Forest Fires in Peatlands Analyzed from Various Perspectives: Spatial, Temporal, and Spatial-Temporal
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Peatland fires are characterized by the compaction of organic matter below the soil surface. If dry conditions occur, the organic matter can burn, making it difficult to extinguish the fire. This study aims to analyze peatland forest fires with three perspectives, namely temporal, spatial, and spatial-temporal. The data used is the confidence level data of hotspots in forest fires in Kubu Raya Regency, West Kalimantan from January 2014 to December 2023. The methodology used includes collecting fire data from satellite imagery and prepocessing the data. Furthermore, three different data analyzes were carried out, namely temporal, spatial, and spatial-temporal analysis. The results of the study obtained three perspectives, namely from the time period, handling of forest fire cases because they have an impact on the future as seen from the ARIMA model. Regarding spatiality, the distribution of hotspots spread to surrounding areas that were heavily affected by hotspots as seen from the contour map using Kriging interpolation. Finally, regarding spatiality and temporality, forest fire projections show that locations that are close together and have a history of being affected by forest fires have a strong potential for the distribution of forest fire cases as seen from the GSTAR space-time model.
