Abstract

Land registration systems are crucial for tracking legal ownership details, but often face problems such as fraud, data manipulation, a lack of transparency, and delay. The following paper proposes an innovative Blockchain-Based Land Registration System, which utilises blockchain technology for secure and incorruptible handling of land registration information. Smart contracts will be employed to handle property registration and transfer automatically, eliminating unnecessary manual procedures and accelerating the process. Data will be stored using cryptographic tools, which will prevent data manipulation and verify their authenticity. Stakeholders will have access to the data instantly, thus improving transparency.

Keywords

Blockchain, Land Registration System, Smart Contracts, Decentralised Ledger, Data Security, Transparency, Property Management, Fraud Prevention.

Conclusion

The introduction of the Blockchain-Based Land Registration System is a practical and reliable solution to managing land record management. The implementation of blockchain technology ensures that the data cannot be altered and guarantees data accuracy and security from any fraudulent actions. By implementing smart contracts in the system, property registration and transfer become automated processes, minimising the need for human intervention.
