Geospatial Information Agency

Geospatial Information Agency (Indonesian: Badan Informasi Geospasial, abbreviation: BIG) is the national mapping agency of Indonesia. BIG was formerly named National Coordinator for Survey and Mapping Agency (Indonesian: Badan Koordinasi Survei dan Pemetaan Nasional, abbreviation: Bakosurtanal). This national agency is responsible for Indonesian geospatial information per one map policy implementation.[1] In 2010, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (former president of Indonesia) stated that Indonesia should have a single referenced map, so there would not be any differences in spatial data for country development.[2]
