区块链技术在人道主义工程中的应用案例

Use-cases of Blockchain Technology for Humanitarian Engineering

Arvind W. Kiwelekar, Sanil S. Gandhi, Laxaman D. Netak, Shankar B. Deosarkar

摘要:

人道主义工程师需要创新的方法来进行技术干预,以解决社会问题。新兴的区块链技术具有巨大的潜力,可以为农业、教育、卫生和交通等各个发展部门提供有效的干预措施。在这些部门,调解人被视为发展工作的障碍之一。区块链技术促进了点对点的商业交易,从而消除了中介的作用。因此,区块链技术正在成为采用基于客户端-服务器的互联网技术的传统以中介为中心的解决方案的替代方案。区块链技术与其他技术的结合可用于解决特定领域的挑战。例如,区块链技术和物联网(IoT)的结合有可能监控稀缺资源的使用情况,如地下水水平和能源消耗量。本章的目的是双重的。首先,它描述了区块链技术的主要构建块。其次,它说明了区块链技术在农业,能源健康等领域的各种用例场景。

英文摘要:

Humanitarian Engineers need innovative methods to make technological interventions for solving societal problems. The emerging blockchain technology has the enormous potential to provide effective interventions in various developmental sectors, including Agriculture, Education, Health, and Transportation. In these sectors, mediators have been considered as one of the impediments for developmental work. Blockchain technology facilitates peer-to-peer business transactions, thus eliminating the role of mediators. Hence, the blockchain technology is emerging as an alternative to conventional mediator-centred solutions adopting client-server based Internet technologies. A combination of blockchain technology with other technologies can be used to address domain-specific challenges. For example, the combination of blockchain technology and Internet-of-Thing (IoT) has the potential to monitor the usage of scarce resources such as the level of ground-water and amount of energy consumption. The aims of this chapter are twofold. Firstly, it describes the primary building blocks of blockchain technology. Secondly, it illustrates various use-case scenarios of blockchain technology in the fields of Agriculture, Energy Health and others.
