Key words: Competency standard, Geospatial Information, Indonesia
SUMMARY
In this globalization era, international and national job market put high demand for competent
labors in all sector. Many industries and organizations require credible certification from the
workers relating to the competencies they need. This standard of competency then become crucial
because it also be a parameter how effective a labor course and training had been done, and at the
same time from the demand side could increase the quality of recruitment process, and finally
overall could escalate the efficiency and effectiveness of labor market. This situation, inevitably,
also applies in geospatial sector, in which Geospatial Information Agency (BIG), as a responsible
government agency in Indonesian for geospatial sector, take its position to provide high competency
for geospatial labors or human resources. Some steps and efforts have been established by BIG.
BIG develops a technical guideline of competency assessment called SKKNI of Geospatial
Information which comprises of surveying, photogrammetry, hydrography, remote sensing, GIS,
and cartography discipline. BIG also establishes accreditation institutions for geospatial sector as a
mandate from Geospatial Information Law (UU No. 4/2011), involves in MRA for surveying in
ASEAN community, and actively participates in ASEAN Coordination Committee on Services
(CSS) forum. This paper intends to share those experiences in developing human resources in
geospatial sector in Indonesia.

1. INTRODUCTION
Standard of competence is defined as the standard used by professionals (i.e., private sectors) and
government to establish qualifications for professionals to work in specific sectors (Trinder, 2008).
In Indonesia, competence standard refers to the national working competency standards (SKKNI),
based on the Minister of Manpower and Transmigration Regulation No 5 of 2014 (Permen No
5/2014). Ministry of Manpower and Transmigration is leading sector for ensuring the
competitiveness of labor in Indonesia, but each sector, along with associations and bussines, is
responsible for realizing and improving the competitiveness needed in each respective area.
Therefore, all sectors should comply with the requirement, including geospatial sector.
Standard of competency in geospatial information (GI) sector becomes important for several
reasons:
- It is a mandate of Act No. 4/2014 on geospatial information which requires professionals to
be certified
- Indonesia, as a member of ASEAN, has signed an agreement on Mutual Recognition
Agreement (MRA) on Surveying at the ASEAN Framework Arrangement for the Mutual
Recognition of Surveying Qualifications, on November 19, 2007 in Singapore (ASEAN
Secretariat, 2015).
- MRA brings the consequences that workers in GI sector must be certified to compete in
MEA (ASEAN Economic Community) labor market which will be implemented starting on
the late 2016. MRA itself can be defined as an agreement by all ASEAN countries to
mutually recognize or accept all or some of competence assessment results and competence
certificates. MRA aims to establish accreditation procedures and mechanisms to obtain a
common understanding amongst countries, while at the same time also acknowledge the
differences and uniqueness in their own education, trainings, experiences, and licensing
requirements for professionals who want to practice.
By definition, SKKNI is a reference of GI workers competence level in the job, and in line with
their own factors, can make the workers can labor or occupy particular position nationwide
(Kementerian Tenaga Kerja, 2012).
SKKNI serves an indicator to determine whether a person is competent or not in his obtained skills
and abilities which are used further in his field while working. Therefore, this system is actually
established by the government to prepare GI workers as early as possible to compete in jobs market
and have professions in the desired sectors. In other words, SKKNI operates as a system adopted by
Indonesia's Experience in Developing Geospatial Professional Competency Standards (8172)

the government to prepare qualified and competent human resources, recognized by all working
sector and applied nationally throughout the country.
SKKNI applies as a reference in the arena of training and certification of competency. In its training
segment, SKKNI becomes a reference for curriculum, syllabus, and modules development. In the
certification of competence segment, SKKNI integrates with the curriculum in educational
institutions, especially vocational education which aims to prepare students with the skills to be
ready to work (Iswanto and Prihantoro, 2015).
Regarding certification, Indonesian Qualification Framework (KKNI) applied to the development of
a certification scheme.
Were drafted the SKKNI by using a format of Regional Model Competency Standard or RMCS that
was introduced in the Program APSDEP – ILO (International Labour Office, 2006). RMCS model
itself is stipulated in the Regulation of the Minister of Manpower and Transmigration No
21/MEN/X/2007 on Procedures for Establishment the SKKNI. SKKNI does not apply to Indonesian
only, but to foreign workers also who are willing to work in Indonesia. This enactment is in
accordance with the mandate of Act No. 3/2014 on industry (The Jakarta Post, 2014).
The SKKNI and the KKNI are the basic infrastructure provisions for boosting workers’
competitiveness in Indonesia. This paper will present how the Indonesian through BIG develops
competency standards in GI sector.
2. Indonesian National Qualification Frameworks (KKNI)
To meet the need for the improving movement and globalization of higher education market, a
standard that ensure the quality of qualifications is required. Understanding that importance in 2012
Indonesian President issued a Presidential Regulation (Perpres) of Indonesian Qualification
Framework (IQF) or Kerangka Kualifikasi Nasional Indonesia (KKNI). KKNI is necessary in order
to pair, equalize, and integrate educations, trainings, and work experience segment. Pairing and
equalization is important for granting the recognition of working competence in accordance with
job structure in various sectors.
KKNI consists of nine level of qualification, starting at level 1 as the lowest level up to level 9 as
the highest level. There is description in each level that pronounces the learning
outcomes/competency that individual should demonstrate. The description is divided into two
categories: general and specific. General description includes personality, working attitude and
ethics that applies to every individual at every level. Specific description describes the knowledge,
skills held by individuals, and it is a level-specific (Table 1).

