Abstract: With societal development, the population of single women living alone has continued to grow, drawing increasing attention to their residential safety. This study investigates the design of intelligent living spaces and safety-oriented home products tailored for single women. Using questionnaires and in-depth interviews, the study collected 215 valid responses and analyzed key characteristics of the participants, including age, occupation, and length of independent living. Grounded in Maslow's hierarchy of needs, the research examines how smart home products influence their sense of security across physical, psychological, and social dimensions. The study further evaluates existing product design strategies and identifies current shortcomings, while exploring single women's perceptions, trust levels, usage challenges, and expectations regarding smart safety products. Finally, it proposes design strategies for intelligent living spaces-covering needs assessment, the application of smart technologies, interaction design, and privacy protection-to create safer and more comfortable home environments for single women and to provide theoretical and practical guidance for related industries.
