Leveraging Selangor’s Land Use Planning through the Optimization of its Web Enabled Spatial Information System - SISMAPS Geospatial World Forum, Rotterdam, May 2013

Introduction Selangor, the fastest growing state in Malaysia  Rapid Urbanisation in major cities and its peripheries  Kuala Lumpur conurbation: Incl. Kuala Lumpur (capital city) and several cities around it  Urbanising pressures on semi-urban or rural areas close to the cities In effect, diverse and complex issues surrounding the state’s planning and development procedures Selangor Town and Country Planning Department as the authority responsible to plan, monitor and coordinate land use planning Need for an effective and efficient tool for management of information concerning planning and development

State of Selangor State of Selangor Located in the west of Peninsular Malaysia. Malaysia consist of Peninsular and East Malaysia.

Statistics 4 Rotterdam-Rijnmond (greater Rotterdam) Population = 1.3 million City Population = 616,250 (Feb. 1, 2012) Size = 319 km 2 (2007) (wikipedia) Rotterdam-Rijnmond (greater Rotterdam) Population = 1.3 million City Population = 616,250 (Feb. 1, 2012) Size = 319 km 2 (2007) (wikipedia) (Source: Laporan Rancangan-Rancangan Tempatan, Negeri Selangor) Selangor State: 8,153 sq. km (2.4% of Malaysia land area) 9 districts and 12 local authorities Population: 5.5 million (2010) Highest growth rate among 13 states in Malaysia (2010 GDP = 10%, higher than the national average of 7.2%)

The Need for SISMAPS  To facilitate coordination and monitoring of development plans at the state and local authorities level.  To ensure development compliance to planning decisions as approved by the State Planning Committee.  To enable the auditing of development achievement and compliance to Local Plans.  To provide a comprehensive and integrated land use database that can be shared with all 12 Local Authorities.  To enable the public to view information on Local Plans.

User Requirement Analysis Data Components No. of Land Parcels Total: 1,086,447

Hardware and Software Analysis Types of Operating System used in Agencies The use of a server for more than 1 function in some LAs. Can be categorised as ‘Ready’, ‘Ready with Condition’ and ‘Ready at Minimum Level’.

Human Resource Analysis in Local Authorities GIS Users in JPBDS and Local Authorities Users comprise of executive and technical support staffs Executives – advanced skill and technical staffs – basic & intermediate skills Basically all agencies are ready for SISMAPS implementation but several with minimum capability especially in terms of data updating and maintenance.

Problems Identified Different GIS platform across Local Authorities and technical department requires integration Unstandardized data structure Poor data quality in some LAs Infrastructure capability (Hardware and network) Human resource

Quality of Data  Spatial Overlappings and Gaps  Boundary error  Attributes not complete  Data Structure not following the standard metadata  Not complying with JUPEM Cadastral Lot

Hardware and Software Capabilities Highly Ready Ready Ready with condition Minimum capacity Not Ready Level of Readiness

Incorporates safety, quality, precision, validity and system integrity features at both TCPD and LA levels. Shared activities based on 5 components : i. Users ii. Contents and Applications iii. Network iv. Database v. System Integration SISMAPS’ TECHNOLOGY MODEL Development Concept and Approach

System Integration On-line data sharing facilities - data cataloguing, GIS visualization and data manipulation. Integrates data from various stakeholders. On-line data sharing facilities - data cataloguing, GIS visualization and data manipulation. Integrates data from various stakeholders. Based on web services, one-stop web site access. Fast, easy to handle and user-friendly applications.

Enterprise Database Structure Feature Dataset Feature Class Polygon, Line, Point Table Domain and Subtypes Relationships Topology Geometric Network Survey Dataset Raster Dataset TIN Dataset Metadata Document Spatial data is stored in a uniform format (12 LAs); Ease the process of updating and review of information; Data can be easily retrieved, displayed, analysed and reproduced; Outputs with added value; Data sharing platform

SISMAPS’ Applications & Integration  SISMAPS - Provides 5 main functions Online EIS Local Plan GIS for Executive Local Plan Monitoring Online data updating (charting) Public Access/ User - As ‘Platform’ to all other applications, including the monitoring module, GIS- EPC & systems integration  Systems’ IntegrationSystems’ Integration - Integration of the Department’s existing applications with GIS data - Sharing of Services between agencies - Data maintenance

SISMAPS/default.aspx

SISMAPS - EIS ▫ search and query ▫ database ▫ reporting and printing ▫ metadata

Local Plans Monitoring Modules Complying land use Conflicting land use Assess land use development approved by the local authorities in terms of performance and compliance Emphasizes on spatial data, location and land use activities of current and proposed development Two main modules - the Achievement Module and the Compliance Module

GIS-EPC – Data Integration The spatial database of SISMAPS is linked to the planning information database of the EPC system (existing). Facilitates the process of technical evaluation of planning proposals

Benefits BeforeAfter Human resource High number of staffs Specific skills required Less personnel required Basic skill Accessibility Only from within the Department (desktop) Specific GIS software to access and view data. Access anytime, anywhere Online access using web browser Data Processing and maintenance Complicated processes Time consuming Costly Poor data quality Data sharing Systematic procedures Periodic data updating Platform Multiple GIS platforms Standardized platform Well structured data Plans’ Auditing activities Manual process Data gathering from various sources Simplified through developed Systems integration Analyses & decision making Gathering, reorganising and processing of multiple data User interface support for simple analysis

User Statistics  Public Users  Registered Users

  Conclusion A new tool as part of the Planning Support System Integration of functions involving GIS and data analysis in digital form. Land use data and information stored in standard and periodic form facilitates development monitoring, analysis and review. Provide a scientific analysis technique for assessing the status of LP implementation. Allow for state wide and inter border local authority to monitor development 22
