    Abstract

    To keep a pace with the trend of IoT (Internet of Things) era, the society has recently given impetus to installing in a building and an apartment wireless remote control system for such public home service as gas, electricity, and water supply based on unique smart home network to pursue facility convenience and safety. Upon the demand of consumers, construction companies and architects want to provide consumers with various services in wire/wireless integrated mode from opening/closing of a gas valve to prevent an accident from gas leakage to controlling of a gas boiler, automatic fire extinguishing, remote opening/closing of a gas valve, gas alert, gas pressure, gas leakage, ventilation, and so on.
    the present research conducted an empirical study with general consumers who fully understand IoT-based gas safety shutoff service to know how they perceive such service and the impact that such perception has on their intention to adopt the service. In addition, this study takes a different approach from existing studies in proposing the importance of consumers' perceived value and intention to adopt in the process of activating IoT-based gas safety shutoff service, and tries to bring forth basic data for the activation of the relevant areas not only academically, but also in practice.
