Abstract
Blockchain technology has become wide usage technology that can be integrated to variety of applications in different sectors to enhance the performance, security or to add a layer of implementation with specific features. In some cases it replaces the traditional type of existed systems to provide a solution to specific concerns such as the case with land record system. In this research, we provide a brief introduction of the blockchain technology in land administration, analyzing some of existed and proposed frameworks for land administration systems through a systematic review and summarize the results. Also, we highlighted the main benefits of the blockchain technology and the most important vulnerabilities in blockchain platforms. Also, we proposed a private blockchain framework using Hyper- ledger Fabric and highlighted the main reasons to choose such a platform for our system and how it can solve the double spending and tampering issues. Finally, the objective of this research is to provide mechanisms that solve the security issues to answer the research questions and develop and verify the effectiveness of our proposed framework.
