Abstract

Based on questionnaire survey, climate data and agricultural disaster data, this paper concerned about how the rural residents in Huining County of Gansu Province and in Shanxian of Shandong Province perceived local climate change in the past 20 years and which factors influenced their perceptions. It is found that at the most cases, the majority of respondents could perceive the trend of local climate change correctly. It is argued that perception of respondents of local climate change is decided basically by the trend of climate changes and its effects on their production and daily life, but other factors, such as obvious climate change occurred recently and extreme weather conditions, play a decisive role in some cases as well.
