3. HISTORY OF CENSUS IN MALAYSIA Population and Housing Census
Before Formation of Malaysia , 1921,1931, , 1957
After Formation of Malaysia , 1980,
1991, 2000
Next Census

4. Total Population
,745,241
,379,655
,274,690
million

5. Strategy *To conduct a census, the initial preparation that needs
to be done is the subdivision of whole country into
Enumeration blocks (EBs)
*Ensuring complete coverage of all areas in the country
*The finalization of EB maps was done by state
Offices of the Department

6. Census Geography
Prior the census data collection- a system called
geostatistical Census Area was formed
The various geostatistical levels can be subdivided I into two main types:
A. Administrative Areas
B. Statistical Areas

7. Census Geography (cont’d.)
Administrative Areas
Gazetted Boundries
- State
- Administrative district
- Mukim/sub district
- Local authority area
Statistical Areas
- Defined by DOS;
- Census districts (CD)
- Enumeration Block (EB)

8. Census Geography (cont’d.)
Urban Areas
Gazetted areas with their adjoining built-up areas which had a combined population of 10,000 or more at the time of the 2000 population Census
Built-up areas
Built-up areas were contiguous to a gazetted area and at least 60 per cent of their population (aged 10 years and over) engaged in non-agricultural activities as well as having modern toilet facilities in their housing units.

9. Administrative Areas
State boundary
District boundary

10. Statistical Areas Total EBs for 2000 = 52,877
Total Census Districts = 550

11. Overall Activities in Preparation of Census Maps
And Enumeration Block Map (cont’d.)
Started 1998
Decentralised – In Census 2000, the mapping activity was decentralised and undertaken by the 13 state offices with standardised guidelines issued by Headquarters.
Mapping as an ongoing activity in intercensal period – This is important since a good frame is required for household surveys which are conducted on a regular basis.

12. Overall Activities in Preparation of Census Maps
And Enumeration Block Map (cont’d.)
*Each EB = 1 enumerator
*Combination of 7 Ebs formed a Cencus Circle (CC)
which was under the responsibility of a supervisor
*A District Superintendent was responsible for
each Census District (CD) comprising about 15
CCs
All District Superintendents in one Administrative District (AD) came under the responsibility of the Assistant Commissioner of Census

Activities

14. Overall Activities in Preparation of Census Maps
And Enumeration Block Map
Two Types of map:
a. Census District Maps
b. Enumeration Blocks (EB)
Census District Maps
- used by Assistant Census Commissioners and
District Superintendents
- purpose for planning and controlling of field work

15. Overall Activities in Preparation of Census Maps
And Enumeration Block Map
Census District Maps (cont’d.)
-The map is equivalent to one or part of an Administrative District
-One CD consists about 100 Ebs
- These map contained District and mukim boundaries and various landmarks such as roads, rivers and name of localities

16. Census District Map

17. Overall Activities in Preparation of Census Maps
And Enumeration Block Map
Enumeration Blocks (EB)
- used by enumerators to carry out field work and as a guide map
contained 80 – 120 Living Quarters or 500 – 600 persons
Map are not according to scale but had a standard size 40cm x 40 cm

18. Enumeration Block (Sketch Map)

19. Creation of Census Circles
The Census Circle was a contiguous group of 7 EB’s that was placed under one supervisor. The preparation of the CC did not involve the drawing of any maps, but was a listing of EB’s that formed each CC.

20. List Of Census Area
For verification of the census geographical areas, relevant lists served as a guideline and control in the operation of Census activities. Five major lists which were prepared included:
Preparation of EB summary by AD and CD
Number of enumeration Blocks, Census Circles, Enumerators, Supervisors by CD within Administrative District
Preparation of locality lists
List of Institutional Living quarters
List of Orang Asli (aborigines) EBs

21. List Of Census Area
Preparation of EB summary by AD and CD
This summary provided a list of normal EB’S and EBs Orang Asli (special EB)
Number of enumeration Blocks, Census Circles, Enumerators, Supervisors by CD within Administrative District
-Extracted from the Census Frame Master File
-purposed for recruiting the required number of
enumerators and supervisors for Census operations
-also included the number of Census Circles for each AD

22. Preparation of Document 1 (Living Quarters Listing Book)
Objective:
Use by the enumerator during census operations
Contain
a. Sketch Map
b. Boundary Description (M3 Form)

23. GIS
Embody of hard ware and software configurations designed to support the capture, management, analysis and dissemination of spatial data.
Applied to census activities and output, such systems facilitate census cartography, data
capture and linking population data
(demographic and sosio-economics data)

24. Socio-economics characteristics
- Education
- Labor force
Household and housing
- Number of person per household
- Type of construction materials
- Population with access to basic facilities
- Tenure status

25. PLANNING FOR CENSUS 2010
Strategy:
‘Applying GIS component and application for the mapping activity'. (Spatial data for household and establishment)
Component :
a. Software (Arc Gis Arc View 9.X)
b. Hardware (Plotter, PrinterA3, Workstations)
c. Base Map (JUPEM, JPBD, L.A.A,)

34. GIS Software were also used for :
Analysis on small area statistics (market research, consultant, student)
2. Publishing Census Atlas

35. Population data Aggregated Using Buffering Process

36. Population data by radius of 5 -20 km from Mid Valley

37. The provision of maps serves 2 purposes;
Basic Mapping
The provision of maps serves 2 purposes;
Census identification maps locates and show boundaries.
2. Statistical or thematic maps that visualize geographical distribution/patterns.

38. Thematic Maps GIS output can be form of thematic maps
based on census data collected. A collection
of this would form a census atlas which can serve
a wide variety of users and provide and effective
visual presentation (Census Atlas)

39. Thematic Maps Can be in the form of; Sub-area Population density
Strata (Urban and rural population)

43. Conclusion It is evident that national census data is considered an
important component in planning, development, policy
formulation and decision making. GIS represent an essential information technology component in dealing with collection, managing and analyzing of large spatially referenced data
