Abstract
Spatial Enablement in Malaysia:From Strategy to Benefits
Geospatial information and its management are important as many parts of business activities, government and the industries at large, are associated with locations and other happenings in geographic space.Internationally, the importance of geospatial information is also recognized by many government authorities and is reflected by the widespread implementations of spatial data infrastructure (SDI) in the various countries. Geospatial technologies and services play a critical role in utilizing this information to work smarter, manage logistics, and support informed decisions throughout the economy. There has been an increasing demand by the community, and an acknowledgment by most governments, that data about the Earth should be made more readily available to all, to enable rational debate and better decision making. In the Malaysian context, the implementation of Malaysian Geospatial Data Infrastructure (MyGDI) addresses to a large extent the need to coordinate and manage the production and use of geospatial data. MyGDI has established the necessary fundamentals that put in place policies and procedures to enable data sharing. The number of actors involved in generating, managing and providing geospatial information has increased significantly. However, there is a need to further improve the management of geospatial information by identifying clear strategies on the management of the geospatial data.Malaysian government will continue to have key role in the provision of geospatial information and be substantial users of geospatial data. This will contribute towards economic viability of geospatial data and activities in general .

Abstract
On the Roles of Geospatial Information for Assessment of Natural Hazards Affecting the Mega City of Jakarta
Jakarta is the capital city of Indonesia with a population of about 9.5 million people, inhabiting an area of about 660 square-km. It is located within a deltaic plain and passes by 13 natural and artificial rivers flowing through it to Java Sea. In the last three decades, urban development of Jakarta has grown very rapidly in the sectors of industry, trade, transportation, real estate and many others. This rapid urban development has caused several negative externalities, such as: extensive conversion of prime agricultural areas into residential and industrial areas, significant disturbance to main ecological function of the upland of Jakarta area as a water recharge area for Jakarta city, and increase in groundwater extraction due to development of industrial activities and the high population increase. In turns Jakarta is then prone toward a few natural hazards mainly land subsidence and flooding. The recent larges flooding in Jakarta occurred in 1996, 2002, 2007, 2013 and 2014. The results obtained from various geodetic monitoring techniques over the period between 1982 and 2014 show that land subsidence in Jakarta has spatial and temporal variations, with typical subsidence rates of about 5 to 10 cm/year. In general, the impacts of land subsidence in can usually be seen in the forms of cracking of permanent constructions and roads, changes in river canal and drain flow systems, wider expansion of coastal and/or inland flooding areas, and malfunction of drainage system. Several areas along the coast of Jakarta already have experienced tidal flooding during high tide periods. These coastal flooding usually occurs in the areas with relatively large subsidence rates. Subsidence in the areas along the rivers which are flowing throughout Jakarta, will also worsen the impacts of riverine flooding. The changes in river canal and drain flow systems and malfunction of drainage system due to land subsidence will also aggravate the flooding. Geospatial information is useful for studying the characteristics, causes and impacts of those land subsidence and flooding phenomena. This paper concentrates on the roles of geospatial information for risk assessment of these hazards which are presently affecting Jakarta.

Abstract
Plantation from above: How remote sensing has changed the operation and Land management of oil palm plantation in Malaysia
Remote sensing has been part of a wonderful storm that has transformed oil palm operation management in Malaysia. The other drivers of this transformation are changing in social values especially concerns over biodiversity, new sciences and new computer technologies that allow processing and visualization of large data sets and models. The goals of this presentation are to review the contribution of remote sensing to agricultural science and management, identify challenges, and to show up future directions ot its applications in oil palm plantation. The contributions of remote sensing have been various and include giving scientists and agricultural managers the capability to; visualize and understand the spatial pattern of oil palm plantation over large areas, characterize and model tree distributions at multiple scales, monitor tree health as a result of natural and human disturbance, spatially model patterns of oil palm productivity at regional scales, develop regional conservation plans that protect sensitive components of biodiversity and while producing palm oil, evaluate the patterns of severity of diseases oil palm and understand the drivers of the infection, reduce costs of monitoring relative to field-based inventory, and model the potential effects of agricultural policies and changing climate on vegetation. These changes have directly affected the research and management of these oil palms. However, remote sensing has also changed the practice of oil palm operation management-it has made it more transparent. Remote sensing has also posed new challenges to agricultural managers including downscaling information from pixels to the ground, incorporate error and uncertainty, monitoring findings and model results in an adaptive management context, and managing large data sets. Newer types of remote sensing such as LiDAR offer opportunities to both integrate multiple remote sensing data sources and provide information about structure at spatial scales that are relevant to site and stand management. As agricultural managers struggle to assess and plan adaptation strategies in oil palm management remote sensing can provide a way of the solution in agricultural assessment and management.

