Abstract
Accurate land measurement and documentation of land ownership and use are critical for effective land administration and management. However, traditional land measurement systems are often inefficient, inaccurate, and lack transparency, which can lead to disputes, fraud, and corruption. To address these issues, we propose a smart contract-based land measurement system that provides a secure, transparent, and efficient way to measure and document land ownership. Our system utilizes smart contracts, which are self-executing code stored on a blockchain, to automate and streamline the land measurement process. Smart contracts automate the process of measuring and recording land data, ensuring that the measurements are accurate and tamper-proof. Furthermore, our system allows multiple parties, including landowners, surveyors, and government agencies, to access and verify the data in real-time, improving transparency and reducing the potential for disputes. Decentralized consensus mechanisms ensure that all network participants agree on the validity of transactions, eliminating the need for a central authority to verify ownership records. Smart contracts automate the execution of land transfer agreements, triggering ownership transfers when predefined conditions are met. The use of blockchain technology ensures the security and integrity of ownership records, reducing the risk of fraud and manipulation. Automation through smart contracts streamlines administrative processes, reducing the time and resources required to record and verify ownership transfers. Furthermore, its decentralized nature of it reduces the risk of corruption and centralization, enhancing trust and accountability in the land administration process.
