International Archives of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing. Vol. XXXII, Part 6. Bandung-lndonesia 1999 96 TOWARD THE TRAINING IMPROVEMENT FOR INDONESIAN HUMAN RESOURCES IN SURVEYS AND MAPPING Sukendra Martha Drs. Sukendra Martha, MSc., MAppSc. is a Head of Training Division of Surveys and Mapping, / Geography Researcher at Bakosurtanal, Cibinong, Indonesia. ABSTRACT When surveys and mapping become a spatial information industry, there is a challenge for Training Division for Surveys and Mapping (TDCM), the National Coordination Agency for Surveys and Mapping (Bakosurtanal) to improve the training systems in order to improve the professional skills not only in internal Bakosurtanal, but also intersectoral, interdepartmental, or even global. To implement the training improvement in the future, there are many aspects to be considered. These include human resources (trainer’s qualification), budget, laboratory classroom, dormitory, and other supporting facilities, and management. Other important factors are also curriculum, training method, media, as well as training programs. This article deals with such matters identifying the previous, existing and future activities of surveys and mapping training. INTRODUCTION Since Bakosurtanal was established in 1969, activities on education and training of surveys and mapping could not be separated from the substance of surveys and mapping activities. This is because surveys and mapping works are always related to skilled personals or trained human resources itself. Other reason is that surveys and mapping is an activity which full of technological substances, need to be operated by the skill personnel. Starting from the end of the year 1998, organizational unit called Balai Pendidikan dan Latihan Survei dan Pemetaan (Balai Diklat Surta) or Training Division of Surveys and Mapping (TDSM). which is responsible for training in Bakosurtanal was established. TDSM has responsibility to conduct surveys and mapping training, and has some functions such as: formulating training programs; conducting training and its cooperation; managing training facilities; and conducting TDSM’s administration. By this new organizational structure, TDSM starts improving the program and operational training on surveys and mapping fields. TRAINING PROGRAMMES IN GENERAL Past Activities Since 1977, the financial supports (undergovemmental budget or under foreign aid) to train personnel has been generated. However, limited budget will not run the ideal program to train the numbers of persons and also their quality. It is almost impossible to train professional skills on surveys and mapping in the future in this country without enough financial support. Based on the training results, TDSM has trained not less than 4000 participants in technical Courses on surveys and mapping ( this includes Geodesy, Geography, Remote Sensing, Geographic Information Systems, Cartography, Photogrammetry etc.). In formal education, TDSM has also trained 259 persons in Diploma courses, 99 persons in undergraduate and graduate courses (Sarjana 1 degree), 93 persons in Masters degree, and 16 persons in Doctoral degree. In more detailed, training results can be shown on Table 1. Present Activities In this year (1999/2000), TDSM will conduct several courses, consisting of Digital Image Processing; Desktop Cartography; Remote Sensing and GIS; Resources Remote Sensing with Image Interpretation and Integrated Surveys Approach; and Natural Resources Inventory. a. Digital Image Processing Course This course is aimed to improve the capability of 10 Bakosurtanal’s staffs in understanding, processing and analyzing digital satellite images (with emphasis on digital image concept, enhancement, filtering, quantitative and qualitative image classification). b. Desktop Cartography Course This training is to improve the technical knowledge of 15 Bakosurtanal staffs in using hardware and software to make a map design (cartographic) and for the purpose of map production. This training will concentrates on graphical drawing on map elements such as line, polygons, symbols, annotation, diagram etc.
