About Us

Our Vision

Promote the use of open geospatial data for sustainable development and capacity building for community

Our Mission

Socializing the Use of Open Geospatial Data

Through spatial analysis, we aim to produce information that is accurate, open, and accessible to the public.

Developing Capacity

We seek to reach out and build capacity for people from various sectors such as grassroots, open-source communities, and universities as agents of change.

Data Innovation

Through the use of free and open software We are committed to producing good quality and relevant data in answering the needs of society.

Pekumpulan OpenStreetMap Indonesia aims to create a vibrant community of OpenStreetMap contributors and users in Indonesia and provide a platform where members can exchange ideas and support each other.

In the coming years, we hope to map the country fully on OpenStreetMap and strongly advocate for its use within different groups. This can only be done sustainably by mapping while applying OSM to create solutions we face locally.

Through collaboration projects, we will create an open and diverse community of OpenStreetMap contributors in Indonesia, develop and support local initiatives that are aimed at improving OpenStreetMap in Indonesia, and promote the use of open data, including OpenStreetMap and FOSS in Indonesia. We hope to engage with different organizations, communities and government institutions as we continue to grow.

Perkumpulan OpenStreetMap Indonesia (POI) was established on 9 May 2017 under the Ministry of Law and Human Rights Indonesia ( AHU-0007699.AH.01.07.TAHUN 2017).

POI has the vision to promote the use of open geospatial data for sustainable development and capacity building for the community.

To support its vision, the POI has three missions, namely:

Our Milestone

Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) is an international non-profit organization that focuses on humanitarian action and capacity building through free and open mapping platform, OpenStreetMap.

In 2011, HOT started a project in Indonesia (HOT Indonesia) with the aim of raising awareness about the importance of spatial data for disaster risk reduction in Indonesia and building a local OpenStreetMap community.

2011

Pilot Project

  • In 2011, we were pioneer open geospatial data in Indonesia through OpenStreetMap
  • HOT ID focused on urban mapping through workshops and a mapping competition (KompetisiOSM)
  • Rural areas were also mapped with ACCESS, which is an AusAID poverty reduction project to help with community strengthening and resilience.
  • Funded by The DMInnovation (DMI)

2012-2013

SD4CP Project

  • Through partnership with AIFDR, GFDRR, ACCESS and BNPB, HOT ID has concentrated on enabling communities and governments to collect exposure
information, which in turn feeds into the impact modeling software.
  • HOT ID developing expert team has taught various OSM tools and techniques in six disaster prone provinces (East Java, West Java, West Sumatra, South Sulawesi, NTT, West Papua).
  • Funded by The DMInnovation (DMI)

2013-2015

DRR & Climate Resilience

POI developed the monitoring platform using Ushahidi for facing the Flood mitigation in the Marunda through the MURIA project, Urban Resilience with Gerobak Hysteria in Semarang

2012-2013

University Roadshow

  • Through a partnership with AIFDR and BNPB, HOT ID has concentrated on enabling university students to collect
exposure information through university roadshow.
  • 13 universities involved in the workshop and training
  • Funded by The DMInnovation (DMI)

2015-2016

DRR & Climate Resilience

  • HOT ID continues to build on the successes of the past four
years by continuing the university roadshow in two target provinces, South Sulawesi and East Nusa Tenggara.
  • In addition, the HOT ID team is providing mapping support to
DKI Jakarta BPBD during flood season.

2016-2020

Disaster Risk Reduction

  • City-Wide Mapping for Disaster Management Early Warning and Decision Support Capacity Enhancement within Indonesia's BNPB and BPBD in Surabaya City, DKI Jakarta Province, and Semarang City
  • Disaster risk reduction with LPBI NU in Barru, Wajo (South Sulawesi) and Jepara, Kudus (Central Java)

2017

Establish the Local Entity

In 2017, we took a step further by establishing a local entity known as the ‘Perkumpulan OpenStreetMap Indonesia’ or POI.
Non-profit organization by Indonesia law (Kemenkumham) ( AHU-0007699.AH.01.07.TAHUN 2017)

2018

SotM Award Community of the Year

HOT Trains Mapping Skills to Disabled Community by Improving the livelihood of the most vulnerable communities through capacity development using open-source technology. Through the project, we submitted the paper Paving the Road to Inclusive Disaster Management, and received the award.

2021

AWS University Roadshow

  • This year, we implemented the AWS University Roadshow consisting of OSM Training and Mapping Competition. OSM training was conducted for students from eight universities in
Indonesia as part of our Uni Roadshow program.
  • HOTID - POI Transition

2022

Bhumandala Award

POI was honored with the Bhumandala Awards 2022, emerging as the winner in the 'Bhumandala Nama Rupabumi' category under the 'Organization' classification. This respected honor, organized by the Geospatial Information Agency (BIG), represents recognition from BIG—the primary government institution in Indonesia that supervises geospatial mapping endeavors.

2024

Comunity Development

  • POI supports the community development with OSM Indonesia community through the program: Mapping Talk & Fun Mapping
  • We also continue the Disaster Response Activation to support the exposure data for disaster impact
  • POI received the award for Community Project of the Year Asia Pacific Region 2024 at the Humanitarian Open Mapping Awards 2024, In recognition of the “Involvement of Scout Community in Disaster Preparedness through Open Mapping and OpenStreetMap Utilization open mapping project”

2022-2023

Sustainable Cities Project

  • Crowd Source Spatial Data for Support Safe and Secure City in Bandung with WRI Indonesia, GERAK, and ICLEI
  • Electric Vehicle (EV) Zone Planning Data Collection in Bali with WRI Indonesia
  • Artificial & Natural Lake Crowdsource Mapping Design in
Jabodetabek with UNDP Accelerator Labs
