I Ketut Sudarsana, Dean of the Faculty of Law at Udayana University, Prof. Dr. Putu Gede Arya Sumerta Yasa, SH., MH, Dr. Jimmy Z. Usfunan, other speakers included the Head of Bongkasa Village, the Indonesian Air Force Head of the Indonesian Air Force Geospatial Center, and the Dean of the Faculty of Economics and Business at IPB University.

In his speech, the Rector of Udayana University, Prof. I Ketut Sudarsana, emphasized that in the era of digital transformation, data quality is the main foundation for planning, budgeting, and evaluating public policies. The challenges faced by regions so far, namely data inconsistencies, have the potential to cause program inaccuracies and reduce public trust in government policies. Meanwhile, Dean of the Faculty of Law at Unud Prof. Putu Gede Arya Sumerta Yasa emphasized that development data has indeed been available, including from Bappenas, but often development targets are inaccurate due to the lack of optimal integration of central and regional data. Inaccurate and scattered data has an impact on policies that are less relevant and less effective, including in the distribution of aid that is not on target, thereby disrupting budget efficiency. Therefore, data integration down to the village level, empowerment of local community groups in data collection, and a focus on village potential are urgent matters.
