"It's
better to have just one data source. From the two data sources, each of
which claims the data is accurate, "said Bambang PS. Brodjonegoro,
Minister of National Development Planning / Head of Bappenas in the
Rateknas Head of Regency / City BPS in Yogyakarta, (11/9). Bambang's
presence brought the message that one population data was the answer to
the need for more accurate population data.
"I
strongly agree with one population data. Don't be in the habit of
having multiple versions. Some of these versions have become
alternatives. The problem is that there is no alternative data. This
democratization should not make this data collection or data
verification biased. What I want to build is the spirit to get to one
data, "said Bambang.
According
to Bambang, even if the data is produced by different institutions, it
must be consistent and the data must be representative, accurate, and
meet statistical principles. "Therefore, through the Perpres One Data
and the Draft Perpres on Biological Statistics, in the future, it is
expected that the population data will be one, both based on census data
and from population administration. So we make consistency. After
having a concrete and solid database, the data must always be updated
regularly, consistently and accurately, so we have more accurate
population data, "he said.
Seeing
the concept of an outer space event, Bambang also advised the BPS
staff. "BPS should not only be futuristic in the future, but also in
presenting data. Now is the time for BPS to register itself as an NSA
(National Statistics Agency, ed) that has used massive big data. We
welcome SP2020 as a step towards a population data, for improving the
administration data. This SP product statistics are unique and most
important. Because basic data is widely used for policy formulation.
This is an extraordinary moment, every 10 years. Moreover, this SP will
be carried out by BPS millennials, "he concluded.
