Digitalization in the Land Administration and Management System of Bangladesh: A Critical Study

Abstract

Bangladesh's system of land administration is underdeveloped. It is plagued with several flaws and issues. It has systemic flaws and is corrupt, ineffective, and untrustworthy by nature. In this industry, corruption has become a serious problem. According to a World Bank report, land-related services in Bangladesh are the subject of the majority of crimes and corruption. The study's findings show that although land is a crucial component of our way of life and economic activity, some claim that political leadership and policy levels have been neglecting it for a long time. Instead of focusing on its sustainable answers, several fragmented and fragmentary policy efforts have been implemented. Due to the intimate linkages between land and people's livelihoods and the interests of many different parties, land policies have historically proven to be extremely difficult to implement in various civilizations. Despite this claim, there are several difficulties that deserve consideration. Due to limited budgetary allocation, significant reforms to modernize the land sector have gone unaddressed. Due to a lack of suitable and proper transit facilities, adequate infrastructure, logistics, equipment, and technology, it has been difficult to manage the land and provide customers with customer-friendly services. The land industry must cope with a vast volume of data. However, because all information is processed and handled manually, it is sometimes impossible to guarantee immediate responsibility of responsible officials and to provide customer-friendly services.
