Abstract
Single-person households have appeared recently as one of new distinct family types in Korea and lived mainly small scales of studio apartments and flats. However, we expect that normal large scale of houses or apartments will be inhibited by the residents of them in Korea. Accordingly the demands for their home would become dynamic like those of the other family types because their housings will not be temporary choices. The research proposes a direction for the development of smart homes in Korea, especially, for single households with a focus on their home workspace. Based on the results of a case study, a home workspace was identified as the highest need of the single households. Thus, this research emphasizes the effective functioning of home workspace and suggests intelligent components for it by introducing enabling technologies and notions to the development of the smart homes.
