Indonesian Small Islands Directory

Indonesian Small Islands Directory (Direktori Pulau-pulau Kecil Indonesia) is a web directory that lists small islands of Indonesia.[1]

Established by 2007 Law 27 (Undang-Undang 27 Tahun 2007), it covers islands up to area of 2,000 km2 and their surrounding marine ecosystem.[2]

The directory is managed by Direktorat Pendayagunaan Pulau-Pulau Kecil, Direktorat Jenderal Pengelolaan Ruang Laut, Kementerian Kelautan dan Perikanan, Republik Indonesia.[3]

The database also is important in quantifying the long term task of verifying how many islands exist in Indonesia. [4][5][6][7][8]

Difficulties in ascertaining information about the smaller islands of the Indonesian archipelago has been a serious long term issue - and the database is part of governmental efforts to verify and determine the issue. [9]
