In order to provide reference for formulating the effective policies of climate change,we selected Ganan Plateau located in the eastern margin of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau as the study area, and used the farmers investigation data to analyze the impact of the farmersperception of climate change on their adaptation indention. The results showed that the farmers severity perception of climate change declined from the pure agriculture household to the household with combined occupation, and to the non-agriculture household,but the farmers adaptation efficacy perception was vice versa. Moreover,all of the perceived probability,self-efficacy and adaptation cost of the household with combined occupation were highest,those of the non-agriculture household were the second place and those of the pure agriculture household were the lowest. The farmers positive adaptation indention of climate change increased from the pure agriculture household to the household with combined occupation,and to the non-agriculture household. Increasing the perceived risk and adaptation efficacy would promote the farmers positive adaptation intention,but increasing the perceived adaptation cost would promote the farmerspassive adaptation intention. Meanwhile,the more the farmers agricultural acreage,livestock,income and optimistic degree were,the stronger the farmers positive adaptation intention was; But the more the farmersfixed capital,unpaid cash assistance opportunities,relative number and the number of people offering help were,the weaker the farmerspositive adaptation intention was. Finally,we pointed out the measures of promoting the positive adaptation intention and the problems on which we should focus in the future research.
