ABSTRACT

THIS STUDY SYSTEMATICALLY ANALYZES THE NEEDS AND PREFERENCES OF PET ADOPTERS IN MACAO THROUGH QUESTIONNAIRES, IN-DEPTH INTERVIEWS AND DATA ANALYSIS, IN VIEW OF THE PROBLEMS SUCH AS INFORMATION ASYMMETRY, COMPLEX ADOPTION PROCESS AND LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT PET HEALTH CARE. BASED ON THIS, A PET ADOPTION APP HAS BEEN DESIGNED, INTEGRATING PET INFORMATION DISPLAY, INTELLIGENT MATCHING RECOMMENDATIONS, SIMPLIFIED ADOPTION PROCEDURES, PET HEALTH MANAGEMENT, COMMUNITY INTERACTION AND SHARING, AS WELL AS EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE INTEGRATION. THE APP NOT ONLY PROVIDES RICH PET ADOPTION INFORMATION AND CONVENIENT ADOPTION PROCESSES BUT ALSO USES SMART ALGORITHMS TO RECOMMEND THE MOST SUITABLE PETS FOR USERS, ENHANCING THE ACCURACY OF ADOPTION MATCHES. AT THE SAME TIME, THE BUILT-IN PET HEALTH MANAGEMENT MODULE AND COMMUNITY INTERACTION FEATURES EFFECTIVELY ENHANCE USERS' AWARENESS AND PARTICIPATION IN PET HEALTH CARE. EXPERIMENTAL VALIDATION SHOWS THAT THIS APPLICATION SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVES PET ADOPTION EFFICIENCY, ENHANCES USER SATISFACTION, AND PROMOTES PET WELFARE. THIS STUDY NOT ONLY PROVIDES AN INNOVATIVE TECHNICAL SOLUTION FOR PET ADOPTION IN MACAO BUT ALSO OFFERS VALUABLE REFERENCES FOR THE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF PET ADOPTION APPLICATIONS IN OTHER REGIONS.
