Blockchain Development

A blockchain is a decentralized digital ledger that saves transactions on thousands of computers around the globe. SPAGEO is developing an Spatial Blockchain application for the Land Registration and record management. We believe amalgamation of Geospatial technology and blockchain technologies can be integration of problem statement of Land record management. We have developed prototype and looking for scaling it this POC to full fledged product development. Please do contact us for further discussion.

There are several methods and technologies that can be employed for spatial blockchain land registration. Here are some common approaches:

1. Blockchain Platforms: Various blockchain platforms can be utilized for spatial blockchain land registration, such as Ethereum, Hyperledger Fabric, and Corda. These platforms provide the foundation for creating and managing decentralized land registries. They offer features like smart contracts, transaction validation, and data immutability.

2. Smart Contracts: Smart contracts are self-executing contracts with predefined rules and conditions. They can be used to automate land registration processes, including property transfers, title transfers, and contract enforcement. Smart contracts enable parties to interact directly without intermediaries, ensuring transparency and reducing the risk of fraud.

3. Geospatial Data Integration: Spatial blockchain land registration requires the integration of geospatial data, such as cadastral maps, property boundaries, and spatial coordinates, into the blockchain. This integration ensures that land transactions are linked to specific geographic locations, enhancing the accuracy and reliability of land records.

4. Digital Identity Verification: Establishing the identity of landowners and participants is crucial for secure land registration. Digital identity verification systems can be integrated with blockchain platforms to authenticate the identity of individuals involved in land transactions. This helps prevent identity theft and ensures the integrity of land ownership records.

5. Consensus Mechanisms: Consensus mechanisms determine how transactions are validated and added to the blockchain. Common consensus mechanisms include Proof of Work (PoW), Proof of Stake (PoS), and Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (PBFT). The choice of consensus mechanism affects factors such as transaction speed, security, and energy consumption.

6. Interoperability: Interoperability is essential for integrating spatial blockchain land registration systems with existing land management infrastructure and databases. Standards such as the Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) and Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards facilitate interoperability and data exchange between different systems.

7. Governance Models: Spatial blockchain land registration requires well-defined governance models to ensure system integrity, data privacy, and compliance with legal frameworks. Governance models may involve a consortium of stakeholders, government agencies, and community participation to establish rules, policies, and decision-making processes.

8. User Interfaces and Applications: User-friendly interfaces and applications play a crucial role in facilitating user adoption of spatial blockchain land registration systems. These interfaces can provide functionalities such as property search, transaction history, document management, and dispute resolution mechanisms

Case Studies

• Republic of Georgia: The Republic of Georgia has been a pioneer in adopting blockchain technology for land registration. In 2016, they partnered with blockchain startup BitFury to develop a blockchain-based land registry system. The project aimed to address issues of corruption and inefficiency in the existing land management system. The blockchain platform provided secure and transparent records of land transactions, reducing the potential for fraud and disputes.

• Sweden's West Sweden Deed Project: In another initiative in Sweden, the West Sweden Deed Project utilized blockchain technology to digitize and secure property transactions. The project aimed to enable automated and tamper-proof recording of real estate transactions using blockchain technology. By incorporating spatial data into the blockchain, they were able to ensure the integrity and accuracy of land ownership records

 Preparation of groundwater development plan

The consultant will undertake groundwater development planning through analysis of data of natural aquifer condition (meteorology, hydrology, and hydrogeology) that were accumulated by reliable observation and measurement, borehole inventory and prediction of future water demand and forecast the aquifer development against climate change scenarios. Define optimum groundwater development of the aquifer corresponding to the safe yield. The consultant to compare the current pumping status against the aquifer safe yield such that areas of high abstraction are subjected to restriction, areas with medium abstraction are carefully planned for future development based on the known established safe yield while areas with low abstraction currently can be promoted for groundwater development. Using the result of assessment exercise and analysis that were carried out during the study, the consultant required to formulate the groundwater development plan. This will incorporate current needs and projected plans from the Governments in the relevant aquifer areas. This plan should be presented to relevant aquifer development stakeholders for comments and ratification in a workshop setting. This consultancy will also evaluate and prescribe aquifer uses for various competing needs including but not exclusive to potential small holder and large irrigation, public water supply, livestock, commercial and environmental. This plan should be presented to relevant aquifer development stakeholders for comments and ratification in a workshop setting. Each aquifer should be addressed separately from the other. This should provide sufficient details include depth of boreholes, distances between boreholes taking in account the grazing management practices that are in place in the areas. The consultant will develop aquifer allocation plans and demand management plans for overexploited aquifer/aquifer areas or entire aquifer as delineated or zoned under assessment. He will develop an infrastructure budgeted master plan for aquifer development for which counties will peg their groundwater development plans. This consultancy will also evaluate and prescribe aquifer uses for various competing needs including but not exclusive to potential small holder and large irrigation, public water supply, livestock and environmental. The consultant will table the plan in a workshop setting to enable appropriate dissemination. The dissemination should consider divergent capacities of stakeholders and ensure that the information can be translated to an acceptable form of communication that can be understood at community level.

Development of Aquifer Management Plan (Aquifer Conservation and PROTECTION PLAN)

The consultant is expected having determined the aquifer recharge mechanism develop aquifer protection and conservation plan along with stakeholders to enable aquifer sustainability in the face of various land use changes, anthropogenic activities including livelihood activities. The plan will include costed structural and nonstructural activities including conservation, livelihood, gazettment of the conservation area that will secure the aquifer for the future, with time frames and responsibilities for various activities. The consultant will be expected to table the implementation aspects including the governance structure for the aquifer management to the aquifer stakeholders. AMPs need to be prepared in a simplified manner so that they are easily understood and implementable by the stakeholders, while ensuring wider acceptability. Sustainability necessarily considers the reliability, resilience and the vulnerability of the resource. Reliability is the ability of system to meet demands; resilience is the measure of the ability of the system to recover from failure and vulnerability is the measure of loss/damage incurred because of failure. The consultant will undertake an analysis of appropriate aquifer protection best practice in similar settings and recommend practices that will be tenable in the aquifer recharge areas that will be determined in this contract. This will include appropriate conservation and livelihood activities in these areas. This should be taken through stakeholder engagements by the consultant for buy-in and ratification. Manuals for the various techniques for conservation including greening techniques and livelihood activities will be provided, with appropriate drawings and illustration for ease of reference. Methods for community adoption/take up of appropriate activities will be recommended by the consultant.
