        abstract = {This project proposes an IoT-based apartment safety management system designed to provide Realtime detection and response to gas leakage and fire hazards in residential buildings. The system employs embedded sensor nodes consisting of gas, smoke, and temperature sensors interfaced with a microcontroller to continuously monitor environmental conditions in individual apartment units. Sensor data is transmitted wirelessly to a centralized monitoring system using the MQTT communication protocol. Based on predefined safety thresholds, the system identifies hazard conditions and initiates immediate responses such as local alarm activation and alert notifications to residents and administrators. A centralized web dashboard enables real-time visualization of apartment safety status and maintains incident records for monitoring and analysis. The proposed system improves response time, enhances safety, and ensures reliable operation through effective integration of embedded systems, wireless communication, and real-time monitoring.},
