Description
Summary:Proper weather observation is definitely required to obtain the right and accurate weather information. Currently the weather observation in Indonesia is managed by various parties and coordinated by the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG). BMKG manage weather observation networks that distributed nationwide. Unfortunately, in terms of quantity and distribution, the current weather observation network is not ideal yet. Increasing the density of the weather observation network is undoubtly needed, therefore BMKG needs to develop a partnership with all parties including general public. This study attempts to identify level of participation of general public and find the ideal partnership model for weather observation in Indonesia. Three partnership variables, namely motivation, consistency and sustainability, examined in this study. As a result of the data analysis it was found that the level of participation of general public is very high especially in the participant group that threat with guidance. And it was also found that the crowdsourcing method can be implemented as an ideal partnership model between BMKG and general public in the field of weather observation.
