도시 농업 경험 향상을 위한 통합적 텃밭 관리 모바일 애플리케이션 서비스 제안: 노원구 공공도시 텃밭을 중심으로

Recently, urban agriculture including growing gardens continues to grow, with the advantage of being able to communicate with local neighbors and obtain healthy food. In particular, this growth is accelerating with changes in society following the non-face-to-face paradigm, triggered by the Corona Pandemic. However, there is a limitation in the current methods for revitalizing urban agriculture. Urban agricultural information is fragmented and its accessibility is low, and there is no integrated platform equipped with various functions required by garden users. Using the Research Through Design method, this study investigates the user’s actual needs for gardening, and proposes a mobile service that increases access to urban agricultural information and allows service users to efficiently manage crops. Focusing on the garden of Gyeongchun Line Forest Road in Nowon-gu, this study conducted a survey of stakeholders, including potential users related to gardens or weekend farms, to identify problems and opportunities, and specified ideas and functions to enable integrated graden management. Specifically, by proposing functions for crop management and farming equipment rental, it made it easier for users to manage gardens and obtain information related to urban agriculture. In addition, by providing community functions, communication and assistance between garden users in a specific region can lead to harmony and win-win effects of communities in the region. As sustainable and eco-friendly lifestyles are emerging due to climate change and environmental pollution, the importance of urban agriculture is increasing. The results of this study can be used as a basic resource for the design approach to urban agricultural development, and it is expected that urban agricultural culture will be more activated through this study.
