Geospatial Blockchain Applications for Land Administration in Pakistan

Abstract

In an era characterized by rapid technological progress, the persistent challenges of land administration are on the verge of a groundbreaking transformation through the adoption of blockchain technology. Originating with the advent of Bitcoin in 2008, blockchain has emerged as a beacon of hope, promising transparency, trust, immutability, and security in recording transactions. This innovative technology holds immense potential to revolutionize the landscape of land administration in Pakistan, a nation burdened by antiquated paper-based systems, corruption, land disputes, and inefficiencies. Embracing blockchain can offer Pakistan the prospect of an era marked by improved governance, diminished fraud, streamlined record-keeping, and equitable access to vital land information. Nonetheless, the path forward is strewn with challenges, necessitating the establishment of robust legal frameworks, capacity-building initiatives, and the resolution of privacy concerns.
