SuperMap, in collaboration with the Regional Development Planning Agency of South Sulawesi Province (Bappelitbangda) and Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) Spatial Data Infrastructure Center (PIDS), successfully hosted a geospatial technology workshop in Makassar, the capital of South Sulawesi Province.
The workshop brought together over 120 participants from government agencies, academia, and the geospatial industry. Discussions focused on the practical application of geospatial data, GeoAI, and digital twin technologies in regional planning, mining, disaster prevention, and smart city development. The event explored how data-driven approaches can enable precise governance and support sustainable development.
Government–Industry–Academia Collaboration Strengthens Geospatial Foundations
South Sulawesi Province is actively advancing data-driven smart development strategies in alignment with Indonesia's "One Map Policy." During the workshop, participants engaged in in-depth discussions on township spatial planning, surveying in remote areas, and talent development, addressing key grassroots challenges with practical solutions.
A representative from Bappelitbangda emphasized that accurate, real-time, and integrated geospatial data is essential for improving planning quality, optimizing public services, and enhancing disaster management capabilities.
Meanwhile, PIDS ITB highlighted that effective utilization of geospatial data relies on four core pillars: data, platforms, talent, and regulatory frameworks. The workshop provided actionable technical solutions to support local governments in implementing an efficient "collect once, use many times" data management model.
SuperMap GIS Demonstrates Practical Solutions for Local Challenges
In response to regional development needs and Indonesia's "One Map Policy," SuperMap engineers showcased a range of innovative solutions:
GeoAI-powered Monitoring: Automatically detects changes in buildings and land use, supporting dynamic supervision in mining areas and land resource monitoring.
Big Data & 3D GIS Technologies: Enable refined urban management and flood simulation, empowering digital twin governance in key areas such as Makassar's CPI core district.
Offline Deployment Solutions: Ensure smooth map data management in areas with unstable network connectivity, meeting the operational needs of remote regions.
SuperMap also shared best practices from China, Malaysia, Japan, and other countries in disaster management and spatial planning, offering valuable insights for local implementation in Indonesia.
Driving Long-Term Impact Through Geospatial Intelligence
This workshop marks another important step in SuperMap's commitment to the Indonesian market and its mission to empower local governance through GIS technology.
Looking ahead, SuperMap will continue to leverage its technological strengths and ecosystem partnerships to collaborate with global stakeholders. By advancing spatial intelligence, SuperMap aims to support governments and academic institutions worldwide in tackling geospatial challenges and delivering smarter planning, disaster resilience, and sustainable urban development.
