Valuation Terminology Standardisation to Implement Mass Appraisal at Local Authorities for an Integrated Green Computing Environment in Malaysia VALUATION TERMINOLOGY STANDARDISATION TO IMPLEMENT MASS APPRAISAL AT LOCAL AUTHORITIES FOR AN INTEGRATED GREEN COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT IN MALAYSIA Chitrakala Muthuveerappan, Buang Alias, Mohd Shafie ABSTRACT In property taxation, mass appraisal is the best practice being applied by various developed contries to support paperless administation for Local Authorities. In Malaysia, the existing mass appraisal model being developed at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia is aimed to assist mass appraisal for Local Authorities under Malaysian environment and to standardise the list of mass appraisal parameters at national level. At present, the emerging issues in mass appraisal model that obstruct green computing implementation are the capacity gap, the hedonic model parameters, lack of parameters' value classification, and the parameters' terminology usage by the Local Authorities. The lack of valuation terminology standardisation consequently obstructs to provide an integrated and automated environment among mass appraisal, finance and GIS departments at Local Authority's administration. The vigorous issues at present which is the standardisation of valuation terminology, and the proposed terminology glossary are discussed. KEYWORDS: Mass Appraisal, Mass Appraisal Parameters Standardisation, Valuation Teminology Standardisation. 1. INTRODUCTION valuation.
