Abstract
The vast tropical peat swamp forest in Sabangau, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, makes it difficult for officials to fight forest fires. Forest and tropical peatland fires are recurring events caused by anthropogenic activities around forests. This study aims to provide patterns of forest fires that have occurred over the past 11 years and produce predictive patterns for mitigation planning in 2023 and 2027. The method used is overlay, an analysis method carried out on several maps with mapping software. The results of this study show four factors cause forest fires, namely: The number of canals that penetrate the Sabangau Peat Forest Nature Laboratory of Palangka Raya University, the number of anthropogenic human activities, rainfall that is a small part of El Nino, and the limited ability of Peat Forest Nature Laboratory of Palangka Raya University area managers to maintain groundwater levels above (- 0.33 m). The overlap method stitches several theme maps together to create a new map. It is then geographically processed to describe various events and predictions of each causal factor.
