Spatial Data Management Orientation Study

Bandung, 01/5/12."Data is a development asset, in order to achieve integrated, effective and efficient development, valid data is needed, superior and trustworthy" was the speech delivered by Ir. Hj. Hani Yuhani, MPM, Head of the Agency's Technical Implementation Unit (UPTB) Development Data and Analysis Center (PUSDALISBANG) West Java Province when opening and receiving the East Kalimantan Provincial Government Team for an orientation study on development data and information management on January 5 2012.

This activity is a pro-active step taken by the East Kalimantan Bappeda in conducting discussions and exchanges opinions regarding the management of development planning data, especially spatial data.

UPTB Pusdalisbang is unexecuting operational and supporting technical tasks Bappeda PWest Java province. Formed through West Java Governor Regulation Number 113/2009. The main function of PUSDALISBANG is to collect, process, analyze spatial and aspatial data to serve the data and information needs of West Java development as well as managing information systems and infrorr span>West Java mathematics is the main function of the formation of this Unit.

Depart from development plan and stabilization of spatial data conditions in East Kalimantan, Orientation Study led by the Head of the Regional Infrastructure & Development Division of the Provincial Bappeda East Kalimantan Ir. H. Salman Lumoindong, MM along with staff, as well as staff in the Spatial Planning Division of the Provincial Public Works Department. East Kalimantan is an effort to get experience input from provinces that are considered successful in starting the first steps in managing their spatial data. It is planned that in 2012, East Kalimantan Province will strengthen spatial data management in a structured manner to meet agreed operational standards with the main focus being institutional strengthening.

This institutional strengthening will of course begin with the preparation of a road map development of East Kalimantan spatial data. This Road map is expected to be able to review and provide direction for spatial data development based on existing conditions, activities that have been carried out previously, as well as future development plans to create a uniform base map that can be used by various sectors of interest. span>

Several important things that need to be underlined as a result of this activity study are:

1. In managing spatial data, a complete understanding (one data) is required that the use of data is standard, uniform, legal, accurate and valid will realize quality development planning;

2. The use of base maps must be uniform for various sectors of interest and not for use by the sector itself but needs to be shared(sharing )data for development purposes;

3. The importance of strengthening institutions as a first step in realizing quality data for development;

4. There needs to be a mutually agreed mechanism regarding input, process, output and publication of data for several stakeholders different (Private, Policy Maker, and Public);

5. The legal aspect is a legal umbrella that is really needed in the implementation of standard and integrated spatial data management movements;

6. Quality human resources are the driving wheels in spatial data management. Apart from strengthening institutions, strengthening infrastructure, strengthening the quality of human resources are important things that become assets in managing spatial data.

The results of the discussion and exchange of opinions between the East Kalimantan Bappeda team and the West Java Bappeda Pusdalisbang UPTB were very useful in finalizing the preparation of spatial data development concepts in East Kalimantan. The quality of spatial data is one of the determinants of the quality of regional development planning.
