Towards the Implementation of Coordinated Cadastral System in Malaysia : Large Cadastral Network Adjustments

Malaysian Cadastral System is based on the dimensions of each parcel and its location with respect to adjacent parcels. Realizing the needs of modern GIS and the efficiency of GPS as a positioning tool, there is a move by various countries to convert similar dimensional systems into “coordinate based cadastre”. This paper present the results of a collaborative study between the Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) and the Department of Survey and Mapping, Malaysia (DSMM), on the implementation of Coordinated Cadastral System(CCS). The study focuses on two major issues: i) the application of GPS technique for control network densification to support the implementation of CCS; and ii) the adjustment of large cadastral network. A great length of analysis of results are presented.
