BIG Various Geospatial Sciences with Ogan Ilir Community

Ogan Ilir, Geospatial News - Geospatial Information Agency (BIG) is a non-ministerial government agency tasked with carrying out governmental tasks in the field of Geospatial Information (IG). BIG is tasked with mapping the inventerization of natural resources in order to support national development.

"The activities carried out by BIG include providing maps of various scales to all regions of Indonesia, including maps of the Ogan Ilir Regency," said House Commission VII member Yulian Gunhar when giving a speech at IG Dissemination in the Hall of Ulu's Pemulutan Village, Pemulutan District, Ogan Ilir, South Sumatra, Thursday, 7 February 2019.

In addition, continued Yulian, BIG also mapped the boundaries of villages, sub-districts, districts, provinces, to national borders. Not only that, BIG did a mapping of the potential of regional resources.

"The existence of a complete IG, the acceleration of regional development can be realized," he said.

Meanwhile, Head of the Earth Mapping Center and BIG Toponym Ida Herliningsih explained, President Joko Widodo had launched the One Map Policy Geoportal (KSP) in December last year. This policy aims to minimize overlapping licensing and land use which is a classic problem in Indonesia.

"The large number of overlapping land uses has caused high land conflicts in Indonesia," said Ida.

With the future KSP, it is hoped that there will be no overlapping land permits, Ida concluded.

Until now, KSP Geoportal has been continuously improved to ensure that space is used fairly. Perpetrators of regional spatial deviations will get decisive action.

For information, this IG Dissemination was attended by 200 participants consisting of the Organization of the Regional Organization of Ogan Ilir Regency, members of the youth group, women PKK, and the community. On this occasion, BIG exhibited a number of its products, including maps, atlases, books and magazines related to IG. (YI / NIN).
