Abstract: It is important to clarify the influence path of farmers' climate change perception and adaptation behavior decision-making for the further effective implementation of rural revitalization strategy. Based on structural equation model, SPSS and Amos software were used to import survey data, and then the influence path of climate change perception and adaptation behavior of apple farmers in the study area was discussed. The results showed that: (1) The individual characteristics of farmers had a significant positive effect on their objective adaptation ability, but had a negative effect on their climate change perception ability and household economic characteristics. (2) The family characteristics of farmers had a negative and significant effect on objective adaptation. (3) Farmers' climate perception had a significant positive effect on their objective adaptation ability. The indicators of each potential variable can reflect itself well and have significant representativeness. Finally, according to the test results of structural equation model, some effective suggestions are put forward for individual, family and perception.