Abstract
A TURNKEY COMPACT HYPERSPECTRAL SENSING SYSTEM FOR MAPPING AND MONITORING OF OIL PALM PLANTATIONS
Nutrient deficiency and disease in oil palm plantations can amount to billions of dollars in remedial expenditures and productivity loss to its owners. Hence, early diagnosis of nutritional disorders and infections is crucial for ensuring crop health, and thereby, maximize returns on investment (ROI). The present method of manual assessment is very labour and time intensive, which from these generalized observations results in higher operational costs and inaccurate diagnostics of the palm stand conditions. This paper discusses on a turnkey compact airborne hyperspectral sensing system for mapping and monitoring individual palms within the stand. The system comprise of a compact size airborne imaging sensor that is customizable for light aircraft platforms with an automated processing tool for extracting the features that are related to the palm tree physiological state from the hyperspectral image dataset. These are then translated into operational or field information for individual palm tree census, health and nutrient mapping.

Abstract
Wikipedia describes: “Integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) or Integrated coastal management (ICM) is a process for the management of the coast using an integrated approach, regarding all aspects of the coastal zone, including geographical and political boundaries, in an attempt to achieve sustainability. This concept was born in 1992 during the Earth Summit of Rio de Janeiro.”
Many of the aforementioned data layers are already in existence, but in most cases the near shore bathymetry data and how it connects to the land based topography is missing for the following reasons:
-
Many of the shallow water areas are difficult if not impossible to access by a Survey Vessel
-
Very slow and costly effort to acquire the data
-
High risk to watercraft and personnel when attempting to collect data in uncharted shallow water areas
-
Fuzziness of land / water border due to the dynamic nature of the coast make it difficult and costly to update the existing data by conventional means
-
Exclusive, protected coastal zones prohibit access to watercrafts (coral reef protection etc.)
Managing and monitoring the coastal zones around the world is crucial, not only for sustainability reasons, but also for the modelling of disaster events, such as Tsunamis, Typhoons, Earthquakes and others event.
Bathymetry LiDAR systems are the ideal system to collect the much needed data in the shallow to deep water areas very cost effectively, covering large areas from the air to a high degree of accuracy. This paper discusses the possibilities of modern state of the art Bathymetry LiDAR system and it’s limitations.

Abstract
Ocean & Coastal Observation Using Airborne Systems
With the world's population and commerce concentrated near coastal environments, understanding near-shore habitats is critical for disaster planning, measuring environmental impacts and adapting to growing populations and rising seas. Ship-borne observation systems can be very effective in specific situations, but depend on the ship's flexibility and operational efficiency and are hindered by hazardous waters. Airborne ocean observation systems cover large areas efficiently and are free from these limitations. Advanced data fusion techniques using data from a pulsed, high-power green lidar and a hyperspectral sensor provide critical coastal environment information - including high-resolution diffuse attenuation coefficients, water depth changes, oil spills, chlorophyll, and colorized dissolved organic matter (CDOM) - for emergency response and rapid decision making. Airborne ocean observation systems using data fusion techniques can cross-check environmental data from satellite and field observations. For example, users can compare 10-30 meter resolution diffuse attenuation coefficient images from an airborne sensor to 250 or 400 meter resolution Aqua MODIS images, or to water absorption and scattering measurements from field instruments at discrete observation points. This presentation describes data fusion techniques and how authorities use airborne coastal observation systems such as CZMIL (Coastal Zone Mapping and Imaging Lidar) to make important decisions for coastal regions.

