Therefore, the Executive Yuan of Taiwan in 2008 initiated the "Smart Taiwan" and "Quality Life" focus issues, to promote the use of new technologies, including the broadband infrastructure, remote health care, smart living spaces, smart living technology and applications, in response to the challenges of the future needs and to improve people''s satisfaction in their lives.
This study aims to analyze what the users want in a smart kitchen, so that a design centered on the Smart Kitchen can be realized in a quality smart living space. This enables designers to address the characteristics and requirements of clients and design adequate user interface and functionality, and let the users get closer to have better and more convenient products. Therefore, this study employed purposive sampling method to conduct the survey. We samapled "primary users of home kitchens" in homes equipped with internet in five metropolitan regions and two sub-metropolitan regions, and send out 1445 paper questionnaires and 213 online questionnaires.

Besides, more stress should be place on the security and convenience to make their life easier and better.(3) In order to create a Ubiquitous kitchen environment which meets the need of the elderly and the disable people, designers can reinforce the development of Ubiquitous kitchen. Finally, empirical results based on number of points can be built up by the proposed recommendations and follow-up study.
