Purpose This paper aims to set out an argument for the use of blockchain technology as a land registration tool, for Cyprus and other disputed land contexts, to assist with land disputes, which may, in turn, promote peace and harmony. Design/methodology/approach The paper is exploratory in nature. It raises the historical and present land issues in Cyprus and highlights that blockchain technologies could work as a tool to record disputed property rights on the Island. Findings While there have been many pilots to date for blockchain land registration, there is still scope to develop blockchain as a tool to record land interests. Cyprus offers an exemplar opportunity to use such a tool to assist in developing peace on the Island. Originality/value While the paper is conceptual in its application of blockchain technologies, it is novel in that it strives to show how technologies such as blockchain can act as a tool to assist with land registration matters, which, in turn, can assist with new ways to approach the peace process. More research is necessary for this area of inquiry, especially as to how sidechains can act as a conduit for recording competing land interests and disputed land claims.

AbstrakSejak diberlakukannya UUPA pada tanggal 24 September 1960 maka hak atas tanah eigendom verponding harus dikonversi menjadi hak milik untuk Warga Negara Indonesia dan hak guna bangunan untuk Warga Negara Asing dalam batas waktu 20 tahun sejak UUPA diberlakukan yaitu 24 September 1980. Namun pada praktiknya setelah 20 tahun UUPA diundangkan masih banyak pemilik hak atas tanah eigendom verponding yang belum mengkonversinya menjadi hak milik atau hak guna bangunan sehingga timbul sengketa penguasaan tanah oleh pihak lain tetapi pemiliknya masih memegang hak atas tanah eigendom verponding. Sehingga tujuannya dilakukan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui dan memahami kekuatan pembuktian eigendom verponding terhadap sengketa tanah yang dikuasai pihak lain serta untuk mengetahui dan memahami cara mengembalikan hak atas tanah eigendom verponding yang dikuasai pihak lain. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode yuridis normatif dan dapat diambil kesimpulan, bahwa: Kekuatan pembuktian eigendom verponding berdasaran PP Nomor 24 Tahun 1997 tentang Pendaftaran Tanah, hak atas tanah yang berasal dari hak-hak hukum Eropa termasuk didalamnya hak atas tanah eigendom verponding dapat didaftarkan dengan alat-alat bukti yang kuat untuk dikonversi menjadi hak milik walaupun telah melewati batas waktu konversi. Cara mengembalikan eigendom verponding yang dikuasai pihak lain dengan menggugat dan membuktikan ada kesalahan dalam proses penerbitan sertifikat yang menimbulkan tumpang tindih dan setelah digugat pemilik hak atas tanah eigendom verponding harus mengkonversinya menjadi hak milik. Sarannya kepada pemilik hak atas tanah eigendom verponding harus mengkonversi dengan mencantumkan alat bukti yang kuat. Serta kepada pihak BPN untuk lebih teliti dalam menerbitkan sertifikat agar tidak terjadi tumpang tindih dalam kepemilikan hak atas tanah. Kata kunci: Eigendom verponding; hak atas tanah; pihak lain. AbstractSince the enactment of the UUPA on September 24th 1960, eigendom verponding land rights must be converted into property rights for Indonesian citizens and land use rights for foreign citizens within 20 years since the UUPA was enacted 24 September 1980. However, in practice after 20 years The UUPA was promulgated there are still many owners of eigendom verponding land rights who have not converted them to property rights or building use rights so that land tenure disputes arise by other parties but the owners still hold the rights to the eigendom verponding land. So that the purpose of this research is to find out and understand the power of proof of eigendom verponding against land disputes controlled by other parties and to know and understand how to return the rights to eigendom verponding land controlled by other parties. The research method used in this study is a normative juridical method and it can be concluded that: Eigendom verponding's evidentiary power is based on Government Regulation Number 24 of 1997 concerning Land Registration, land rights derived from European legal rights including eigendom verponding land rights can be registered with strong evidence to be converted into property rights even though the conversion deadline has passed. The way to return eigendom verponding which is controlled by another party is by suing and proving that there is an error in the certificate issuance process which causes an overlap and after being sued the owner of the eigendom verponding land rights must convert it into property rights. His suggestion to owners of land rights eigendom verponding must convert by including strong evidence. As well as to the BPN to be more careful in issuing certificates so that there is no overlap in ownership of land rights. Keywords: Eigendom verponding, land rights, other parties.

Ownership Of Land

In order to guarantee legal certainty for land rights holders, the Government is conducting land registration program throughout Indonesia territory. The program has put an obligation to the land rights holder to register their land. The purpose of land registration is, to provide evidence for the ownership of land. The implementation mechanism of the program in regulated in the Permen ATR/BPN Number 6 of 2018 concerning Complete Systematic Land Registration (PTSL). The presence of the Permen is, in order to prevent land disputes in the community by accelerating land registration. Sub-district of Ingin Jaya, which is located in the Aceh Besar district, is one of the areas where PTSL activities are carried out. Currently, there is a large area of land in the Aceh Besar district has not been certified yet, it may cause legal uncertainty for land owner and such condition can potentially lead to land dispute. One of the indicators to claim this, are by taking land dispute cases as put on trial in the Jantho Court which has reached 32 cases from 2014 until 2019. This study aims to find out how the implementation of PTSL and its barrier in the Sub-District of Ingin Jaya, Aceh Besar. The research method is an empirical juridical research; it works by conducting observations, interviews, and documentation. The result found that the implementation of PTSL in the Sub-District of Ingin Jaya, Aceh Besar, is in accordance with Permen ATR/BPN No. 6 of 2018. However, in the ground, it is found that there are a number of obstacles which affect the successful of the PTSL program both internally and externally. Therefore, synergy and cooperation with all parties are needed so that the PTSL program in the Sub-District of Ingin Jaya can be implemented successfully in order to provide legal certainty for land rights holders, so that the land dispute can be prevented as early as possible.

