“…Thus, the LRCP supports women to borrow money from financial institutions. This is confirmed by [21,79] providing evidence that the land registration program provides significant benefits of credit access as credit collateral for investment and economic growth. In general, after the LRCP, women's access to formal financial credit is increased.…”

Well-implemented and functioning land administration systems are able to improve the wellbeing of rural households and support the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. As cadastral data are an essential part of a modern land administration system for documenting and securing the boundaries of parcels, Ethiopia recently embarked on one of the largest land surveying programs for rural land registration in Africa. Cadastral and land registration data provided by the land administration office of the woreda were analyzed using a Geographical Information System to investigate whether parcels of female-headed households were disadvantaged compared to parcels of male-headed households with regard to parcel size, parcel features, and access to infrastructure. In addition, the situation of female-headed households after the land registration process was analyzed in more detail. To this aim, quantitative and qualitative data were collected in the Ethiopian Machakel woreda through a household survey, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and key informant interviews. The results document no significant gender discrepancies in parcel features and access to infrastructures. In general, women confirmed an improvement in the wellbeing of female-headed households after the land registration and certification process.

“…The main theoretical blockchain benefit for the real estate sector was increased trust, which many of the empirical applications (e.g., Georgian) aimed at (Allessie et al, 2019;Rodima-Taylor, 2021;Lemieux et al, 2020;Lazuashvili et al, 2019). The empirical insights have proposed that blockchain would increase trust mainly through verifiability (Bennett et al, 2021;Goderdzishvili et al, 2018;Kshetri, 2021;Chang and Wang, 2021;Kempe, 2017 Mar) but would, in some of the applications, bring new trust issues, for example, related to data (Lemieux, 2017b), as already proposed theoretically.…”

“…This finding suggests that the typical blockchain narrative is so strong that it has not kept up with current developments in the real estate sector. Rodima-Taylor proposed that the performance of blockchain in land administration should be viewed in the light of "imaginaries and metaphors surrounding empirical applications," reminding us that blockchain is not the first technology to evoke powerful narratives about its advantages (Rodima-Taylor, 2021).…”

“…In Ref. [70], the author discusses several use cases of blockchain technology in countries such as Ghana, Georgia, and Sweden, highlighting the importance of a digital identity solution to use the blockchain-based land registry system in these countries. e blockchain is a new technology; it may appear that more people are involved and that things are more transparent, but it may also lead to greater inclusion and the permanent removal of plural ownership, use rights, and centralised land management in cases where statute law does not adequately represent the majority of land users.…”

The land registry system is one of the essential components of any governance model required to ascertain the ownership records uniquely. This paper reviews the existing literature and provides a detailed literature review consisting of 3 stages based on three research questions (RQ) that highlight the step by step evaluation and analysis. We selected 48 primary articles out of 477 extracted from different scientific databases based on criteria and RQ defined in the research method section. The majority of these papers focus on assessing the identity issues related to the land registry system and reviewing the existing identity models to find the best possible identity model to resolve the identified identity problems in the land registry. This paper examines the current land registry model and its shortcomings. It explains the various blockchain types and their characteristics. It further evaluates the usability of blockchain technology in different aspects of the land registry. Identity management is one of such weaknesses in the blockchain-based land registry model that has been assessed in detail. Identity issues of blockchain-based models have been further evaluated on defined criteria. The paper ends with a discussion on possible identity models and their comparative analysis to ascertain the most suitable identity model to resolve the identity issues of land registry systems.