Abstract
New base map accuracy standard in Indonesia
Indonesian Law No.4/2011 on Geospatial Information mandates that base mapping shall be established solely by BadanInformasiGeospasial (BIG or Geospatial Information Agency, Indonesia) from the smallest scale (1:1.000.000) up to the largest scale (1:1.000). Due the limited capacity of BIG compared to the increasing demand especially from Local Governments in order to complete their spatial planning, BIG opened up the possibility for Local Governments and other institutions to also establish base maps to suit their needs. Establishment of base maps by different institutions requires standards that shall be strictly implemented to ensure seamless integration of various base maps. On the other hand, standard is one of the main elements of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure that is currently being developed in Indonesia. These two factors validate the needs for assessing existing mapping standards both from the technical and legal point of view, and if necessary to establish new standards in Indonesia. Map accuracy standard consist of geometric accuracy standard and attribute accuracy standard. Existing standards scatters across different documents with different level of legal status. An effort has been made to evaluate the existing standards by implementing technical studies and intensive discussion with the national stakeholders (government agencies, universities, and industry). It was found out that to accommodate base maps made by different institutions for different purposes, more than 1 class of standard for geometric accuracy are necessary without jeopardizing the seamless integration of the maps. Three map standard classes are adopted as introduced by ASPRS (American So ciety for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing) with some modification to suit the existing conditions in Indonesia. Geometric accuracy in CE90 and LE90 are defined for the horizontal and vertical component, respectively, for every standard scales. This accuracy standard is the minimum requirement that Indonesian base maps should satisfy.

Work progress management and quality control in NSDI project
In Indonesia, in the frame of National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) development project, PASCO CORPORATION (JAPAN) has completed the production of topographic line maps over the 300,000 km2 area (scale 1/50,000) in the implementation period of three and a half years. Data acquisition using airborne IfSAR system was executed within a very short period of one year, and the remaining two and a half years were used for development of subsequent spatial information. It was very effective on-site monitoring by supervision and guidance of BIG (BadanInfomasi Geospatial or Geospatial Information Agency, Indonesia) in this NSDI project. The monitoring and supervision system recorded on a daily basis the work volume of each worker, collected and put together a report on weekly basis, while also based on the work progress, discussed measures needed to be taken in the next weeks. It was possible by this management system, to control the work progress timely. Intensive discussion with BIG was implemented to assess the divergence of the actual work progress and planning. This way, we were able to put the necessary additional resources both work personnel and equipment to meet the project deadlines. The method of "quick QC" was implemented to evaluate the quality of individual personnel in the initial stage. This method enabled us to prevent quality deterioration. In addition, BIG supervisors performed the inspection on each process. All of these contributed to the minimum number of works that needed to be redone after a QC-process, ensuring smooth implementation of the project as a whole

Abstract
Geospatial Enterprise Architecture
According to American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) GIS Task Force, 40% State Departments of Transportation (DOT) have implemented a Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) as part of their overall Information Technology (IT) program. An additional 40% of DOT's have dedicated IT staff to support the GIS programs and actively participate in Enterprise Architecture. GIS is a transformational technology that empowers organizations to meet the business needs of their customers but few IT operations understand the technology and still less incorporate GIS as a foundational component of their Enterprise Architecture program. This study examines the evolution of the IT role from the historical uses of GIS in a Client-Server model to adoption of geospatial technology as the foundation technology for system and data integration in an IT services based organization. We will examine a government agency case study in the transportation industry and how GIS was first considered in the Caltrans implementation of the California Enterprise Architecture Framework (CEAF) as part of the Data Domain and its evolution into a foundational technology in the Technology Domain. The presentation will address questions such as "When is GIS IT?" and "When is GIS the domain of geographers, surveyors, engineers and other GIS practitioners?", "How is GIS different than other information technologies?", "What are the risks to IT?", "How do we get started with GIS?", and "How do we know if GIS/EA is working?".

