Research title Investigation of data models and related requirements affecting the implementation of a Multipurpose Cadastral System in Malaysia . Summary of research For many decades cadastral systems have enjoyed a reputation for reliability, well defined procedures and ‘cast iron’ guarantees of rights in land. Property formalization, land markets and land information systems are considered keys to increased economic development, social stability and environmental management. Rapid technological and social change, globalization and the increasing interconnectedness of business relations, with their legal and spatial consequences, however, have put a strain on long established cadastral systems and consequently they have been unable to adopt many useful new developments. Recently it has been shown that weaknesses in land and property management, leading to unsustainable development can have major negative impacts on the economy and cause environmental damage, Land-parcel data has, when available, been used to help emergency responders in managing disasters, but it is suggested that a modern (i.e. multipurpose) cadastre can supply much of the data needed for the prevention of those disasters in the first place. Based on the framework already offered by cadastral systems, establishing multipurpose cadastre (MPC) will greatly improve the services provided by such systems, particularly as society moves towards sustainable development. GIS interoperability concepts, including the influences of the international standardization organizations (CEN and ISO) and the Open GIS Consortium (OGC), impact most of the countries, including Malaysia, wishing to develop MPC. The technologies, such as database management software and the internet, are available to make the objectives of MPC viable in the real world. Data integration became the main technical issue when creating a homogenous,seamless databases. But it has emerged that, apart from the technical issues, coordinating the problems of different agencies has become critical as solving related legal issues.
