Research hypotheses were assigned and then a questionnaire designed to collect data and hypothesis tests. In descriptive statistics, it was used frequency distribution tables, average, standard deviation, percentage. In deductive and hypothesis analysis part, it was used one-sample T-test, one-factor variance analysis, turkey test, Friedman test and also it was used SPSS statistical software. Results showed that there is significant relationship between farmers’ individual features and tendency to water resources governance management. Also, there is significant relationship between economic-social and educational-training factors and local society participation in water resources governance management. In farmers’ views, government support has significant influence on water resources governance management improvement. Also there are significant relationships between farmers’ knowledge and awareness level about water resources governance management programs with water resources governance management improvement. Also there are significant relationships between farmers’ knowledge and awareness level about water resources governance management programs with water resources governance management improvement.