Abstract
Collecting Odonym (Street Names) as part of developing GIS for Transportation
Geographical names or known as toponym should be collected and standardized based on the rules of place naming. Indonesia''s Geospatial Information Act No 4 Year 2011 mentioned that topographical names (geographical names) is one of the base map layers as basic geospatial information that should be used as the spatial reference for thematic information. In line with this regulation and the task of National Team for Standardization of Topographical Names to verify and validate the names of natural until man-made features; there is a need to collecting odonym (street/road names; could include the railway names?) as part of developing GIS for Transportation (GIS4T). Odonym is not only attribute information of road/street but it's the key in better planning and management of transportation. This paper described the assessment of odonym from topograhic map data and crowd-sources data for baseline in acceleration of collecting odonym for developing GIS for Transportation.

Abstract
Developing Oil Palm Replanting Operation Procedure by Integration of LiDAR and Airphoto
Land management is important to oil palm plantations managers to maintain the sustainability of oil palm yield and environment. There are three stakeholders that need good management in oil palm plantations which are the managements and executive, workers and settlers. One of the main information requires for effective replanting operation are terrains and elevations model. This paper highlights the usability of LiDAR data to generate the terrains and elevation model of oil palm plantations. The data was also integrated with orthophotos that enable classification of land use/land cover in the plantation area and replanting planning. Results showed that LiDAR gave high accuracy terrain maps that help plantations to document the oil palm replanting operation which are important to estimate yield, income and losses. A systematic procedure of the integration of LiDAR and air photos is developed namely oil palm replanting procedure or in short called OPRP should was established. The OPRP in this context means planning or proposing of lands for oil palm replanting.

Abstract
Land Use Change and Its Impact to Water Availability
The focus on this research is the impact of land-use changes from 1991 until 2030 to the water availability in Upper Stream of Cimanuk Watershed. The research tests a methodology, which involves coupling the land-use change model and the hydrology model. The future land-use is modeled by the Markov Chain - Cellular Automata (M-CA) model. Two scenarios are developed based on land use demand (population growth) and area restriction (spatial policy). Hydrology components, in case of water availability is simulated using the SWAT model. It was found that land use changes in thearea were mainly dominated by expansion of settlement area with the annual rate of change 1.17 % during 1991-2002, followed by forest (0.45 %) and grassland (0.46 %) in the same period. Agriculture is decrease in period 1991-2002 with annual rate of change -0.57 %. The trend of land use change in 1991-2002 showed that the area faces the expansion of settlement, forest and grassland area and the decrease of agriculture. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that settlement area were significantly increase during the period 1991-2002 and causing the pressures in the research area. The simulated hydrograph obtain the peak flow and water yield information for two different land use scenarios. The values of each scenario peak flow are 81.3 m3/s and 81.10 m3/s for scenario 1 and scenario 2. While the value of water yield are 279,893,000 m3 and 280,878,000 m3 for scenario 1 and scenario 2.

Abstract
National Gazetteer in the age of Big (Toponym) Data
What's in a name? Place names or geographical names or toponym also known in Indonesia as topographical names has an important roles not only in cartography or mapping activities. Nowadays, everybody can do tagging (naming) any place or Point of Interest and easily access, using, and sharing any information that generate big (place names) on the web. In the age of Big (Toponym) Data there is a big need to use a single 'official gazetteer' as reference for 'georeferencing' volunteered Big Geo-Data, user generated content or unstructured textual words and phrases. On the other hand, to accelerate the toponym data collection should be analyze the possibility of the use Volunteered Geospatial Information or any Big (Toponym) Data as crowdsource gazetteer some novel approaches have to be done. This paper described the opportunities and challenges of Indonesian National Gazetteer or InaGeoNames in the age of Big (Toponym) Data as part of 'One Map Policy'.

