Implementation of GPS CORS for cadastral survey and mapping in Indonesia : status, constraints and opportunities
Abidin, Hasanuddin Z. et al.
Since 2009, BPN GPS CORS has been tested for supporting cadastral survey and mapping in Indonesia, although still just limited to certain areas in Java and Bali islands. The main aim of this GPS CORS implementation is to speed up the land registration process in Indonesia; in which about 55% land parcels still to be certificated (e.g. about 48 million parcels), and about 90% area still to be mapped for cadastral purposes (e.g. about 83 million ha). At present there are 75 BPN GPS CORS stations have been established, mostly in Java and Bali, In establishing, operating and maintaining the good and reliable BPN GPS CORS that can serve cadastral survey and mapping all over Indonesia, there are several challenges and limitations that have to be properly taken into consideration mainly related to: (1) availability and reliability of communication link system, (2) establishment of reliable GPS CORS data processing and management at BPN and related land offices, (3) spatial and temporal variation in achievable accuracy of real-time coordinates, and (4) relatively still insufficient number of dedicated and professional GPS CORS surveyors at BPN and all district land offices. Future and opportunities of the BPN GPS CORS network are also very promising. Besides for supporting cadastral survey and mapping, and other positioning related activities; it can also support the national programs, such as the Masterplan of Acceleration and Expansion of Indonesia Economic Development 2011-2025 program and also the natural hazard mitigation related programs and activities.
