<![CDATA[The rapid advancement of digital technologies has led to a significant increase in data volume and complexity, while traditional database systems continue to face challenges in ensuring data security, integrity, transparency, and interoperability across platforms, resulting in higher risks of data tampering, limited audit trails, and the formation of data silos. This study aims to examine and develop a blockchain integration model with conventional database systems to strengthen secure data provenance and enhance interoperability among heterogeneous databases. This research proposes a hybrid architecture that combines on data recording using a permissioned blockchain with off data storage through Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) or Not Only SQL (NoSQL) databases, where blockchain functions as a trust layer that records data hashes, metadata, and immutable change histories, while system evaluation is conducted through security testing, data integrity assessment, auditability analysis, latency measurement, throughput evaluation, data consistency analysis, and cross-platform interoperability testing. The experimental results demonstrate that blockchain integration significantly improves data security and traceability by providing transparent and tamper-resistant audit trails, while enabling secure and consistent data exchange across systems through integration modules and API gateways, despite introducing additional performance overhead compared to conventional database systems. This study concludes that integrating blockchain with conventional database systems is an effective approach for ensuring secure data provenance and interoperable database management, offering a balanced trade-off between security, transparency, and system efficiency, and presenting strong potential for further development in large-scale distributed data environments.]]>
