The aggregation of land is a perpetual problem that exists even now in many places of the country. Many developing nations such as Malaysia lack data on the types and area of land aggregation at river reserve areas.

In order to achieve this study, three objectives were established which were i) to determine the land aggregation types at river reserve area in Sungai Perlis ii) to identify total area of land aggregation at Sungai Perlis reserve area. To fulfil the objectives, ArcGIS is used to digitize the land aggregation at river reserve areas.
