Abstract

Land management in Benin is a great challenge for its administration. Due to the nonexistence of appropriated tools, land transfer cases end up in litigation. Several court judgements refer to them when the people concerned do not deliver justice.
The goal of this paper is to design a secure system for land management using Ethereum blockchain technologies. In doing so, landowners should be able to visualize information about the areas and locate them through a web mapping application by using LeafLet library.
The solution we propose is mainly usable by notaries and landowners. Nevertheless, all citizens can visualize on an online map, all the lands of the system. This way of doing so, we have a secured land solution based on Ethereum blockchain which is accessible to all.
Thus, our solution will be associated with the current land management process and land fraud will be reduced consequently since we cut out the middlemen.
