A method for marine cadastral information dissemination

Abstract

As one of the maritime nations, development in Malaysia not only takes place on the land but also extends to the marine area. In addition, technology advancement has influenced and changed the surveying industry and global mapping. Through preliminary research regarding marine cadastre, the framework for Marine Cadastre Processing System has been produced with ability to process data from the fieldwork, to compute and to adjust the information regarding marine areas. The purpose of this study is to facilitate the sharing and dissemination of Marine Cadastral information as well as an initiative to develop an online web-based GIS application. In this study, the architecture of the framework for Marine Cadastre Processing System was implemented as a means to process the data from Marine Cadastre demarcation. Moreover, this system has the capability to access the Marine Cadastre data via internet and its efficiency has been given emphasis using ArcGIS Server version 9.3. The development of Marine Cadastre geospatial database has been executed to support the system. Testing carried out using the same workstation as the server indicates that the system is fully functional to process the data and be accessed by the users via internet. The potential to disseminate and share the Marine Cadastral information has been successfully proved and the study can act as one of the initiatives for our country especially in the field of Marine Cadastre.
