Abstract

This study discusses a possible approach for an inter-organizational relationship between Participatory Map Organization (PMO) and the National Mapping Agency (NMA) in the context of collaboration and spatial data utilization under the influence of the Geospatial Information Act in Indonesia. The potential of PMO’s volunteered geographic information to accelerate and enrich authoritative spatial data production is experiencing issues as the Act has stated that NMA has become the only organization to govern almost all spatial-related activities within the Indonesian region. Interviews have been conducted to address the existing conditions and also to foresee the ideal relationship between PMO and NMA to enable spatial data enrichment that benefits both parties. The results of this study can be helpful as an insight to build and maintain an inter-organizational relationship under the conditions that might similarly exist.

Zusammenfassung

Diese Studie behandelt einen möglichen Ansatz für die organisationsübergreifende Beziehung zwischen einer Organisation für partizipative Kartierung (Participatory Map Organization - PMO) und dem Bundesamt für Kartierung (National Mapping Agency-NMA) im Rahmen der Zusammenarbeit und der Nutzung der räumlichen Daten unter dem Einfluss vom Gesetz zur georäumlicher Information (Geospatial Information Act) in Indonesien. Das Potenzial von PMOs freiwillig produzierter geografischer Informationen zur Beschleunigung und Bereicherung der amtlichen Produktion der räumlichen Daten trifft auf Probleme. Dies hangt damit zusammen, dass das Gesetz festgelegt hat dass die NMA die einzige Organisation geworden ist, die fast alle raumbezogenen Aktivitäten innerhalb der indonesischen Region steuert. Interviews wurden durchgeführt um die bestehenden Bedingungen zu thematisieren und auch, um die ideale Beziehung zwischen PMO und NMA vorauszusehen, welche die Bereicherung der räumlichen Daten ermöglichen soll, von denen beide Seiten profitieren. Die Ergebnisse dieser Studie können dabei helfen, ein Verständnis zu schaffen, wie eine interorganisatorische Beziehung aufgebaut und aufrechterhalten werden kann und das unter Bedingungen, die ahnlich existieren können.