Abstract
Environmental monitoring of mine activities using images from UAV
Monitoring of environmental impact and vegetation cover in mine site are important steps in remote sensingapplications for mining management. Traditional aerial platforms such as airplanes and space-based satellites are not suitable for theseapplications due to their low spatial and temporal resolutions. In this article, a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) equipped with a commercial camera (RGB and NGB) was assessed for ultra-high resolution imageacquisition over a small-size mine site in Java, Indonesia. From these images, GNDVI (Green Normalized Vegetation Indices) visible spectral indices was used for vegetation fraction mapping, to study theinfluence of flight altitude (50 and 100 m) on the classification accuracy was evaluated. The GNDVI achievedthe best accuracy in thevegetation fraction mapping at a 50 m flight altitude. This indices was also spatially and temporally consistent, allowing accurate vegetation mapping over the entire site at any date. Furthermore, environmental changes was clearly captured from optical sensor mounted on the UAV. This provides evidence that visible spectral indices derived from imagesacquired using a camera on-board a UAV flying at low altitudes are a suitable tool to discriminate vegetation health and monitor environmental changes in mine site. The low cost and ultra-high spatial resolution associated with the camera-UAV system provides important information for comprehensive mine management applicationssuch as reclamation management where accurate vegetation fraction mapping is essential.

Abstract
GIS Modelling for Mineral Prosperity, Can the Data Speak Themselves?
Mineral Exploration is the high risk and uncertainty business. To reduce the risk, exploration should be done step by step. Decision making should be evaluated and taken in every step which is only two business consequents: lost or win. Lost if the exploration decision is the wrong think. Loss of the opportunity to discover new economic deposit due wrong data analysis or find nothing with have spent some money and time due the miss leading decision. The depleted ore deposit mineral and most of the near surface deposit have discovered, the sub-surface of mineral ore deposit is the challenging. However to explore the sub-surface mineral ore deposit is required more data and better geological conceptual model. Exploration Geophysical and geochemical approach was developed as mineral exploration tools which is generate a large of data set. A quantitative proper data analysis and evaluation effort are required to generate a target. In this study, on the target area, although only in small area, there is some different-multiple mineral ore deposits occurrence. Every single ore mineral type deposit has distinguished a combination geological, geochemical and geophysical feature. Anomaly overprint and superimpose was observed on the study area. Not all of the highest or lowest anomaly is direct related to the ore deposit. The 'depletion zone' which is commonly in the middle range of anomaly should be as the key of the anomaly signature. The multi elements geochemical data would be generated several data set, from the single element, combination and element ratio. Understanding of each data set and the relational to the conceptual geology is an important step. That mean the statistical and/or regression model is not work properly on this type of area. The exploration data is the critical think to support the decision making. Data driven is work for the large area for target generation. But the knowledge driven is the key of the success of the exploration especially on the target area to delineate the mineral ore deposit, by drilling for an example.

Abstract
Optimal Design of Geodetic Networks for Volcano Deformation Monitoring
Recently, in the GNSS geodetic survey for volcano deformation studies, there is no analytical equation that exactly state number of observing stations that should be installed and how the stations should be distributed. Due to the uniqueness of the deformation pattern of any volcano, which need sensitive monitoring network to detect small changes, the network design depends strongly on the uniqueness underlying physical phenomena. In this paper, the geodetic network is designed based on physical equations including a simple spherical shape of the Mogi model and elastic deformation of fault that is represented by the 3D-dislocation equation of the Okada model. In principle, those physical equations are used to represent the observed volcano deformation phenomena. Furthermore, those physical equations are used for a reference design and realization of monitoring network. Our calculation results show that minimum number of observing stations depends on the total number of parameters that must be thoroughly considered in those physical equations and the distribution of the observing stations depends on the field situation.

