Cost Efficiency Analysis in Integrated Cadastre Mapping System Through an Operational Management Approach

Abstract

Responding to cost inefficiency in the Indonesian cadastral mapping system, this study aimed to analyze the implementation of integrated mapping activities, namely complete systematic land registration, assessing land value zones, and regional land stewardship balance. This study employed an operational management system, particularly focusing on financial aspects, using data envelopment analysis (DEA), a non-parametric technique for evaluating the relative efficiency of decision-making units. These approaches are rarely explored in cadastral mapping. DEA was used to analyze the efficiency of seven aspects: aerial mapping, office supplies, meetings, consumption, transportation, capital expenses, and socialization. Content analysis was used to identify integration parameters derived from operational management-based integration. Cronbach’s alpha was used for the reliability test. The Way Sulan sub-district of South Lampung Regency in Lampung Province, Indonesia, was selected as the study area due to its complete mapping activities. The findings suggested that applying operational management for integrated cadastral mapping is effective. However, contrary to expectations, efficiency was lower in dense urban areas, where costs tend to be cheaper, while efficiency was higher in agricultural areas, where expenses were much greater. Based on this study, an operational management approach to integrated cadastral mapping is recommended to improve budget efficiency and general standards of land management, especially in areas with complex land use.
