Implementation of a Coordinated Cadastral System: A Study on the Legal, Technical and Organizational Aspects for Peninsular Malaysia

In order to exploit and harness enabling technologies such as GIS and GPS/GNSS, and in recognising the presence of incompatibilities and other flaws in the existing cadastral survey system, there is an impending need to introduce a Coordinated Cadastral System (CCS) for Malaysia. The move inevitably warrants investigations into all concerned facets, including from institutional perspectives. The study examined relevant legal, technical and organisational aspects of introducing CCS and eventually developed an implementation model for the said system. Towards fulfilling the aims of the study, reviews on the cadastre, coordinated cadastre and the existing cadastral system were initially conducted, thereafter followed by a conceptualisation of the envisaged system. The CCS having been characterised, investigations were then performed into aspects of implementation and the gist of their outcomes were subsequently utilised in developing the eventual model approach of CCS implementation. This book will be particularly useful to academicians, researchers,geomaticians, land surveyors, land administrators and geospatialists.
