Implementation of One Map Policy for Building National Land Cover Map in Indonesia
Nurwajedi Nurwajedi et al.
National Thematic Land Cover/Land Use Geospatial Information of Indonesia have been produced by several Ministries and Institutions more than decades. During the Cabinet Meeting on December 23 2010, the President of Indonesia showed the discrepancy of the land cover maps produced by the Ministry of Forestry and the Minsitry of Environment. The finding of this map dicrepancy gave the spirit to state the importance of One Map Policy. This policy is then strengthened by the Law No. 4/2011 on Geospatial Information. In this Law, BIG is given mandat to implement One Map Policy. As an initial step to implement One Map Policy, in 2013 BIG coordinated the related ministries/agencies to review the classification standard of land cover for land cover mapping with the scale of 1: 250.000. This effort resulted the new classfication standard of land cover. Currently, BIG coopertaing with the related Ministries/Agencies are developing one map of national land cover, using the new classfication standard of land cover concerned. The one map of National land cover developed will be used as baseline by stakeholders for any purposes, such as for biomass mapping, food security, national spatial planning, etc.
