In 2004, Steve Coast introduced OpenStreetMap (OSM), a platform designed to provide unrestricted geospatial data to a worldwide audience. OSM is a testament to global collaboration, where volunteers, whether armchair mappers or remote contributors, unite to enhance maps everywhere. Over time, OSM’s inherent nature has made it useful in a Read more…
The Scout Movement is one of the communities that play a significant role in impacting various humanitarian activities in Indonesia. Besides having an organized network and system, it also has a very large number of members with different levels, some of which are based on the education system levels in Indonesia. Therefore, the involvement of the Scout Movement in various humanitarian activities is systematic and reaches various levels of society. Furthermore, their collaboration with various other humanitarian organizations makes humanitarian activities more comprehensive and targeted.
Special District Capital of Jakarta (DKI Jakarta) is Indonesia’s most densely resided province, with 10.6 million residents (Indonesia Statistics, 2021). Due to immigration and industrialization, DKI Jakarta has become a megacity with the highest population density of 15,978 people per square kilometer (Indonesia Statistics, 2021). However, this rapid population growth in Jakarta led to several issues, including shrinking agricultural land.
Across various slums in Indonesia, inhabitants’ resilience consistently stands out. Dwellers of these slums face multiple hardships in their everyday lives, encompassing modest incomes, confined living conditions in hazardous zones like flood-prone areas, and limited accessibility to vital services such as clean water, sanitation, transportation, and waste management.

OpenStreetMap is a world map that is free and open, allowing anyone to add, edit, and download its data. With its free and open nature, the data available is very rich because anyone can contribute. Just imagine, people all over the world collaborating to edit OpenStreetMap, making its data so up-to-date as it can be updated in real-time! However, on the other hand, some people doubt the quality of the OpenStreetMap data itself because even those unfamiliar with mapping can contribute to it. To ensure the quality of OpenStreetMap data, many platforms can help us improve it, and one of them is MapRoulette
There are many things to implement free and open spatial data, such as disaster response mapping to evacuate the victims, road network mapping for transportation systems, and so forth. However, those can only be implemented when spatial data is available. Participatory mapping, as a collaborative map-making process utilizing OpenStreetMap as a freely accessible platform, involves the active involvement of government, scholars, and communities as key stakeholders. This approach is essential for collectively identifying and mapping geographic features, especially in disaster-prone regions, where sharing spatial data has historically posed significant challenges in Indonesia. The goal of participatory mapping is to generate and share openly available spatial data that can be accessed by the public, addressing the need for collective and accessible information in these areas. From the beginning of 2022 until the end of March 2022, Indonesia witnessed over 1000 natural disasters, resulting in approximately 1.5 million individuals affected, as reported by the National Agency for Disaster Management (BNPB) of Indonesia.
Banyak hal untuk mengimplementasikan data spasial bebas dan terbuka, seperti pemetaan tanggap bencana untuk memudahkan evakuasi korban, hingga pemetaan jaringan jalan untuk mendukung akses transportasi. Namun, hal tersebut tidak dapat diimplementasikan jika data spasial tidak tersedia. Pemerintah, akademisi, komunitas, dan masyarakat menjadi bagian keseluruhan dari pemetaan partisipatif dengan menggunakan OpenStreetMap sebagai platform pemetaan yang bebas dan terbuka. Pemetaan partisipatif ini sangat penting dilakukan dalam upaya pengumpulan data spasial yang dapat diakses oleh seluruh lapisan masyarakat, terutama di area yang rentan akan bencana alam. Dikutip dari data Badan Nasional Penanggulangan Bencana (BNPB) Indonesia, sejak awal tahun 2022 hingga akhir Maret 2022, telah terjadi lebih dari 1000 bencana alam di Indonesia dengan total 1,5 juta korban. Demi memenuhi kebutuhan data spasial yang lengkap, terbaru dan akurat, terutama di area rentan bencana; organisasi non-profit Perkumpulan OpenStreetMap Indonesia (POI) dan Open Mapping Hub Asia-Pacific (OMHAP), berkolaborasi melalui program Booster Grant. Program ini bertujuan untuk mendukung secara finansial komunitas-komunitas lokal di Indonesia yang sudah dan sedang melakukan aktivitas pemetaan dengan menggunakan data OpenStreetMap. Harapannya, dengan ada dukungan finansial ini dapat membantu meningkatkan jumlah masyarakat yang memahami penggunaan teknologi bebas dan terbuka melalui visibilitas proyek pemetaan, sehingga mendorong lebih banyak orang untuk berpartispasi dalam kegiatan pemetaan untuk dapat menghasilkan data spasial yang akurat.
Since 2022, Perkumpulan OpenStreetMap Indonesia (POI) has been collaborating with Wikimedia Indonesia to increase public awareness of Gallery, Library, Archive, and Museum (GLAM) objects in Indonesia, especially among youth. Several activities have been conducted, including a University Roadshow in several cities across the country and a Flash Mapping Competition at the end of 2022.
