Minutes of Base Map Selection for Village Boundary Determination

In the process of establishing village boundaries, after the initial collection and research of boundary documents, the next critical step is the selection of a Base Map. According to Permendagri Number 45 of 2016, this selection must be formally documented in the Minutes of Base Map Selection to maintain an official record of the determination process.

The selection typically utilizes the Indonesian Topographic Map (Peta Rupabumi Indonesia) and/or High-Resolution Orthorectified Imagery. The actual boundary drafting is performed through cartometric delineation, which follows these systematic stages:

1. Preparation of the work map;
2. Drawing the village boundary lines on the map;
3. Determining the cartometric coordinate points; and
4. Presentation of the final Village Boundary Determination Map.

The resulting map must be signed by each respective Village Head and witnessed by the Regency/City Village Boundary Determination and Affirmation (PPB Des) Team.

Strategic Significance

Selecting the correct base map is the foundation of spatial accuracy. Using High-Resolution Imagery ensures that the cartometric lines align with actual physical features such as rivers, ridges, or roads. This document acts as the primary evidence in the Siskeudes asset inventory and the Village Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJM Desa) for 2026, ensuring that all planned infrastructure remains within the village’s legal jurisdiction.
