Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital tourism services has revolutionized how travelers search and select destinations, yet privacy and trust issues remain major challenges in centralized recommendation systems. User data such as preferences, location history, and feedback are often stored on centralized servers, making them vulnerable to data breaches and manipulation. This research proposes a Blockchain-Driven Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) Approach to develop a privacy-preserving and trustworthy tourist recommendation system. The proposed framework integrates blockchain technology to ensure secure, transparent, and immutable data management, while MCDM techniques such as the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and TOPSIS are employed to evaluate and rank tourist destinations based on multiple criteria, including popularity, cost, safety, accessibility, and sustainability. The blockchain layer enforces decentralized data verification through smart contracts and cryptographic consensus, ensuring that user privacy is protected without sacrificing system transparency. The experimental results indicate improved recommendation accuracy, reduced privacy risks, and enhanced user trust compared to conventional systems. The proposed model achieved 12.5% higher recommendation accuracy and 30% lower privacy risk compared to centralized models. This study demonstrates that combining blockchain and MCDM can effectively support transparent and fair decision-making in digital tourism, offering a scalable and secure foundation for next-generation recommendation systems.

Abstract

Rapid developments in information technology have increased dependence on network services, but have also triggered an increase in cyber threats such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS). These attacks can paralyze systems by flooding servers with simultaneous fake traffic. Conventional rule-based detection methods are now less effective in dealing with dynamic attack patterns, requiring an adaptive approach based on machine learning. This research develops a Support Vector Machine (SVM) model enhanced with Blockchain technology to improve accuracy and data security in detecting DDoS attacks. The dataset used is CICDDoS2023 from the Canadian Institute for Cybersecurity, which contains various variants of modern DDoS attacks. The research stages include data pre-processing, training the SVM model using the RBF kernel, and integrating Blockchain with training data hash recording through a smart contract using Remix Ethereum to ensure data integrity. Performance evaluation was carried out using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score metrics based on the confusion matrix results. The integration of SVM and Blockchain showed an increase in security and detection accuracy compared to conventional SVM models. This approach not only improves the reliability of the DDoS attack detection system, but also creates a transparent and tamper-proof data validation mechanism. The research results are expected to contribute to the development of adaptive, decentralized network security systems with a high level of confidence in attack detection results.

Abstract

Flooding is one of the most frequent natural disasters and has substantial impacts on social, economic, and environmental conditions. Therefore, early detection plays a critical role in minimizing potential damage and supporting effective disaster response. This study proposes a Flood Detection System Using an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) with Blockchain-Based Data Integrity, which integrates predictive analytics and secure data management in a unified framework. The ANN model processes multisource environmental data such as satellite imagery, rainfall intensity, water level fluctuations, and soil moisture obtained from Google Earth Engine (GEE). Training is conducted using a sigmoid activation function and backpropagation algorithm to identify spatial and temporal patterns associated with flood-prone areas. The resulting classification outputs are stored in a blockchain ledger to ensure immutability, transparency, and protection against unauthorized data modification. Experimental evaluations demonstrate that the proposed hybrid approach achieves an accuracy of 95.82%, supported by precision, recall, and F1-score values that indicate consistent model performance across varying environmental conditions. The integration of blockchain provides verifiable and tamper-proof documentation of ANN predictions and related metadata. Overall, this research contributes a reliable, secure, and technically robust method for early flood detection, offering valuable support for data-driven decision-making in disaster mitigation and environmental risk management.
