PRESIDENT Joko Widodo, Tuesday (11/12/2018), launched One Map Policy Geoportal (KSP Geoportal) to provide one accurate and accountable map. The regulation on the program to accelerate One Map Policy has been enacted since 2016 by issuing Economic Policy Package VIII and Presidential Regulation Number 9 Year 2016.It is a national information portal to serve as a point of reference for land use planning by all government institutions and the general public. "Take action immediately to resolve any overlap in land utilization planning by using data from the geoportal," the President said in Hotel Bidakara, Jakarta.One Map Policy is a priority program in implementing Nawa Cita (nine development priorities). Under the One Map Policy, the government could set development plan, provide infrastructure, issue permits and lands right, as well as share national policy based on accurate data spatial.On a press release, Tuesday (11/12/2018), Coordinating Economic Minister Darmin Nasution reported to the President that the government has integrated 83 of 85 thematic maps.
