Tuesday (28/11/2017) the UI Geography Department in collaboration with the Southeast Asian Geography Association (SEAGA) held the first SEAGA conference at UI in the UI Depok Hall area.
This year's theme is "Geography for Global Understanding: Sustainable Changes in Environment, Society, and People".
Present as one of the keynote speakers was the Deputy for Thematic Geospatial Information, Dr. Ir. Nurwadjedi, M.Sc, who talked about the national policy of “One Map”.
"We must realize that one of the biggest problems in Indonesia is the land problem," he said.
One of the causes of the emergence of land use conflicts is the absence of maps that have the same standards and format among agencies that have the authority to grant land use permits.
"It must be remembered that map data is often the basis for location permits for every activity for agencies/institutions at the central and regional levels," he added.
For this reason, it is necessary to unify all map information produced by various agencies into one map in an integrative manner so that there are no differences or overlapping information.
From here emerged the concept of “One Map” with the slogan “One Reference, One Standard, One Database, & One Geoportal”. In other words, the big goal is data sharing from the same source.
When this One Map Policy is realized, it will have many benefits, including resolving land use conflicts and resolving regional boundary conflicts.
However, according to Nurwadjedi, there are several obstacles faced by the government in realizing this one map concept, including human resources (HR) problems.
According to him, currently Indonesia is very short of qualified and expert human resources in the geospatial field. This is where, according to him, the role of educational institutions such as UI is needed.
He hopes that universities in Indonesia can create vocational schools in the geospatial field that can produce ready-to-use workers who are useful for the nation and state.
