Land Administration in Malaysia: An Insight of the 3D-Based Future Development Framework
摘要
The current development approach in Malaysia is moving towards vertical development with the need for 3D elements in its land administration system. Rapid development with a vertical development approach, which consists of stratified development and multi-layered development, requires a solid foundation on the land administration legal framework and surveying practices. This research is an initial study on the legal framework for 3D development, attempting to meet the needs of such development while providing legal framework insight into the 3D aspect. This research is conducted through fully qualitative methods focusing on the legal aspect with critical reference to the land law in Malaysia involving the National Land Code [Act 828] and assessing the government initiative towards a multi-layered development approach. This research proposed that the current legal framework should include the initiative of 3D development in its foundation for the rights and ownership of the land.
