Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis explores the application of blockchain technology in real estate transactions and property management to enhance efficiency and transparency within the industry. The real estate sector is known for its complex and time-consuming processes, involving multiple parties and intermediaries, leading to inefficiencies and potential risks of fraud. By leveraging blockchain technology, which provides a decentralized and immutable ledger system, this research aims to streamline processes, reduce costs, and improve trust and security in real estate transactions and property management. The study begins with an introduction to the background of the research, highlighting the challenges faced in the real estate industry and the potential benefits of blockchain technology. The problem statement emphasizes the need for a more efficient and secure system for real estate transactions, prompting the objective of the study to investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of blockchain technology in addressing these challenges. The limitations and scope of the study are also discussed, providing a clear outline of the research focus. A comprehensive literature review in Chapter Two examines existing studies and projects related to blockchain technology in real estate and property management. The review covers topics such as smart contracts, tokenization of assets, decentralized finance (DeFi), and case studies of successful blockchain implementations in the real estate sector. The analysis of these literature sources informs the research methodology in Chapter Three, where the approach to data collection, analysis, and evaluation is detailed. Chapter Three outlines the research methodology, including the research design, data collection methods, data analysis techniques, and the criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of blockchain technology in real estate transactions and property management. The methodology incorporates both qualitative and quantitative research approaches, utilizing surveys, interviews, and case studies to gather relevant data and insights. Chapter Four presents the findings of the study, showcasing the benefits and challenges of implementing blockchain technology in real estate transactions and property management. The discussion delves into factors such as cost savings, efficiency gains, security enhancements, and potential regulatory hurdles that need to be addressed for successful adoption of blockchain in the real estate industry. Finally, Chapter Five offers a conclusion and summary of the project thesis, highlighting the key findings, implications, and recommendations for future research and industry applications. The study underscores the transformative potential of blockchain technology in revolutionizing real estate transactions and property management, paving the way for a more efficient, transparent, and secure ecosystem within the industry. Overall, this thesis contributes to the growing body of research on blockchain technology in real estate and property management, offering valuable insights and guidance for industry stakeholders, policymakers, and researchers seeking to leverage innovative technologies for enhanced efficiency and trust in real estate transactions.
