Scenario
Agriculture Field Survey SystemMobile GIS
Indonesia is an emerging country in Southeast Asia. Its
agriculture production annually contributes to 15% of GDP,
and the farm labor accounts for up to 43% employment of
Indonesian economy. To improve the agricultural development,
Indonesia government injects more than 7 million US dollars
annually to provide diverse grant-in-aid projects, and Ministry
of Agricultural Republic of Indonesia (MoA) also gives
assistances including funding, seeds, insecticide, etc, based
on farmland size and the type of crops.
To utilize agriculture-related funding effectively, report the real and current situation of
farmland and crops, and avoid faulty spending or unnecessary waste, MoA of
Indonesian government decided to replace paper-based and artificial work with GIS
technologies to scientifically and objectively record farmland size, the type of crops,
and so forth. Hence, MoA can efficiently spend funding and centrally manage the
relevant information of farmland in the country.
Agriculture Field Survey System contains customized Server GIS, Desktop GIS and
Mobile GIS.
1. Server GIS:
Adopting SuperGIS Server 3.1a as service server, the Server GIS is capable of centrally
managing, publishing vector data and raster data of each province so that users can
employ various front-end applications to view, query and edit the map. To make sure the
data accuracy, the newest field survey result surveyed by farmers in the country can be
uploaded to SuperGIS Server 3.1a through the Internet as well.
2. Desktop GIS:
SuperGIS Desktop 3.1a helps MoA integrate diverse types of spatial data and save these
files as projects that can be published as map services by SuperGIS Server 3.1a. In
addition, SuperGIS Desktop 3.1a also supports various spatial databases that would not
only have data sharing more convenient, but also support multi-user online accessing and
editing the data.
Goals
To precisely record and manage the relevant information of each farmland, such as the
real farmland area measurement, the type of crops, and so on, MoA needs a GIS
solution of Agriculture Field Survey System integrating with spatial data collection
function on mobile devices, editing and analysis function on desktop side, and spatial
data management on server side.
Farmers from each province are allowed to use mobile GIS and GPS function to record
farmland area and also enter attributes and take pictures to record the crops in the farm.
The collected data can be sent to the server of MoA and be managed centrally. Thereby,
the personnel in MoA can comprehend the authentic situation of farmland, like size, crop
type, etc with the database and the website.

3. Mobile GIS:
Agriculture Field Survey System adopts
SuperPad 3.1 as the core and integrates
local users’ using behavior with
geographic features. The system is
capable of assisting farmers in collecting,
editing and measuring the spatial data in
fields directly.
What users need to do is load the required data to SuperPad 3.1 through the Internet,
and upload the newest survey result to server after accomplishing data collection.
Goals
Solutions
- To precisely record and manage relevant information of every farmland, what MoA needs is a
GIS solution of Agriculture Field Survey System integrating with spatial data collection on mobile
device, editing and analysis on desktop, and spatial data management on server.
To enable inspectors to definitely comprehensive the newest information of hillside condition in
every region, Geotechnical Engineering Office, Public Works Department, Taipei City Government
decided to build “Taipei Hillside Remote Sensing Management System for Reporting and
Querying” consisting of “Reporting System” and “Field Investigation Management System.”

Results
SuperGIS Desktop 3.1a supports
Agriculture Field Survey System is primarily composed of Mobile GIS (SuperPad 3.1),
Desktop GIS (SuperGIS Desktop 3.1a), and Server GIS (SuperGIS Server 3.1a). These
3 products are respectively customized at different levels to match project requirements
and help Indonesian local users to manipulate more easily.
The collected data can be synchronized
with the data in SuperGIS Server 3.1.
1. Mobile GIS－Agriculture Field Survey System:
To facilitate manipulation for Indonesian users, this project
customized SuperPad 3.1 as Indonesia Agriculture Field
Survey System. In addition to spatial data overlaying,
feature and attribute data adding and editing, the system
provides customized items such as Indonesian user
interface, splash for MoA, frequently used tools, etc.
Besides, the system provides built-in Indonesian coordinate
system and removes non-used ones to simplify the user
interface. For local users, the system helps them enhance
the efficiency of data collection significantly.
Over the Internet, farmers in Indonesia can load the
required map data from SuperGIS Server 3.1a and display
in Agriculture Field Survey System and conduct tasks in
fields directly, including GPS positioning, spatial data and
attribute data collection, measurement, etc. After the field
survey is accomplished, the newest data can be uploaded
to synchronize the data in SuperGIS Server 3.1a through
the Internet as well.
Users can enter attributes and take
pictures to record the status of the farm.
2. Desktop GIS－SuperGIS Desktop 3.1a:
In this project, SuperGIS Desktop 3.1a is customized as
SuperGIS Desktop for Indonesia, providing Indonesian
interface and the custom splash for MoA.
MoA adopts SuperGIS Desktop 3.1a to integrate vast amount of spatial data of every
province and save these data as project that can be published as map service by
SuperGIS Server 3.1. Additionally,
various spatial databases including
Personal Geodatabase (mdb), SQL
Server, and Oracle Spatial. It not only
facilitates resource sharing and
interoperability, but also supports
Custommized Desktop GIS

3. Server GIS－SuperGIS Server 3.1a:
managing and publishing vector data and raster data of each province. Therefore, users
can employ various front-end applications, like SuperPad, SuperGIS Desktop, browsers,
etc to view, query, and edit the map.
To make sure the data accuracy, the
newest field survey result collected by
farmers can be uploaded to SuperGIS
Server 3.1a through the Internet.
Consequently, SuperGIS Server 3.1a

and manage all the data centrally.
Cloud GIS solution of Agriculture Field Survey System provides MoA with a full-function
platform that integrates farmland survey, data synchronization, spatial data management and
sharing, etc. Through Agriculture Field Survey System (SuperPad), the farmland size in
every district can be recorded scientifically and objectively, and the relevant information can
be the references for MoA to decide the subsidy. Besides, with SuperGIS Desktop 3.1a, the
spatial data are integrated effectively, and the data can be shared through Geodatabase.
Moreover, the data are centrally managed in SuperGIS Server 3.1a that significantly reduces
the cost of data copy and storage and leverages task performance.
