Abstract
The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the relationship be-tween livelihood capital and environmental behavior of rangeland users. This research is applied in terms of its purpose. The data collection tool was a researcher-made ques-tionnaire and the sampling method was simple random. The statistical sample included 190 rangeland owners living in rural areas of Saral Rural District, Divandarreh County, Kurdistan Province. The results of the correlation showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between all livelihood variables and environmental behavior of villagers, but the relationship between financial capital and environmental behavior is negative and inverse. The results related to multiple regression also showed that the human capital and social capital variables explained a total of 0.56% of the variance of the environmental behavior variable. The overall results of this study showed that any training for rural communities (learning new skills and professions, level of knowledge and skills about rangeland, etc.) can directly affect environmental behavior; Because environmental education and awareness are recognized as a key tool for changing atti-tudes, strengthening social responsibility, and promoting sustainable lifestyles, and this process, while creating knowledge, will lead to environmental behavior and strengthen the ability to analyze complex issues and make informed decisions in individuals.
