• Technical preparation includes checking the number of map sheet number and scale of the maps are available for the study area. Then do an inventory of map sheet number and do registration for a topographical map sheets which have been scanned or digital data which is already have simple cartographic layout.

• The local team prepared the data which willl be compiled with data from the national team

PREPARATION

Topograhic Map

Toponym Form

• Meeting about geographical names standardization. National teams consisting of Dirjen PUM Kemdagri, Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP), Ditop AD and Bakosurtanal is divided into six groups for doing the validation of geographical names in the region of West Java Province.

• Number of regencies/cities from the Administration Boundary Data (Bakosurtanal) is equal to the number of sub-districts / cities which are validated.

• There are differences in sub-district number between sub-district boundary data and validation result data due to regional growth. For example, number of sub-district in Garut district. In Bakosurtanal administration boundary data, Garut still have 31 sub-district, but from the validation result Garut have 42 sub-district now.

• There are differences of the administration area type between Bakosurtanal's data and validation results. For example, City of Tasikmalaya, some areas was recorded as the desa on map, but from the validation results is found all areas of the city has turned into a kelurahan (because most of kelurahan formerly get into the Tasikmalaya regency).

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS• Geographical name must be standardized because it is a direct access point

and intuitive to other sources of information, which can help to decision making.

• The results of the validation optimally used as input in the change of name in Indonesia for updating topographical map.

• As for suggestions for the next validation, it is necessary to give a note on the validation results (especially on their spatial data) to determine whether changes in the office location caused by displacement from the initial position on a map or other cause.
