Abstract
Literature alludes to Society 5.0 as the next generation of human society characterised technologically as a system of systems in which numerous systems create an extensive networked system. This chapter explores Society 5.0 beyond the futuristic but also experiential. It focuses on how a land governance system can support its functionality. The study is conceptually designed. It theoretically explores how land governance can contribute to Society 5.0 in the Industrial 5.0 age. It used a historical review of industry periods to examine the industrial transition from Industry 1.0 to 5.0 from a land governance perspective. It used artificial intelligence to produce visual depictions of Society 5.0. The key highlights of the study are that not achieving the global sustainable development goals could mean a non-human-centric Society 5.0. It produced a land governance requirement matrix that can enable the land sector functions align with Society 5.0 for sustainability, human-centricity and resilience.
