Description
JKPP is a network of 33 non-government and community organizations from all over Indonesia. Its aim is: "Accelerating the recognition of customary community rights in managing local natural resources in Indonesia through the development of community mapping concepts, methodologies, and strategies." The network has three working groups: policy, methodology and the secretariat.

JKPP has the following objectives and activities for this project:

  • Sustain the community mapping network and expand mapping initiatives in Indonesia, through network strengthening and improved data management;
  • Advocate policy change to officially recognize traditional spatial use systems;
  • Increase understanding and appreciation by the public of traditional land/sea uses as a fundamental requirement for sustainable development, through strategic outreach;
  • Strengthen capacity in participatory mapping of local NGO partners in several new locations, through training support, mapping facilitation and technical assistance.

Results
There were seven packages of participatory mapping activities facilitated by JKPP:
1. In collaboration with Yayasan Hakiki, a local NGO member in Central Sumatera, participatory mapping in Pangkalan Kasai village, Riau.
2. Participatory mapping was also done in Legundi village, Padang Cermin, South Lampung, Sumatera, with Yayasan Mitra Bentala.
3. Yayasan Kelola conducted participatory mapping in Bango village, Mantahage island; Wori, Minahasa sub-district, North Sulawesi.
4. Yayasan Petak Danum facilitated participatory mapping for the villagers in Dusun Hilir, Barito, South Kalimantan.
5. Yayasan Sahabat Morowali facilitated villagers to implement the package of community mapping in Tandoyando, Petasia sub-disctrict, Morowali, Central Sulawesi.
6. Lembaga Advokasi Rakya, local NGO member in South Sumatera
organized community mapping in Kundi village, Simpang Teritip, Bangka island, South Sumatera.
7. Yayasan Kelola completed mapping in Bango village, Manthapage island, Minahasa, North Sulawesi.

JKPP is promoting better mapping and understanding of coastal resources management. They facilitated training for trainers on sea and coastal participatory mapping in Una-una, Poso district, Togean islands, central Sulawesi. The participants were from Yayasan Tanah Merdeka Palu, two traditional fishermen groups, Kaisar Mandopa and Babongko, Mitra Bentala, Lampung, Kelola and FPK in Manado. JKPP had earlier completed an internship program for participatory sea mapping. Eleven persons have now participated in the internship program, coming from NGO members of JKPP. The internship program was a follow-up to the participatory sea mapping training which had been completed last year. Spatial documentation of the Eha and Mane'e traditions in Sanger Talaud islands was also supported by JKPP. This process was facilitated by Kelola Manado. From the process and the results of the documentation, participants learned about the traditional management of the coastal resources, including use of closed periods for fishing. These NGO activists now have knowledge and skills about sea and coastal mapping.

JKPP has published the position paper "Space: For Whom?". This paper covers the history, data and analysis of Spatial Land Use in East Kalimantan. It contends that there is inconsistency in the governments' implementation of spatial land use planning. Thus, the active participation of the community in planning, implementing, and evaluation of Spatial Land Use Plans, as actually provided for in the law and regulations, has to be increased in the future. In addition, JKPP members in Kalimantan held their regional meeting in September 2000 in Central Kalimantan. Before the meeting, they had a seminar on "Peoples' Participation in Spatial Land Use Planning". The seminar was attended by JKPP Kalimantan members as well as students and government officers from various offices in Palangkaraya. The event become a venue for different stakeholders to discuss the critical issues facing the Kalimantan island.

Technical assistance on developing an Information System was provided to YTM and some other local NGO staff. PUTER Bogor was the facilitator. JKPP's secretariat also purchased a computer and printer and 35 compasses which were distributed to NGO members. It also launched its own web-site at www.jkpp.or.id . Members completed two documentations of adat management practices and ceremonies. First, in Tengger mountain, East Java and secondly, Kesepuhan Sirnaresmi in West Java. These two adat ceremonies concerned the basic knowledge of local Indigenous people in managing their natural resources. Another report was also done on the marine participatory mapping process in North Sulawesi. The participatory mapping manual and a second position paper on spatial land use in West Kalimantan are still in the publishing process now
