Abstract
This report presents the results of a pilot
study to apply a recently developed technique for obtaining high-resolution
poverty maps, using data from three provinces in Indonesia: Jakarta, East
Java, and East Kalimantan. The purpose of this
pilot study is to try out the applicability of the poverty mapping method
given the available data in Indonesia and, furthermore, to test the
feasibility of developing a poverty map for the whole country at various
administrative levels (province, district, subdistrict, and village). The
report is consisted of two parts. Part I is a technical report describing
the steps that have been implemented in the exercise and discussions on the
results. Part II presents the results of the exercise in the forms of tables
of poverty and inequality point estimates and standard errors at the
provincial, district, subdistrict, and village levels for the three
provinces. The results indicate that the currently available data in
Indonesia are sufficient to develop a poverty map with reasonable standard
errors, at least for the provincial, district, and subdistrict
levels. Meanwhile, the results for village level need to be used with
caution as the standard errors of the estimates for a large fraction of the
villages are relatively large. Overall, the results appear to support the
extension of the methods application to the rest of the country.

Abstract
This report presents the field verification
results for poverty maps of Jakarta, East Java, and East Kalimantan. The
results show that the poverty maps created in this pilot study have been
successful in ranking regions according to their poverty conditions,
particularly at the district and subdistrict levels. At the village level,
however, the presence of relatively large standard errors of the poverty
rate point estimates in a significant number of villages makes it more
difficult to determine with certainty the ordering of villages by poverty
incidence. This implies that every poverty mapping exercise should attempt
to attain the lowest possible magnitudes of standard errors. However, there
is a practical limit to the effort to reduce the standard errors. Therefore,
one may want to use the poverty mapping results only up to the level where
the standard errors are reasonably acceptable. For this particular study, it
seems that one can use the poverty mapping results down to the subdistrict
level with reasonable confidence.
