Development Process of the State Land Demarcation Map, Scale 1:400 (One Map) and the Management of Demarcation Data using Blockchain Technology

Abstract

Unclear land boundary demarcation and overlapped State land boundaries are among the key issues affecting national land management policies and subsequently the overall economic, social and environmental development
in Thailand. It affects the administration and management of State land and often creates conflicts and disputes between government agencies and the general public on trespassing State land due to obscure law enforcement. The government, therefore, adopted the policy to improve the integrated management of demarcation data
on the State land map, scale 1:4000 (One Map) to ensure clarity, accuracy, gap-free and availability of a map that all government agencies will refer to and rely on.
The Office of the National Land Policy Board initiates a concept to apply Blockchain technology in the integrated management of demarcation data of the State land map to provide guidelines, rules and good, accurate and timely management of government agencies’ data. It will enhance the efficiency in making the integrated map
of demarcation data on the State land, scale 1:4000 (One Map), and resulting in better clarity transparency and accuracy under the principle of “One Land, One Law”.
