Abstract
The real estate industry is a complex sector that involves multiple stakeholders and transactions, making transparency and security crucial for its efficient operation. Blockchain technology, known for its decentralized and immutable nature, has gained increasing attention for its potential applications in revolutionizing various industries, including real estate. This thesis explores the use of blockchain technology to enhance transparency in property transactions within estate management. The research begins by introducing the concept of blockchain technology and its relevance to the real estate industry. It examines the background of the study, highlighting the challenges faced in property transactions, such as lack of transparency and security issues. The problem statement identifies the gaps in the current estate management practices and emphasizes the need for a more secure and transparent system. The objectives of the study include investigating the potential benefits of blockchain technology in estate management, addressing the limitations of traditional property transactions, and proposing a framework for implementing blockchain solutions. The scope of the study focuses on the application of blockchain in property transactions, particularly in ensuring transparency and security. A comprehensive literature review is conducted to explore existing research and developments in blockchain technology and its implementation in real estate. The review covers ten key areas, including blockchain fundamentals, smart contracts, property registries, tokenization of assets, and regulatory considerations. The research methodology section outlines the approach taken in this study, including data collection methods, data analysis techniques, and the research design. It also discusses the selection of participants, data validation procedures, and ethical considerations. The findings from the study are presented in Chapter Four, where the benefits of utilizing blockchain technology in property transactions are discussed in detail. The chapter also addresses the challenges and limitations of implementing blockchain solutions in estate management. Finally, Chapter Five provides a conclusion and summary of the thesis, highlighting the key findings, implications for practice, and recommendations for future research. The significance of the study in enhancing transparency and security in property transactions is emphasized, along with the potential impact of blockchain technology on the real estate industry. In conclusion, this thesis contributes to the growing body of research on blockchain technology and its applications in estate management. By exploring the potential benefits and challenges of utilizing blockchain for transparent property transactions, this study provides valuable insights for industry practitioners, policymakers, and researchers seeking to leverage technology for a more efficient and secure real estate sector.
