Study on the Quality of Land Data Utilised in Land Policy Making around the International Borders in Sebatik Island

There remain unresolved segments of land borders between Indonesia and Malaysia in Sebatik Island in Borneo. However, there has been a de facto boundary line used by local people as a reference in land utilisation. After a long process, the two countries have established a new border segment that is different from the de facto boundary line. This difference causes shift of some land parcels from Indonesia to Malaysia, and vice versa. The Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/ BPN) is obliged to provide Land Administration data on affected areas to anticipate potential problems. Given its importance, the quality of land administration data is essential. This study evaluates the quality of registered land parcel data based on the ISO 19157:2013 on Data Quality using the completeness and consistency. The evaluation using the completeness element shows that the data of registered land parcels and attributes are not completely recorded. Similarly, the evaluation using the logical consistency element shows that there remain gaps and overlaps in the registered land parcels. Expectedly, these results can be used to improve the quality of land data for a better land policy making around the international borders in Sebatik island.
