Abstract

The rapid growth of e-business has led to increasing concerns about consumer trust due to issues such as data breaches, fraudulent activities, and lack of transparency. Blockchain technology, with its inherent characteristics of decentralization, immutability, and transparency, has emerged as a potential solution to address these challenges. This research aims to analyze the application of blockchain in e-business to enhance consumer trust, providing insights into its effectiveness and adoption barriers. The study employs a qualitative approach, combining a systematic literature review and expert interviews to gather comprehensive data. The research evaluates blockchain’s impact on key trust factors, such as data security, transaction transparency, and accountability within the e-business ecosystem. The findings reveal that blockchain significantly enhances consumer trust by ensuring data integrity, enabling secure and transparent transactions, and reducing intermediary dependency. However, challenges such as high implementation costs, technical complexity, and regulatory uncertainty hinder widespread adoption. The study concludes that blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize trust mechanisms in e-business. To maximize its benefits, businesses must address implementation barriers and foster collaborations with regulatory authorities. Future research should explore blockchain’s integration with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things to create a more robust e-business ecosystem.

Abstract

Urban agriculture is gaining traction as a viable solution to food security challenges and environmental sustainability in densely populated cities. With its limited arable land and high urbanization rate, Japan is at the forefront of adopting innovative agricultural practices. Verticulture technology, which involves vertical farming techniques, offers a promising approach to maximizing food production in urban settings while minimizing land use. This study aims to explore the impact of viticulture technology on urban agriculture in Japan. The research evaluates how vertical farming can enhance food production efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and contribute to sustainable urban development. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative and qualitative research methods. Data were collected through field experiments in urban vertical farms, surveys of urban farmers, and analysis of production records. Key performance indicators such as crop yield, resource use efficiency, and environmental impact were measured. Additionally, interviews with urban agriculture experts provided insights into viticulture technology's practical implementation and benefits. The findings indicate that viticulture technology significantly improves crop yields and resource use efficiency compared to traditional urban farming methods. Vertical farms demonstrated up to a 30% increase in yield per square meter and a 50% reduction in water usage. The environmental impact was also reduced, with lower greenhouse gas emissions and minimal land use. Survey responses and expert interviews highlighted the technology's potential to support food security and sustainable urban living. Verticulture technology offers a transformative approach to urban agriculture in Japan, enhancing food production efficiency and sustainability. The significant improvements in crop yields, resource use, and environmental impact underscore the potential of vertical farming to address urban food security challenges. Further research and investment in viticulture technology are recommended to optimize its implementation and maximize its benefits for urban development.
