Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The real estate sector is a vital component of the global economy, with transactions and record-keeping processes being integral to its operations. Traditional methods of managing real estate transactions and records have been prone to inefficiencies, errors, and security vulnerabilities. Blockchain technology has emerged as a promising solution to address these challenges by providing a decentralized, secure, and transparent platform for conducting transactions and managing records. This thesis explores the application of blockchain technology in the real estate industry to enhance the security and efficiency of transactions and records management. The research begins with an introduction that sets the context for the study, followed by a background section that discusses the evolution of blockchain technology and its relevance to the real estate sector. The problem statement highlights the existing challenges in traditional real estate transactions and records management, emphasizing the need for innovative solutions. The objectives of the study are outlined to guide the research process, while the limitations and scope of the study provide a clear delineation of the research focus. A comprehensive literature review in Chapter Two examines existing studies and frameworks related to blockchain technology in real estate. The review covers ten key areas, including the benefits of blockchain in real estate, challenges to implementation, regulatory considerations, and case studies of successful applications. This synthesis of literature serves as the foundation for the research methodology in Chapter Three. Chapter Three details the research methodology employed in this study, including the research design, data collection methods, sampling strategy, and data analysis techniques. The chapter also discusses ethical considerations and limitations of the research process, ensuring the validity and reliability of the findings. Chapter Four presents a detailed analysis of the research findings, focusing on the impact of blockchain technology on real estate transactions and records management. The discussion encompasses key themes such as security, transparency, efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and regulatory compliance. Real-world examples and case studies are used to illustrate the practical application of blockchain in real estate. Finally, Chapter Five concludes the thesis by summarizing the key findings, implications, and contributions of the study. The conclusion highlights the significance of blockchain technology in transforming real estate transactions and records management, while also identifying areas for further research and development. Overall, this thesis contributes to the growing body of knowledge on blockchain applications in the real estate industry, paving the way for a more secure and efficient future in real estate transactions and records management.
