Urban Farm DB summary

This study investigated the effect of self-efficacy on college students' participation in urban agriculture in South Korea, using an online survey and statistical analysis targeting urban and architecture majors. The analysis revealed a significant difference in urban agriculture participation levels based on the degree of self-efficacy, showing that for every 1-point increase (on a 5-point scale) in self-efficacy, participation increased by approximately 2.06 times. The most influential variable was attitude towards urban agriculture, with the interaction between gender and experience also found to be highly influential.
