23. Conclusions
All Indonesian areas have been mapped at 1:1.000.000 scale and
almost all areas for 1;250.000 . The extent of soil mapping areas
decreased with increasing detail in map scales (i.e., from
reconnaissance to detail maps) in Indonesia
Most of the maps are available in a digital form
Aerial photograph and satellite images (e.g. landsat TM, ALOS,
RADAR) have been a powerful tool and source of information to
be used for mapping of soil information and derivatives' maps
Soil mapping in Indonesia have played a key role in providing
soil information to policy makers (national, provinces, regencies),
private and state companies, research institutions and
Universities.
GSP/GSM activities are an opportunity to share knowledge,
expertise, methodology development and funding among world
soil scientists, in order to provide soil information for wise use
our natural resources
