Abstract

Implementing land use condition change via ‘fast track’ for land with no specific use condition (NIL) is an initiative by the State Authority carried out across all District Land Offices in Johor, to reduce the burden on landowners in paying land taxes. Various issues have been examined concerning the implementation of the ‘fast track’ land use condition change process when there is no specific land use condition (NIL). Among the issues are how the ‘fast track’ land use condition change process is implemented and its effectiveness. Therefore, this study aims to identify the ‘fast track’ land use condition change process implemented in Johor and examine the effectiveness of the ‘fast track’ process when there is no specific land use condition (NIL). The Pontian District Land Office was selected as the study areas, focusing on its role in implementing the ‘fast track’ process. A qualitative research design was adopted, employing content analysis, descriptive analysis, and SWOT analysis based on data obtained from interview responses. The findings revealed several strengths and opportunities, as well as weaknesses and threats, in the implementation of the ‘fast track’ process, ultimately supporting its effectiveness. Based on the analysis, several recommendations are proposed. It is hoped that this study will offer valuable insights to relevant stakeholders and contribute to further improvements in the implementation of the ‘fast track’ land use condition change, particularly in cases involving land with no specific use condition (NIL).
