The higher demanding factor for residential and commercial units has seen an
increasing number of STP maintained by IWK every year. This increasing

costs. With a limited number of employees and a large catchment area, it has
raised several issues and problems such as the issue of encroachment into the
STP land. To overcome the issues and problems, strategic land development

be developed to improve these weaknesses. Based on the land issues faced by
IWK, it shows that the strategic land development will be able to help IWK in

can be achieved by IWK using a combination between the new land
management model and GIS application. This new land management model
needs to be combined and should include all the existing procedures or
