of these systems have the technical, economic and social problem. The main aim of the present study is to investigate the farmer’s viewpoint about barriers and promoting factors of using sprinkler irrigation system (case study: Behbahan county in Iran). The statistical population was the farmers who use the sprinkler irrigation systems in Behbahan county in Iran (N= 150). After conducting a pilot study for each structure separately, the reliability of questionnaire was calculated by Cronbakh Alpha Coefficient which was more than 0.7 In this study for analyzing the data the correlation coefficients such as: Spearman and Pearson correlation coefficient, factor analysis and Regression analysis were used. The results showed that from an agriculture viewpoint, the most important variables influencing the farmers’ decision to abandonment of sprinkler irrigation systems were as: lack of monitoring for projects, lack of capital for establishing the irrigation system, poor government policy, dissatisfaction with projects, lack of insurance and the high price segments of sprinkler irrigation systems.There was also a positive significant correlation between variables such as: increased production, area under cultivation, Source of water supply and credit institutions with the extension amount of sprinkler irrigation systems. Also there was negative significant correlation between variables such as: Tendency to the risk of farmers and low quality parts with the extension amount of sprinkler irrigation systems. Lack of belief in a favorable impact of new irrigation methods, even after the adoption of this innovation has resulted in the instability of this innovation. In farmer’s viewpoint, the most important variables influencing the farmers’ decision to develop the irrigation systems were as: meet the farmer having the new irrigation systems, reduce the water costs, increase of production and etc. The results of factor analysis showed that the affecting factors on development of sprinkler irrigation system included: extension- support(%17),environmental(%16), economic(%14) and user skills factors(%13). Also of factor analysis showed that the affecting factors on abandonment of sprinkler irrigation system included: costs economic resulting from inappropriate land and Systems(%17), lack skill and believe to sprinkler irrigation system(%11), Climatic factors and grievances arising from the implementation of the system(%10), lack of appropriate legislation(%8) and landrestrictions(%6). The results of the regression analysis shows that there was significant positive relationship between the variables area under cultivation, Source of water supply and credit institutions with the extension amount of sprinkler irrigation systems. Also there was significant negative relationship between variables such as: The low quality of spare parts and Tendency to the risk of farmers with the extension amount of sprinkler irrigation systems.
