Jakarta - Statistics Indonesia is being recognized for an award for the building of Wilkerstat with geospatial technology. The statement from OpenGov gave an award to BPS, especially for the Wilkerstat application (statistical work area, red) used for mapping.
This award was given at the "Indonesia OpenGov Leadership Forum 2019" event held at JW Marriot, Kuningan, Jakarta, (18/7). The award was given by Mohit Sagar, Editor in Chief of OpenGov and was received by the Deputy of BPS Statistics and Methodology, M. Ari Nugraha who at that time came with the Subdirectorate Team for the Development of BPS Statistics Mapping. In addition to BPS, awards were also obtained by several regional governments, ministries, and commercial banks.
This award, according to OpenGov, was given because of innovation and disruptive use of geospatial technology carried out by BPS in public services that are increasingly fast, smart, efficient and transparent. The Wilkerstat application is used to update the shape and position of the digital map of the statistical work area used as an indicator of the data collection area (census and survey) conducted by BPS in the year 2020-2030.
OpenGov itself is a movement with information, communication and technology platform content that encourages an open and participatory government to realize innovative solutions for the community.
