Abstract

Regarding the pressing social concerns of well-being and aging society, this paper explores the potentials of a smart indoor gardening system that links gardening activities and the IoT technology. The benefits of gardening have been emphasized to improve the quality of life. However, a number of reasons due to a lack of gardening culture and apartment housing systems limit personal gardening in Korea. Thus, indoor gardening has been paid attention as an alternative, but it is still a challenge. Previous studies and practices have shown that the IoT technology can be applied to numerous occasions, and can feasibly provide a solution to these gardening issues. This paper proposes a possible smart indoor gardening system to cope with the issues.
