1.0 INFORMATION ABOUT THE INFORMATION SYSTEM The information system that will be evaluated in this paper is from Malaysia. This information system is used by one of the government departments in Malaysia. The government department involved is the Department of Survey and Mapping Malaysia or in Malay Jabatan Ukur dan Pemetaan Malaysia (JUPEM). JUPEM was started in 1885 and is actually one of the first departments in Malaysia, whose main purpose is to carry out surveying and mapping activities within Malaysia and also at the country's international borders. The vision of the foundation of JUPEM is to make JUPEM a major organization providing surveying and mapping services in an exceptional manner and along with geospatial data management to realize the vision of the nation. The main function of JUPEM is to advise the Government in all things relating to cadastral surveying and mapping and also on state and international boundaries and to provide complete and efficient cadastral information for the issuance of land titles, strata and strata. The information system I am interested in in this government department is a new system called eKadaster (eCadastre). eKadaster is a development project initiated by the Government of Malaysia but offered for further development to Precision Portal Sdn. Bhd. on December 22, 2006. The main objective of the development of eKadaster is to reduce the time usually required to provide the owner with land titles from the previous 2 years to just 2 months. Beyond that, the development of eKadaster is to create a National Digital Cadastral Database (NDCDB) covering all of Peninsular Malaysia. Furthermore, the goal of eKadaster development is to integrate eKadaster and eTanah (eLand) towards faster and more efficient integrated spatial information… mid-document… this is typically limited to the nature of news information throughout the advancement of the NDDCB. The eKadaster core team may need to determine such issues as it progresses through phases during the progress and execution periods. All in all, eKadaster extend represents an important step forward from the old cadastral measurement process. By running eKadaster, JUPEM has the ability to reduce the transportation time for managing its land title investigation from 2 years to less than that. The production of NDCDB with exact survey organization has enabled JUPEM to accelerate the transformation of cadastral survey using satellite (GNSS) technology and to provide fully GIS prepared data. Accordingly, JUPEM accepts that running eKadaster in the long term will benefit individuals and economic development will also contribute to the progress of the nation.
