Rural communities are dependent on their native environment for supporting their customs, traditions, and other rural activities. This study attempts to understand the effects of the changing climate on rural individuals by investigating their feelings and experiences of perceived changes in the home environment and village life. Thirty‐four in‐depth interviews were conducted during the months of May–June 2019 in two districts—Gaya and Jehanabad of South Bihar, India. The findings reveal that the rural population have experienced changes in climate such as a rise in the incidence of heatwaves, erratic rainfall patterns, delay in monsoon onset, early drying of water resources, and loss of particular tree and bird species. Worries and uncertainties of the rural population have emerged from the experiences of involuntary separation from traditional farm activities, forced adaptation strategies, loss of cultural and religious practices, and reduced self‐worth in coping with the deteriorating environment. The changing climate instigates feelings of emotional distress, resulting in adverse mental health and psychological well‐being outcomes. It is concluded that the changing climate is responsible for the loss of traditional village customs and nature‐related cultural practices, subsequently inducing solastalgia among the rural population.

感觉痛感：印度农村气候变化的影响研究

农村社区依赖其本地环境来支持其习俗，传统和其他农村活动。这项研究试图通过调查他们对家庭环境和乡村生活的感知变化的感受和经验，来了解气候变化对农村个体的影响。在2019年5月至6月的几个月中，对印度南比哈尔邦的加耶（Gaya）和耶哈纳巴德（Jehanabad）两个地区进行了34次深度访谈。研究结果表明，农村人口的气候发生了变化，例如热浪的发生率上升，降雨模式不规律，季风发作延迟，水资源过早干燥以及某些树木和鸟类物种的流失。农村人口的忧虑和不确定性源于与传统农场活动的非自愿分离，被迫采取的适应策略，文化和宗教习俗的丧失以及在应对日益恶化的环境中的自我价值降低的经验。气候的变化加剧了人们的情绪困扰，导致不良的心理健康和心理健康状况。结论是，气候变化是造成传统乡村风俗和与自然有关的文化习俗丧失的原因，随后在农村人口中引起了鼻痛。导致不良的心理健康和心理健康结果。结论是，气候变化是造成传统乡村风俗和与自然有关的文化习俗丧失的原因，随后在农村人口中引起了鼻痛。导致不良的心理健康和心理健康结果。结论是，气候变化是造成传统乡村风俗和与自然有关的文化习俗丧失的原因，随后在农村人口中引起了鼻痛。
