BIG head Hasanuddin Zainal Abidin said on Monday that the Defense Ministry had a large amount of data and had to separate data deemed sensitive and a security risk from data in the public interest.

“There is data on state security. So, it needs special treatment,” Hasanuddin said in Jakarta on Monday as quoted by kontan.co.id on the sidelines of a national coordination meeting regarding geospatial information infrastructure and the preparation for the launch of the One Map Policy portal.

Coordinating Economic Minister Darmin Nasution said the One Map Policy integrates 85 thematic maps from 34 provinces, involving 57 ministries and other government agencies.

The single map is expected to help resolve prolonged land conflict on overlapping land ownership claims, which has hampered investment and development.

Darmin said the government was in the process of synchronizing the map, as each agency had its own unique map.

“Synchronization is important. If there is an overlap, we will resolve it,” Darmin said, adding that legal considerations were also being discussed. (bbn)
