Citizen-centric Tool for Near Real-Time Mapping of Active Forest Fires

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: In this study, a mobile app is presented as a citizencentric geospatial solution to record real-time forest fire incidents.This tool fetches accurate geographical coordinates and captures forest fire images, along with relevant fields related to the event such as cause of fire, fire type, species affected, etc. in both online and offline mode.The background, application foundation, system design and main features are also described.Evaluation of robustness of the application and a case study are presented to show the potential use of this participatory sensing-based geospatial tool.
