SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACT OF COORDINATED CADASTRAL SYSTEM (CCS) IMPLEMENTATION FOR PENINSULAR MALAYSIA Associate Professor Ghazali Desa Faculty of Geoinformation Science and Engineering UNIVERSITI TEKNOLOGI MALAYSIA Skudai, Johor. 1.0 INTRODUCTION The studies on conceptualizing CCS for Peninsular Malaysia by Ahmad Fauzi Nordin (2001) and Abd. Majid Kadir and Ghazali Desa (2001) have characterized the system as having: (1) a Common National Coordinate System with GDM2000 as the geodetic datum and Geocentric Cassini and RSO as the projection system, (2) a Cadastral Control Infrastructure that is based on a higher geodetic order with adequate density, (3) a complete and layered Digital Cadastral Database (DCDB) designed according to appropriate data modeling technique with a unique parcel identifier, (4) a unique single set of survey accurate Coordinates, and (5) the Cadastral Survey Practice that employs least square adjustment technique and based on the “whole-to-part” survey concept (Figure 1.0). Based on these characteristics, the implementation of the CCS for Peninsular Malaysia will definitely affects the current practice of cadastral surveying to a certain extent. Evidently, it would to a varying extent, impact upon government departments and agencies, private and public companies, and member of the public. Introducing CCS involves planning, executing, administering and organizing as well as other organizational and institutionally related matters. The implementation of CCS will incur expenses that would have to be adequately financed and it appears that ultimately it is the people who are to be involved in the implementation and who contribute to the system that will determine the success of the system. It is their capability and commitment that will see the project and envisaged system through any eventualities. Consequently, apart from having adequate manpower to execute the tasks at hand, training or re-training to develop them towards higher lev
