Most the community organizing/mapping facilitator in Papua agree that the core of mapping is when all the community in collaboration discuss, draw and maps their territories based on social/anthropology  acknowledgement and bring it to the final common agreement. But mapping it self should not ended in the plain paper but should become the living document for the customary community to works on their land and rights problem.
