The concept of outer small island information systems

The outermost small islands in Indonesian waters have a strategic value in representing Indonesia in the border area as a gateway for the entry of foreign vessels into Indonesian territorial waters. With 111 islands scattered in Indonesian waters, the condition and status of their utilization are not widely known by the public. As a result, these islands are not fully utilized and their existence tends to be ignored by either the Government or the community. This research is aimed at providing a special information system platform related to the outermost small islands in Indonesian waters that can be easily accessed by the public. By utilizing spatial data that is already owned by Ministries / Institutions in Indonesia, we can present it on a web-based platform as a means of publishing marine information that can be used by the public. The data collected is in the form of a national portal that can be accessed from the pages of the Ministries/Agencies, which can then be processed to present the information needed by the government and the public in utilizing the islands. With the existence of an information system for small islands, the public can access data on these islands and participate actively in building and managing the outer islands which are the front pages of the Republic of Indonesia.