3. SKKNI DEVELOPMENT
In accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of Manpower and Transmigration No. 8 of 2012
on Procedures for Determination of Competency Standards Article 10 paragraph (2), IG
competency units are conceived and formulated with reference to RMCS. RMCS itself is a standard
model of competence development using function approach of the work process to produce goods
and or services. SKKNI development in Indonesia can be seen in Figure 1.

3.1 Competency Mapping of IG sector
When developing GI SKKNI, we use RMCS which focuses on what is expected from workers in
the workplace. To identify the labor competencies associated with productive function, we deploy
the function analysis approach that produces a unit of competency as the smallest unit of work that
can produce a single measured output unit.
IG competency units are identified through the analysis of production function/IG organizing
business in order to achieve IG main purpose that is achieving effective and efficient
implementation. To achieve this purpose, there are five key functions to be conducted: (1) GI
planning, (2) Geospatial Data (GD) collection (3) GD processing, (4) Management of GD and GI,
and (5) Presentation of GI.

3.2 Formulation of SKKNI
In KKNI qualification level formulation refers to KKNI and implemented in six sub-areas, namely:
Survey terrestrial, hydrography, Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing, Geographical Information
System (GIS), and Cartography. Certification is implemented to assess the competence of human
resources in those mentioned sub-field. Each sub-field will consist of several qualification levels as
of KKNI, although not all levels are accommodated (Table 3).

3.3 Competence units of SKKNI in GI sector
GI competence units are conceived and formulated with reference to the Regional Model
Competency Standards (RMCS). Key structure in this formulation is a statement of the particular
competency to be attained (unit title), the range of variables pertaining to the context in the which
the competency is to be performed, the specific performance criteria to be met to be deemed
competent, and evidence guides. The code unit follows the codification from Standard Industrial
Classification 2009 version (Table 4).

3.4 Implementation of SKKNI
Legally, SKKNI has established by a regulation from Minister of Manpower and Transmigration
No. 331 of 2013 on the Establishment of the Indonesian National Competence Standard of
Geospatial Information sector. Then, to implement SKKNI, Head of BIG has issued a regulation
No. 9 of 2014 on the Application of SKKNI in Geospatial Information sector (SKKNI-IG). The
latter regulation stipulates that SKKNI-IG applies in national scale, is used as the material of,
neither bilateral nor multilateral, international cooperation and mutual recognition, and is used as a
reference when implementing the certification process in GI sector (Badan Information Geospasial,
2014).
SKKNI-IG has been used as a basis and reference for the management and development of
competency-based of GI human resources HR-IG, which involves:
1. Development of Competency-based Training in GI Sector (PBK-IG)
PBK-IG or better known as the Competency Base Training (CBT) is a type of training,
whose qualification, content, process, assessment, and recognition refer and be oriented to
SKKNI-IG. In this regard, SKKNI-IG is used for formulating training programs, curricula
and syllabus; preparing modules; establishing training methods, criteria and evaluation
materials; as well as other similar uses.
2. Development in the Certification of GI competency
GI Competency Certification is the process of granting certificates of competency in the
field of GI, which is conducted systematically, objectively, accountable, measurable, and
traceable, with reference to the SKKNI-IG. The certification has function to ensure and
maintain competence in accordance with SKKNI. In this regard, SKKNI-IG is used as a
Indonesia's Experience in Developing Geospatial Professional Competency Standards (8172)

