| Summary: | In the past, geospatial data and information systems were developed for a nation’s security purposes, but
nowadays they are utilized to augment its prosperity. Accordingly, the development of geospatial information
and communication infrastructure has become imperative to provide the ease and speed of geoinformation
access, as well as to reduce redundancy. In this vein, the Indonesian government (GoI) has established the Ina-
SDI (Indonesian GeoSpatial Data Infrastructure) under the Presidential Regulation Nr. 85 year 2007, following
which the BAKOSURTANAL (National Coordinating Agency for Surveying and Mapping) received a
mandate from the GoI to coordinate the development of Ina-SDI operational model which is to be actualised
within two years under the Ina-SDI Development Project. This article embarks on an exploratory assessment of
the development of Ina-SDI. The conclusion is that the success of the Ina-SDI is dependent on the completion
of a nationwide standardized based map, the integration of all Ina-SDI geospatial data and information players,
the support for ease and speed of data and information accessibilities through integrated ICT infrastructures,
and the provision and enforcement of laws and regulation to enable the Ina-SDI to take off from a ‘rowing’ to
a ‘steering’ role in order to lend support to the country’s geospatial commerce and industry. |
