Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The real estate industry in developing countries is often plagued by issues such as lack of transparency, fraud, and inefficiencies in transactions. Blockchain technology has emerged as a potential solution to address these challenges by providing a secure and transparent platform for recording and verifying real estate transactions. This thesis explores the application of blockchain technology in real estate transactions in developing countries, with a focus on enhancing transparency and trust in the process. The research begins with an introduction to the topic, providing background information on the real estate industry in developing countries and the challenges it faces. The problem statement identifies the lack of transparency and trust as key issues affecting real estate transactions in these regions. The objective of the study is to investigate how blockchain technology can be leveraged to improve transparency and trust in real estate transactions, while also considering the limitations and scope of the research. A comprehensive literature review is conducted to examine existing studies on blockchain technology in real estate, highlighting its benefits and potential applications. The review identifies ten key areas where blockchain technology can be utilized to enhance transparency and trust in real estate transactions, including property ownership verification, smart contracts, and digital identities. The research methodology section outlines the approach taken to investigate the research questions, including data collection methods, sample selection, and data analysis techniques. The methodology also describes how qualitative and quantitative data will be collected and analyzed to evaluate the impact of blockchain technology on real estate transactions in developing countries. The findings of the study are presented in the discussion section, which explores the implications of using blockchain technology to improve transparency and trust in real estate transactions. The results highlight the benefits of blockchain technology, such as increased security, reduced fraud, and improved efficiency in the transaction process. The discussion also addresses potential challenges and limitations of implementing blockchain technology in developing countries. In conclusion, the thesis summarizes the key findings and implications of the research, emphasizing the importance of utilizing blockchain technology to enhance transparency and trust in real estate transactions in developing countries.
