Geospatial Information and Regional Boundary Disputes in Regional Boundary Demarcation in the Regional Autonomy in Indonesia
Sumaryo Joyosumarto et al.
The era of political decentralization in Indonesia, which began in 1999 is often called the era of regional autonomy. The broad of authority given to the region had triggered the formation of new autonomous regions (Daerah Otonomi Baru = DOB) in Indonesia. During ten years of the implementation of regional autonomy, 205 DOBs had been formed. Legally, DOB formation is stated in the law concerning formation of region which contains chapters on regional delimitation. It states that the region must be depicted in the map of the area. The map became inseparable attachment with the law UUPD that stipulates of the newly established autonomous region. One of the important activities following the establishiment of DOB is boundary demarcation that conducted by the Ministry of Home Affair. Since the border has significant meaning as the boundary zone management, there have been emerging phenomena concerning the accurence of positional boundary disputes during the demarcation process.
