The study used both primary and secondary data source. Stratified quota sampling was used by the study to collect primary data. Average annual urban agricultural net revenue per capita was taken as a common measure of all urban agricultural outcomes for target predictor’s. Other predictor variables that assumed to be the determinant of urban agriculture contribution also included in the model. Binary logistic regression technique is used to estimate the logit coefficient. The studies found that the greater correlation of livelihood security’s with average annual urban agricultural net revenue per capita than average annual non- urban agricultural net revenue per capita. The correlation between food, economic, education, health and empowerment security with average annual urban agricultural net revenue per capita were about 0.29, 0.6, 0.19, 0.21 and 0.22 respectively. This target explanatory variable was positive significant effect for food security dependent variable at 5% significance level and at its mean value the probability of more food security agreement were about 0.77, while other predictors also held at their mean value. Finally, this studies paper suggests that urban agriculture helps for household livelihood outcome of food, education, health, empowerment and economic security and should be considered in urban planning.

노인복지시설 종사자의 정보보안 인지가 역량강화와 정보보안 행동에 미치는 실증 연구

노인 고령화에 따른 노인복지시설 증가와 함께 노인에 대한 정보보안 사례관리가 중요시 되었다. 노인복지시 설 종사자들은 노인 보호를 위해 노인의 개인정보, 사회복지서비스 정도 등 중요한 정보를 관리함에도 직무수행체계 나 정보보안에 관한 연구는 미흡하다. 노인복지시설 종사자들의 정보보안 인지가 정보보안행동에 어떠한 영향을 미 치는가에 대하여 정보보안 역량강화를 매개로 한 연구를 실시하였다. 연구는 종사자들의 성별에 따른 잠재평균분석 을 통한 실증분석을 진행 하였다. 연구결과 정보보안 인지(개인경험, 정보 기술이해, 정보보안 인식, 정보보안 정책), 정보보안역량강화, 정보보안 행동의 구조 관계에서 성별에 따라 각기 다른 수준으로 집단 간 차이 있었다. 또한 정보 보안 행동에 있어서 성별 차이가 있었으며, 정보보안 역량강화가 정보보안 행동에 중요한 영향을 미치고 있었다.
