Modernizing Land Management with AI, IoT Using Blockchain, and Smart Contracts to Promote Transparency, Efficiency, and Trust

Abstract

The use of blockchain technology in land management systems provides a new way of meeting the inefficiencies and challenges associated with conventional land administration. This research is based on a collection of research papers that shed light on several facets of blockchain and allied technologies, such as distributed ledgers, smart contracts, and predictive analytics. These technologies promise to advance land registration and property transactions through greater transparency, security, and efficiency. The papers discuss subjects including digitizing land records through methods, enabling real-time access to data, and novel applications utilizing platforms such as Hyperledger, Ethereum, and IPFS. Comparative studies show the vast potential of blockchain to settle land conflicts, decrease administrative turnaround time, and establish trust among parties. In addition, the articles study the convergence of blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT), providing evidence of innovation in land titling and property verification. They also study the use of machine learning in creating predictive systems in land management. These studies validate the use of blockchain in the modernization of land systems, opening doors to its further use in governance and property management in countries.
