| Summary: | The study was first initiated to tackle an issue currently faced by the state religious council in Perlis,
Malaysia, towards the oversupply of waqf land specifically for cemetery purposes which would be unsustainable
for the current development trend. This study was conducted quantitatively by obtaining data from the urban
planning department, PLANMalaysia, and the state religious agencies, MAIPs, Perlis. Two types of GIS
software used are QGIS and MapInfo, while the result from the database will be updated into MAIPs’ database,
so-called MYGOS, with the most recent data. Therefore, the study finds out that most of the waqf land is not in
line with the land use zoning of the local plan which indicates a lack of two-way communication between the
state planning authority and the state religious council. This caused the cemetery land supply in Perlis to exceed
the current and future needs until the year 2035. Consequently, the study conducted will elevate the management
system of waqf land in Perlis into adapting the current technology of GIS. Updating the database with the most
recent data will ease other related agencies to access and integrate the information related to waqf land, as well
as improve data transparency in promoting cooperation between the two agencies. This study demonstrates the
uses of GIS in waqf land management from conventional data storing methods to modern and convenient
technologies and is also capable of showing the data inconsistency that exists between the religious institution
and urban planning agency in Malaysia. |
