Land Administration Problems from My Experience (in Indonesia)

Note: This writing seems to be my first diary in academic environment. This contains a lot of mistake in grammar but, anyway, I have to try than do nothing.

In my experience there are two kinds of problems, first is a general problem relates to political and policy, and second is specific issues regarding operational in each sector. Problems in this short exposure are my daily experiences and greatly affect the performance of the organization.

My daily activities relate to survey and mapping for cadastral purposes. Main goal of these activities are accelerating land registration and land titling by providing spatial data particularly cadastral map. One of the important roles is to supply reliable and timeless spatial data regularly to the land central database for data dissemination. Both of headquarters and local offices have responsibilities for those activities.

A set of legislation, regulations, various standard and procedures from central government, local governments, central office, regional offices and internal organization support the activities for data collecting and data management. Even a lot of programs and projects produce a lot of spatial data and various kinds of map; sometimes cause data redundancy, but those data are not much useful because of uncertainty about the data dissemination procedure and regulation. In other side, public and other institution require information to support their activities. Therefore the interesting issue for this situation is dissemination of data (spatial data, cadastral maps) and the authority of usage.

Public or the user now have very limited chance to access the data, most of the data were restricted accessed by the public for a variety of specific reasons. Sometimes they get the data easily but in the next time or in other regional office they can not get the data anyhow. Some policies allow distributing the data but only on particular case. The problem is not only providing information to public but also for data sharing with another institution, land offices regard the data belonged to the office and should not be used by other parties. There are currently no data guides and clear reasons about what data are accessible and inaccessible.

Other problem still associated with it is about the authority of the use of data. Currently there are no provisions regarding the copyright, categories of data, guarantees the authenticity of data and the person in charge. Besides to providing public access to data, land agency as an autonomous government institution has the opportunity and authority to develop types of information services in order to get revenue. With limited funds from the government, the diversification of information services will provide a significant source of funds.
