The development of infrastructure that becomes the work program of President Joko Widodo and Vice President Jusuf Kalla is closely related to the utilization of space and land use. Therefore, in order to obtain a geospatial reference with one standard, the government continues to accelerate the one map policy. 

Monday afternoon, February 5, 2018, President Joko Widodo along with Vice President Jusuf Kalla and related officials again discussed the implementation of this one map policy. It was the third meeting to discuss the policy.

He cautioned that this policy is crucial for immediate implementation. Differences in geospatial data and references so far have often made the process of determining strategic policy difficult.

"The overlapping of maps and licensing has led to conflict and resulted in disputes that hampered economic growth in the region, as I received information on KalimantaK island about four million hectares of forest overlap with plantation areas," he continued.

The President believes that the one map policy when  fully implemented will be able to solve the problems that often arise in the field as happened in Kalimantan. ( biro pers )
