Continue Aceh Geospatial Program
Spatial development planning and urban areas need large-scale thematic maps 1:10.000 up to 1:5000 of network utilities and sanitation infrastructure. With this data can be prevented the emergence of slum areas.
According to the Head of the Coordination Agency for Surveys and Mapping (Bakosurtanal) Rudolf W. Matindas in Jakarta, Tuesday (1 / 7), a town in Indonesia could follow the example of Paris, which has a map of the network development planning and sanitation utilities. Consequently, all citizens access to basic needs such as drinking water, electricity, and phone, guaranteed.
He reminded, the city government in Indonesia and Jakarta must anticipate the explosion of cases of illness due to poverty and lack of development planning of adequate sanitation facilities.
According Matindas, there should be a priority of making large-scale map minimum of 1:10.000 for urban development planning has a population of over one million. "With the correct arrangement of space can be prevented the formation of slums that triggered an explosion of poverty and disease cases," he said.
This mapping can indirectly support the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (Millennium Development Goals / MDGs) to reduce poverty and morbidity and mortality caused by lack of access to clean water and sanitation.
Head of Geospatial Agency Task Force on Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Agency (BRR)-Bakosurtanal Mulyanto Darmawan explained, currently the City of Banda Aceh has a 1:2.000 scale topographic base map is much greater than expected.
Map of the coastal area is mapped in post-tsunami Lhokseumawe and Lhokkruet-scale 1:10.000, while the middle region of Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam (NAD) using a 1:50,000 scale map output Bakosurtanal 1978.
Advanced Program
Now, Matindas deliver the digital mapping of post-tsunami Aceh region to the Governor of Aceh Irwandi Yusuf in Banda Aceh, Monday (30 / 6). The map is the result of three years by the Task Force-Bakosurtanal BRR. His tenure ends this June.
Irwandi insists his side will resume large-scale geospatial mapping program for the middle region of Aceh NAD through Normalization Agency (BNA) to be formed. Until the year 2012 will be 6.8 trillion of funds allocated to BNA.
Developments in NAD, continued Irwandi, will be prioritized at the opening of agricultural and plantation areas to boost the economy and job opportunities.
Prioritization based on potential human resources and land in Aceh today. The plan, according to Deputy Association Survey and Natural Resources Bakosurtanal Poniman Aris, will be supported by the digital base map scale of 50,000 from Bakosurtanal. Based on the map that basis, the relevant local governments to make large-scale thematic maps. (Yun)
