Factors Influencing the Decision to Choose Rental Rooms, Apartment, Technology Digital Solution, Smart cityAbstract
The selection of residential accommodations is influenced by various factors, such as rental price, location, safety, and available amenities. This study aims to examine the factors influencing the decision to choose residential accommodations, specifically rented rooms, dormitories, and apartments, and is divided into four main objectives: (1) to study the factors affecting the decision-making process for choosing accommodations, (2) to analyze consumer behavior and preferences, (3) to evaluate the importance of different factors in choosing accommodations, and (4) to assess the suitability of implementing digital technology for the development of an intelligent access control system. The findings indicate that, for Objective 1, the most significant factors influencing the decision to choose residential accommodations are: 1. Safety (x̄ = 4.65), 2. Convenient location for commuting (x̄ = 4.59), and 3. Good management (x̄ = 4.45). For Objective 2, analyzing consumer behavior and preferences, it was found that the most important factors are: 1. Safety (x̄ = 4.60), 2. Convenient location for commuting (x̄ = 4.57), and 3. Good management (x̄ = 4.50). Regarding Objective 3, the study revealed that safety remains the most important factor (x̄ = 4.59), followed by rental price (x̄ = 4.44) and location (x̄ = 4.41). For Objective 4, assessing the compatibility of digital technologies for developing an intelligent access control system, experts agreed at the highest level for each module contributing to the efficiency of the system, as follows: Data Module with the ability to handle increased data as the system scales (x̄ = 4.73), Face Recognition Module with real-time facial recognition accuracy (x̄ = 4.73), Visitor Management System (VMS) Module capable of controlling visitor access accurately by area and time (x̄ = 4.73), AI Chatbot Module providing real-time response (x̄ = 4.53), AI Output Module capable of rapid and accurate event notifications (x̄ = 4.73), and Evaluation and Improvement Module capable of recording and analyzing evaluation results (x̄ = 4.67). Experts emphasized the importance of every module in the intelligent access control system for SME residential complexes. These findings highlight the significance of developing solutions using digital technology, particularly in safety, to meet the needs of residents and support the development of smart cities that emphasize safety and sustainable convenience.
