Abstract
Security is a multidimensional concept that, while initially easy to grasp and universally understood at a basic level, becomes challenging to quantify and model due to its inherent complexity and multidimensionality. In this paper, the concept of "needs" is employed to understand and apply security in quantitative models, essentially treating security as two sides of the same coin. In other words, the absence of security in a domain has always been equivalent to endangering the needs of individuals or society in that domain. This research explores the concept of the needs-security correspondence and categorizes various dimensions of security based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs. To achieve this, the concepts of security and needs are examined based on Maslow's hierarchy, and different dimensions of security in each domain are identified. Then, using a regression model, the impact of various variables on security is examined for less developed countries. The results indicate that due to the level of development in these countries, basic needs and welfare enhance security, but future growth opportunities may have a negative impact on security.
