URBANIHAN: A 2D Animated Informative Video and Website Introducing Youth Into Urban Gardening2024 IEEE 16th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment, and Management (HNICEM), (2025), pp. 1-6
URBANIHAN is a capstone project made by Digital Dino wherein the project is a 2D animated informative video and website that is made to inform the youth into the practice of urban gardening benefits and projects and programs made from the said practice. The project consists of five episodes with each story highlighting the benefits of urban gardening as well as showcasing the projects and programs implemented by the client, Agricultural Training Institute (ATI). The study aims to inform and increase the youth enthusiasm on urban gardening. The objective of the study is to inform the youth regarding the practice of urban gardening and how it benefits the people mentally, financially, economically, and socially, and education. Additionally, a website is designed using a web builder that serves as additional information about urban gardening using the supplementary materials and information provided by ATI and their urban gardening programs and projects for the community. The target audience of the study are the youth ages 15 to 30. The methodology used for the study is a combination of qualitative and quantitative approach to gather the necessary data through interviews for subject experts and surveys for the target audience of the study. As per the findings, a weighted mean of 4.51 has been acquired post-assessment, which is a significant improvement on the mean of 3.82 from the pre-assessment; indicating the effectiveness of the project corresponding to its objective. In conclusion, the videos produced provide sufficient information about urban gardening and its benefits, as well as the client. The website is also able to provide additional information about urban gardening through the supplementary materials and the previous projects mentioned in the animated videos.