FIG Working Week 2016
Recovery from Disaster
Christchurch, New Zealand, May 2–6, 2016
reference in setting goals and test material, methods of appraisal, criteria of graduation test,
and competence certification schemes of GI.
3. Development in Human Resources Management Systems of GI
In order to develop Human Resources Management System with competence-based
approach, SKKNI-IG is used as a reference for recruitment and selection, placement,
competency assessment, career development, both in functional and structural lines.
4. Discussion
KKNI provides national recognition of further education results. KKNI also supports the flexibility
of movement from the training sector i.e. non-formal education or experience into formal education
in job market.
KKNI has strategic roles as the following:
1. Consistently and nationally recognize the output of education and training
2. Integration and correlation between career paths and levels of qualification
3. Give clear directions to each individual to develop competence both in education and training
4. Stimulate the optimization of resources and training
5. Urge national and international recognition for any qualifications developed in Indonesia
The existing used KKNI is the one compiled by Ministry of Education and Culture. Therefore, the
description is too general and only relevant in education sector. It is lacking of technical description
needed by other proposer sectors, which were also contributing in the KKNI making process.
Kemenakertrans is currently promoting an acceleration of KKNI development in every industry
sector so that the qualifications would be more appropriate to apply. The development of specific
KKNI still refers to the description under Perpres No. 8/2012, but it is adapted to the own
qualification characteristics of each sectors. Up to now, KKNI in GI sector has not been yet
established. BIG as a technical institution responsible for GI sector in Indonesia is still in the
progress to establish KKNI in GI sector. This will be a particular obstacle in the process of
accreditation and certification.
Although MEA implementation is approaching, currently there are very limited Certification of
Professions Bodies (LSPs), the bodies that can give professional certification as mandated by IG
Act. The certification bodies are needed because the certificates of competence are not directly
acquired after getting bachelor degree. Therefore, should be considered in the forthcoming times
that any higher education/universities to publish a letter accompanying the diploma as the proof of
graduates competence.
A mandate to conduct professional certification has been enacted since five years ago, but the
implementation of SKKNI-IG still not proceed. Currently, the certification process is operated by
only 2 certification bodies that do not rely on the established SKKNI. Regarding this situation, more
structured actions are required in the form of:
Indonesia's Experience in Developing Geospatial Professional Competency Standards (8172)

Christchurch, New Zealand, May 2–6, 2016
- More massive socialization to all stakeholders in GI sectors, such as universities/higher
education, course and training institutions, professional associations, private
industries/companies, and other sectors related to GI.
- New establishment and development of LSPs, training and competency center. The increasing
number of LSPs will increase the accessibility of certification process that would generate
economy at the sector.
In dealing with MEA, Geospatial Information Agency (BIG) has established a Working Group on
Conformity Assessment (KKPK) that aims to assist conformity assessment in GI sector. According
to the Act No. 20/2014 on Standardization and Conformity Assessment (SPK), any standards that
have been developed and used need to follow the conformity assessment. Conformity assessment
itself is an activity to assess whether human resources, personnel, or instrument meets the standards.
In addition, this assessment can also be used to assess goods, services, systems, and processes that
have met the specified requirements.
KKPK has duty in the scope of discussing, providing consideration and opinion regarding the
implementation of accreditation towards certification bodies, enterprises, and training institutions.
Besides that, KKPK also will provide recommendation regarding the approval and rejection
towards the accreditation results, which will be put in a BIG’s head regulation, and design
documents related to accreditation that aims to guarantee the quality of GI implementation.
5. Development of MRA on Surveying Qualification at ASEAN level
Under AEC framework, ASEAN countries have agreed to form a partnership of trades in goods,
services, investment and so on. In services flow trade, ASEAN has agreed to organize a joint
mechanism for some particular services. For this purpose, a technical consultation amongst ASEAN
countries embodies in the forum of ASEAN Coordinating Committee on Services (CCS). This
forum was established as one of the efforts to create AEC as a stable, prosperous, and competitive
economic region. CCS Forum, in more detail, oversees various mechanisms of cooperation in
services, one of which is to establish a framework called Mutual Recognition Arrangement on
Surveying Qualification (MRA on Surveying Qualification) (Pusat Standardisasi dan Kelembagaan,
2015).
Geospatial Information Agency (BIG) as a competent authority on surveying qualification has been
actively involved in CCS meeting since 2014 at the 77th Meeting in Yangon, Myanmar. At the
meeting, all members reported the latest implementation status of MRA on surveying qualifications,

One top priority issue was the one related to the identification of similarities and differences in the
respective member states about surveying qualification.
However, different definition of surveyor jobs amongst countries became the obstacles and
challenges for realizing MRA. The developments then still very low and as result, MRA on
surveying classification cannot be implemented at ASEAN level unless there is the expanded
definition surveying services in ASEAN. To date, the cooperation agreement amongst country
members was still bilateral, but in the roadmap from the meeting, the recommendation says that
henceforth the cooperation between countries would be in the form of MRA in ASEAN level.
6. Conclusion
Certification as a proof of professional competency in GI sector becomes very important because
besides it has been mandated in GI and Standardization and conformity assessment act, it also be a
need for a free market, especially in the near future to meet MEA. It is necessary to have strategic
and accurate policies to face off and overcome national and global challenges. Implementation
SKKNI-IG is part of an effort to provide recognition of the competence. Certificates of competence
is identical with the recognition of job competence.
There are several advantages of certification or competency standards:
- For workers, as proof of ability and competence
- For employers, as a standard for provisioning jobs that meet the employee qualifications.
- Recognition by wider community, as result of the implementation of a high standard to
assess the competency
- Continuous professional development is an important aspect to ensure that the professionals
keep maintaining their knowledge and skills to deal with increasingly complex tasks.
SKKNI which is now used as a competency standard and surveyor qualification must be developed
in line with industry sector demand and then be harmonized in ASEAN level. BIG as the
responsible institution should see the value in establishing national standard which cover the
broadest possible range of GI practice and committed to regularly reviewing the standard to
maintain continuous improvement in meeting tomorrow’s challenges.
