<![CDATA[Indonesia’s One Map Policy requires standardized geospatial data down to the village level, yet many rural villages lack high-resolution spatial data and the means to use them. This study examines whether low-cost Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) photogrammetry, combined with participatory GIS (P-GIS) involving village officials, can produce village-scale geospatial data of sufficient geometric quality to serve as a shared reference for local planning and community-based geographical learning in Punten Village, Batu City. A DJI Mavic Pro survey (1,007 images at a flying height of about 120 m) was processed in Agisoft Metashape using nine ground control points (GCPs), and accuracy was tested at 16 independent check points (ICPs), all measured with a handheld GPS receiver, following Indonesian Geospatial Information Agency (BIG) Regulation No. 15 of 2014. Relative to this reference, the orthomosaic achieved a horizontal accuracy (CE90) of 1.347 m (Class 1 at 1:10,000) and the digital elevation model a vertical accuracy (LE90) of 0.611 m (Class 1 at 1:5,000). The products were used to derive administrative boundary, slope, contour, and land cover maps. The results indicate that low-cost UAV mapping can generate data suitable for village-level planning, although absolute accuracy remains bounded by the quality of the ground reference. The study further argues that maps co-produced with village officials can act as place-based learning resources that help residents reason about their territory, a proposition that requires empirical testing.]]>