The Way

PurposeThis paper discusses how the features of blockchain technology impact supply chain transparency through the lens of the information security triad (confidentiality, integrity and availability). Ultimately, propositions are developed to encourage future research in supply chain applications of blockchain technology.Design/methodology/approachPropositions are developed based on a synthesis of the information security and supply chain transparency literature. Findings from text mining of Twitter data and a discussion of three major blockchain use cases support the development of the propositions.FindingsThe authors note that confidentiality limits supply chain transparency, which causes tension between transparency and security. Integrity and availability promote supply chain transparency. Blockchain features can preserve security and increase transparency at the same time, despite the tension between confidentiality and transparency.Research limitations/implicationsThe research was conducted at a time when most blockchain applications were still in pilot stages. The propositions developed should therefore be revisited as blockchain applications become more widely adopted and mature.Originality/valueThis study is among the first to examine the way blockchain technology eases the tension between supply chain transparency and security. Unlike other studies that have suggested only positive impacts of blockchain technology on transparency, this study demonstrates that blockchain features can influence transparency both positively and negatively.

Insight Into

PurposeBlockchain technology is increasingly positioned as a promising and disruptive technology. Such a promise has attracted companies to explore how blockchain technology can be used to gain significant benefits. Process models play a cardinal role when seeking to improve business processes as they are the foundation of process analysis and redesign. This paper examines how blockchain-oriented processes can be conceptually modelled with activity- (BPMN) and artifact-centric (CMMN) modelling paradigms.Design/methodology/approachThis paper discusses how commonly occurring patterns, specific to block-chain-based applications, can be modelled with BPMN and CMMN. Furthermore, the advantages and disadvantages of both notations for accurately representing blockchain-specific patterns are discussed.FindingsThe main finding of this paper is that neither BPMN nor CMMN can adequately and accurately represent certain patterns specific for blockchain-oriented processes. BPMN, while supporting most of the patterns, does not provide sufficient support to represent tokenization. CMMN, on the other hand, does not provide support to distinguish between activities executed and data stored on-chain versus off-chain.Originality/valueThe paper provides insight into the strengths and weaknesses of BPMN and CMMN for modelling processes to be supported by blockchain. This will serve to aid analysts to produce better process models for communication purposes and, thereby, facilitate development of blockchain-based solutions.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to introduce the notion of blockchain as an institutional technology, defend the idea of National Innovation Systems as institutional systems, and then make use of the theory of institutional competition to characterise challenges posed by innovation public policy by blockchain technology. Design/methodology/approach The approach is to consider the nature of blockchain technology as an institutional technology, and to consider the nature of National Innovation Systems as institutional systems. The author then applies a theory of institutional competition developed elsewhere to appraise the interaction of the two. Findings The author expects for there to emerge sustained competition for National Innovation Systems from innovation systems implemented using blockchains. There will be pressure exerted by the latter upon the former to become more integrated, secure, usable and to greater support profit expectations for entrepreneurs. Originality/value The theory of institutional competition upon which this work is based makes use of cutting-edge behavioural and institutional economics. It has hitherto only been applied at a general level and has not been applied to a specific set of institutions such as National Innovation Systems.

Purpose The land sector in Ghana, particularly skin lands acquisition and title registration are fraught with several issues including unreliable record-keeping systems and land encroachments. The paper explores the potential of blockchain application in skin lands acquisition and title registration in Ghana with the aim of developing a blockchain-enabled framework for land acquisition. The purpose of this paper is to use the framework as a tool towards solving some of the loopholes in the process that leads to numerous issues bedeviling the current system. Design/methodology/approach The paper adopts a systematic literature review approach fused with informal discussions with key informants and leverages on the researchers’ own experiences to conceptualize blockchain application in skin lands acquisition in Ghana. Findings Problems bedeviling skin lands acquisition and title registration emanated from the issuance of allocation notes, payment of kola money and use of a physical ledger to document land transactions. As a result, the developed framework was designed to respond to these issues and deal with the problems. As the proposed blockchain framework would be a public register, it was argued that information on all transactions on a specific parcel of land could be available to the public in real-time. This enhances transparency and possibly resolves the issue of encroachments and indeterminate land boundaries because stakeholders can determine rightful owners of land parcels before initiating transactions. Practical implications Practically, blockchain technology has the potential to deal with the numerous issues affecting the smooth operation of skin lands acquisition and title registration in Ghana. Once the enumerated issues are resolved, there will be certainty of title to and ownership of land and property to drive investments because lenders could more easily ascertain owners of land parcels that could be used as collateral for securing loans. Similarly, property developers and land purchasers could easily identify rightful owners for land transactions. The government would be able to identify owners for land and property taxation. Originality/value This paper contributes to the literature on blockchain and application to land acquisition and title registration with a focus on a specific customary land ownership system.
