Badan Informasi Geospasial

What Badan Informasi Geospasial does

Badan Informasi Geospasial (BIG) is Indonesia's national geospatial information agency, constituted as a non-ministerial government institution (Lembaga Pemerintah Non Kementerian) under Law No. 4/2011 on Geospatial Information as the successor to BAKOSURTANAL. It functions as the country's sole authoritative body for geospatial data infrastructure, serving central ministries, regional and local governments, state-owned enterprises, educational institutions, and the general public. Its mandate covers the full geospatial value chain — national geodetic reference, topographic and thematic mapping, marine and boundary demarcation, and disaster monitoring — and is operationalized through the One Map Policy (KSP) and Satu Data Indonesia frameworks, with current leadership under Prof. Dr.rer.nat. Muh Aris Marfai.

The agency operates a portfolio of national-scale platforms: Ina-Geoportal (national geoportal), InaCORS (a network of 187 GNSS continuously operating reference stations), DEMNAS (National Digital Elevation Model), BatNAS (National Bathymetry), SRGI2013 (national geodetic reference frame), SINAR (standardized geographic feature names), and GSeisRT (real-time GNSS earthquake monitoring co-developed with Wuhan University). Supporting services include Asistensi Tata Ruang (spatial planning assistance), Peta Kita (participatory mapping), E-Atlas, JDIH (legal documentation), the PPKIG training center, and the Parangtritis Geomaritime Science Park (PGSP) in Yogyakarta. The agency was reorganized under Presidential Regulation No. 128/2022 in November 2022.

BIG's business model is appropriation-funded through the Indonesian State Budget (APBN). It offers both free public services (marketed internally as "Layanan Rp.0") and paid products via the integrated service center (PTIG), training services at PPKIG, and procurement through LPSE, with pricing set by product type and volume. As both regulator and operator of national geospatial infrastructure, BIG has no commercial sales motion and serves as the foundational data layer consumed by public-sector mapping, planning, and disaster response across the country.