Abstract
Collaborative Agricultural Research Environment Based on Open Source Geospatial Web Technologies
The invention of Internet is a milestone in human history. Internet and web technologies are now increasingly used for sharing and disseminating knowledge. The scientific community also uses these technologies for collaboration. Despite the usefulness of web-based systems, initiatives for development of online environments that can suit researchers in areas such as data management and statistical analysis are scares. Given the importance of geospatial data, there have been initiatives for development of data sharing standards over the past decade. Many agricultural research datasets fall into the realms of space and/or time, and therefore researchers can use these geospatial standards and web-based sharing mechanisms for exchange of information. CropBASE is Crops For the Future’s platform focusing on underutilised crops incorporating a web-based geospatial collaborative research environment (CRE). The purpose of CRE is to increase collaboration and decrease duplication and inconsistencies in research. The tools that are provided within CRE system are meant to advance research on the underutilised crops around the world. The core part of CRE system is data exchange among the research groups. It uses available open source web technology and geospatial standards for agricultural research data. Further, CropBASE platform aims to include online tools that can assist researchers with data visualization and statistical analysis within the geospatial environment. The web based CRE also incorporates other modules like crop modelling web interfaces that are currently under development in other projects around the world to promote research on underutilised crops. This paper provides an update on the development of this CRE, and CropBASE would welcome interaction and opportunities for future cooperative projects.

Abstract
National Asset Inventory In High Density Population Using UAV Method
National Asset in term of natural resources management are necessary to increase human living quality. The importance of National Asset inventory study considered according to the situation in 2001 where about 38.402.896 land parcels or 63,3% of 60.698.455 land parcels were necessary to be registered. Thus National asset inventory will reinforce The National asset delineation. Even National Treasury Law confirmed about the importance of national asset for public welfare. Some of National asset located in a high density population, and generally was occupying by local people used as a residence, so socio-spatial approach should be carried out to identify asset location character. Socio-spatial study had map the social character of asset location, nevertheless the asset description is still not satisfied yet due to some problem likes; crowd population surrounding asset with extreme undulated topography, GPS can't work properly since the unavailability of GPS signal, in the other side high resolution satellite imagery too costly for a small parcels mapping, local people negative reaction concerning relocation issue for the people who live on national asset / land parcels complicate research team to access study area. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) method used to overcome some problem described above, the low cost in operational specially to picture a small area or separated cluster area, portable and easy assembled to reach inaccessible area, time accuracy / real time, easy to managed, high resolution photo resulted as high as common aerial photogrammetry. UAV photo will be used for land parcels analyses and to identify potential problem might arise during inventory study.

The 3D Digital Model as a Support for Heritage Information Visualization
The ability to access historical architecture information allows us to better conserve it and to appreciate its value. Today, some new tools such as 3D laser scanner allow us to create a 3D heritage building representation with high precision. However, other than the three-dimensional data, a large quantity of heterogeneous data collected during the building analysis, is often coming in various formats and is based on different type of media. To collect architecture information is, indeed, just the beginning of a long process involving the documentation that show the present state of a building or the analysis of the transformations the building underwent in time.Our works are mainly in the visualization of three types of data: three-dimensional metrical data, bi-dimensional data concerning the documentary source and descriptive information of buildings. These data are recorded on different kinds of supports.The objective of our work is to create a real-time 3D interactive Web interface, as a tool to access historical architecture information for general public. These tools allow users to formulate the spatial query of graphic and text documents.

3D Modelling of Monument “Bandung LautanApi”, Bandung (ndonesia) using terrestrial Laser Scanner
Archiving and documentation of a historical monument are necessary and need to be done for the sake of preservation and conservation. In this study, we created the 3D model of "Bandung LautanApi" historical monument, located in Bandung, Indonesia using Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) technology. The 3D model can be later used for its maintenance and preservation. Along with the TLS, we also used geodetic Global Positioning System (GPS) so that the point clouds are precisely georeferenced. The data processing, which includes target-to-target registration, filtration, georeferencing, meshing point clouds, surface generation, plotting, and 3D model video, were done using Cyclone 7 software, while 3D modeling itself is done using Google Sketch Up software and 3DS MAX. The 3D registration model has standard deviation of 0.002 m. This study produced an accurate and similar 3D model of the monument, both in shape and size. The validation using distometer shows the average precision at about cm level.
