The Analysis on the Preference of Urban Agriculture Types in Accordance with Lifestyle

Urban Farm DB summary

A survey of residents in nine autonomous districts of Seoul, South Korea, that had grounds to support urban agriculture activation examined the causal relationship between lifestyle type and preferred urban agriculture activities. The "health-seeking" lifestyle type was significantly associated with downtown-type urban agriculture, such as participating in education programs, planting ornamental crops, and attending urban agriculture expos. The "leisure-activity" type was significantly associated with housing-utilization urban agriculture, such as indoor and apartment-veranda gardening. The "health-seeking" type was also significantly associated with school-education-type and farm/park-type urban agriculture, while the "family-oriented" type was significantly associated with school-education-type urban agriculture. The study positions these findings as baseline data for future urban agriculture activation policy.
