City Wide Mapping for Disaster Management Project


Description

This project is a joint program with the Pacific Disaster Center (PDC), Indonesia National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) and Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) Indonesia to support disaster management tools and data for Indonesia by provide an accurate up-to-date map of key lifeline infrastructures and associated attributes in OpenStreetMap, an open and free whole map and can be used for any disaster management sector by National Government (BNPB) and Local Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) using InAWARE,s a disaster management tool to improve overall risk assessment, early-warning, and disaster-management decision making in Indonesia.

The mapping activity was carried out for 2 years from 2016 to 2018 and has completely mapped 3 major cities in Indonesia, namely Surabaya, DKI Jakarta and Semarang including public facilities, critical facilities, road networks, and administrative boundaries in each city.

Replicability

This project is replicable because, during the project HOT besides doing field mapping activity, we also conducted training for the local disaster management agency, local communities and local academic institutions about how to use OpenStreetMap and field mapping methodology in this project. Moreover, all the material of the training is available online and can be accessed and downloaded by anyone. Thus, knowledge transfer is one of the essential factors in this project that makes sure the project can be replicated by anyone who interested in the disaster mapping sector.


Sustainability

This project has been involving government institution both national and local disaster management agency throughout its process. Moreover, the training and workshop that conducted for them also became essential to make sure the result data of this project always update. The result of this project also being integrated with InAWARE, a disaster management tool, used by the National and Local Disaster Management Agency for decision making. In general, government involvement in this project plays an important role in its sustainability.


WSIS values promotion

This project used open and free tools and software for its activities. Moreover, the mapping activity involved local people to contribute to map the area and also were given knowledge and training about how to conduct mapping and update the information of the critical infrastructure in their area. All the results and outputs and also mapping guidelines from the mapping activity are available for the public and can be accessed by everyone. Thus, the mapping methodology and structures allow everyone can replicate them and involving the local government and people make this project not only valuable for the national scale but also for regional and local scale and make sure there is no one left behind on the map.
