ANALISIS TINGKAT KERAWANAN KEBAKARAN HUTAN DAN LAHAN BERBASIS PENGINDERAAN JAUH DI KECAMATAN KARANG INTAN

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the level of forest and land fire risk based on remote sensing in Karang Intan. The parameters used to analyze the levels of fire risk are land surface temperature, humidity, vegetation cover, distance to roads and distance to settlements. The scale of fire risk is classified into 5 levels of risk, namely: very high, high, medium, low, and very low. The temperature value is obtained by calculating the Land Surface Temperature. The humidity value is obtained from the Normalized Difference Moisture Index (NDMI) calculation, and the vegetation cover value from the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) calculation. The level of fire risk based on the distance to the road and the distance to the settlement was calculated using the Euclidean Distance method. The method used in this study is a survey method which is supported by the overlay analysis of the parameters that have been mentioned. The results showed that in the research location, there were 6,695.23 hectares of areas with a high level of risk, 14,587.81 hectares with a moderate level of risk, 6,695.23 hectares with a low level of risk, and 60.30 hectares with a very low level of risk. During the study there are no areas with with very high risk found. The study showed that the risk is higher on areas with higher temperature and vegetation coverage, and the smaller the distance between a location to the road, the lower the risk level. The location of the settlement does not significantly affect the level of risk to fire. The results of the analysis showed that the distribution of hotspots in areas with high humidity is caused by human factors, which can be seen from the high level of accessibility in those areas with high humidity values.
