One-Map Policy Solutions to Land Overlapping Problems

Bulungan, Geospatial News - As the youngest province, North Kalimantan (Kaltara) needs Geospatial Information (IG) to facilitate development planning in its region. Like paper, then Kaltara is like white paper waiting to be written and drawn with development planning.

In fact, the Kaltara Provincial Government is currently trying to parse overlapping land in an area that has been plotted as the Tanah Kuning-Mangkupadi Industrial Zone and International Port (KIPI) in Bulungan Regency. As is known, KIPI Tanah Kuning has been established by the central government as a National Strategic Project (PSN) as written in Perpres 58 of 2017 concerning Amendments to Perpres Number 3 of 2016 concerning the Acceleration of PSN Implementation.

"This is where the importance of Geospatial Information is to overcome the overlapping land," said Commission VII member Ari Yusnita in his remarks at the Geospatial Information Dissemination event with the theme Synergy Together to Realize One Map at the meeting hall of the Bunyu District Office, Bulungan Regency, Wednesday, February 27, 2019.

Ari really hopes for help from BIG to socialize about IG. So, in the future there will be no more conflicts due to overlapping land. This is in accordance with the One Map Policy (KSP) program launched by President Joko Widodo in December last year to realize the availability of data and IG to facilitate national development planning.

Priyadi Kardono, a BIG researcher, explained that KSP was born out of concern that there were no similar standards in map making. KSP refers to one geospatial reference, one standard, one database, and one geoportal to accelerate the implementation of national development.

To accelerate development, the Provincial Government of Kaltara needs data related to the number, boundaries, and area of villages. It also needs a qualified spatial map to find out which areas can be occupied, as well as areas that have natural resource potential.

"There is also a need for thematic maps of plantations and mining, to avoid overlapping land use," said Priyadi.

On this occasion also explained related to the main tasks and functions of BIG to the community by Bambang Joko Pratondo from the BIG Thematic Integration Mapping and Integration Center. As the organizer of IG, BIG is currently focusing on providing maps with a scale of 1: 5,000.

"This large-scale map is to complete BIG's homework to minimize overlapping land uses, both for agriculture, plantation, forestry, and mining," he explained.

Dissemination was closed with a question and answer session with the community. Residents seemed enthusiastic to find out more about the usefulness of IG. (TN / NIN)
