Information System for Leisure Time-Management in Quarantine Conditions

Abstract

The research is devoted to the study of the problem of planning leisure time during quarantine periods (forced staying at home) using information technology tools. The need for adaptation and modification of the usual forms of leisure activity to the new format has been determined. The methods of providing recommendations were studied. Using the Analytical Hierarchy Method, the optimal type of system for the implementation of the proposed solution was chosen – a recommendation system. The algorithm of the recommendation system, which offers alternatives for spending time during periods of forced staying at home, is described. A weighted hybrid mechanism was used to provide recommendations. The recommendations feature of the developed prototype of the information system is the provision of offers that contain, in addition to passive types of leisure, also active ones that take into account the characteristics of each of its users.
