Introduction
I. The roles of geodetic surveyor in Indonesia’s international boundary fixings have formally been recognised since 1969.
II. From only as a boundary map drawer in maritime delimitation and as land border demarcation surveyors.
III. Their current role as boundary engineers, boundary managers and boundary designers, both in land boundaries and maritime boundary delimitations

The Correlation between the Theory of Boundary Making and Indonesian Border Diplomacy
The Technical Aspects of Boundary Making 1. Alocation: technical opinions related to general boundary description maps,
reliable and accurate related data bases for the purpose of negotiations in delimitation process, etc.
2. Delimitation: Boundary definition, Verbal treaty formulation, Treaty map construction, Geodetic datum, etc.
3. Demarcation: treaty interpretation, Border pillars erection, coordinate fixing, watershed mapping, thalweg mapping, offset surveys, border monument reconstruction, Border joint mapping, point positioning, traversing, staking out, minutes plan, different coordinate systems problem-solving, etc.
4. Administration: joint border mapping, frontier area mapping, spatial planning maps, border markers meantenance, and the establisment of boundary data base and information system, etc.

Indonesian Surveyors in Boundary Making
1. The technical issues are the main competence of surveyors.
2. Such as treaty interpretation, border monument erections, coordinat fixing, watershed mapping, thalweg mapping, offset surveys, borderline reconnaissances, joint boundary mapping, point positioning, traversing, staking out, minutes plans, different coordinate systems problem-solving, territorial seas, eez and continental shelfs projections in accordance to relevance legal references.
3. In boundary delimitation, surveyors play a role as boundary engineers which contribute technical suggestion and or support to the chief negotiators.

3. Surveyors also provide: reliable geospatial data (base maps, photogrammetric imageries, satellite emageries, digital terrain model, etc.), land border definition, maritime delienation methods, identification of boundary geographical features elements, method of proportionality principles, boundary dispute setlement, expertise in boundary negotiation.
4. Trusted as the leader in the forums of joint border mapping, frontier area mapping, spatial planning maps, border markers meantenance, border crossing. And also members of joint boundary commission.
