ABSTRACT 
Subject of this paper is the description of the National Resource Survey and 
Mapping Project of Indonesia, particularly of its remote sensing program. The Project 
when completed, will provide Indonesia with much needed baseline data on forestry, 
agriculture, soils, geology and landuse/land capability. They will be in the form of 
integrated resource maps at 1 : 25,000 scale for densely populated Java, Madura and 
Bali and at 1 : 50,000 scale for the rest of the country. In addition, the resource data 
will be stored in the National Environmental Geographic Information System (NEGIS). 
The Project is unique because of its size, concept and mapping technology. 
It is the first resource mapping project cover the whole national territory 
of such size and complexity. The Indonesian archipelago consists of some 13,660 
island extending 5,100km along the equator and covering a land area of approximately 
1,959,500sq.km. 
Îts concept is based on three main design features : 
a) Adoption of integrated resource mapping methodology in order to eliminate 
duplicity and to standardize procedures for production of resource maps; 
b) Cooperation between the National Coordination Agenry for Surveys and 
Mapping (BAKOSURTANAL) and the specialized resource agencies in the 
production of integrated resource maps; 
c) Establishment of NEGIS in order to simplify location of records of 
completed resource surveys and inventories, to increase flexibility of 
resource data storage and handling, and to facilitate their revisions. 
The following mapping technology has been adopted : 
a) Acquisition of resource data by multistage and multisensor remote sensing, 
including Landsat, SI.AR, high and medium altitude aerial photography with 
a dual-camera system; 
b) Establishment of mapping control by Doppler satellite positioning, aerial 
triangulation and photogrammetric block adjustment; 
c) Orthophoto mapping; 
d) Selective combinations of resource data according to users demands; 
e) Multicolor map printing.
