Abstract:
TheprovinceofEastKalimantanisofficiallydesignatedastheStateCapitalbecausetheareahastheleastriskofdisaster,even though it cannot be separated from disasters such as forest and land fires. This study aims to determine the spatial pattern of hotspots using SNPP-VIIRS for monitoring potential fires. The research used the descriptive-analytic method to identify the research area and collect secondary data. Secondary data is spatial and nonspatial data consisting of hotspot data from the recordingoftheSNPP-VIIRSimage,includingfrequencyanddistributionofhotspots.Thedatausagefrom2012–2021using SNPP-VIIRS morning and evening recordings. The study results show that the spatial pattern of potential hotspots in the capitalcityofanewcountryisquitevaried.ThespatialpatternofhotspotsshowsthatKutaiKartanegaraRegencyasoneofthe locations for the new State Capital, has the highest number of hotspots, namely 38,970 with the highest accuracy in East Kalimantan Province, namely, 1,616 (low), 36,253 (nominal), and 1,101 (high). The potential for fire disasters in Kutai Kartanegara Regency as an IKN location is high, so planning is urgently needed for future fire prevention, mitigation, and prevention strategies. The spatial pattern of hotspots is known, so it can be used to monitor potential fires and minimize fire occurrences.
