RoomieSlo: Android aplikacija za povezovanje sostanovalcev na podlagi združljivosti življenjskega sloga

Raičković, Branko (author), Hovelja, Tomaž (mentor)

V študijskem letu 2024/25 je bilo v Slovenijo vpisanih skoraj 12.000 tujih študentov, ki so pri iskanju nastanitve strukturno izključeni iz sistema študentskih domov, cene najema stanovanj pa hitro naraščajo. Edina obstoječa lokalna platforma za iskanje sostanovalcev je na voljo le v slovenščini, nima mobilne aplikacije in ne ponuja algoritma za ujemanje uporabnikov. V diplomskem delu zasnujemo in implementiramo Android aplikacijo RoomieSlo, ki tujim študentom omogoča iskanje sostanovalca ali ponujanje proste sobe na podlagi združljivosti življenjskega sloga, izračunane z uteženo mero podobnosti odgovorov na vprašalnik o življenjskem slogu, katere uteži izhajajo iz prve od dveh anket med ciljno skupino. Aplikacija temelji na tehnologijah Android, Supabase, PostgREST, Room in WorkManager, pri implementaciji pa posebno pozornost namenimo sočasnemu dostopu do podatkov pri ujemanjih, sinhronizaciji v ozadju in zanesljivosti komunikacije v realnem času.

• Title: RoomieSlo: An Android Application for Matching Roommates Based on Lifestyle Compatibility

Abstract

In the 2024/25 academic year, almost 12,000 international students were enrolled in Slovenia, yet they are structurally excluded from the public student dormitory system, while rental prices keep rising rapidly. The only existing local roommate-finding platform is available in Slovenian only, has no mobile application, and offers no matching algorithm. In this thesis we design and implement RoomieSlo, an Android application that helps international students find a roommate or offer a vacant room based on lifestyle compatibility, computed as a weighted similarity of their answers to a lifestyle questionnaire, with weights derived from the first of two surveys among the target group. The application is built on Android, Supabase, PostgREST, Room, and WorkManager, with particular attention paid to concurrent data access during matching, background synchronization, and reliable real-time communication.
