Abstract

The occurrence of forest and land fires in Indonesia has been a critical environmental issue in the South East Asia Region, closely related to the transboundary haze pollution. The government of Indonesia has shifted the fire management paradigm from fire suppression concern to fire prevention priority since 2016. The study aims to systematically review the development of forest and land fire-related policies in Indonesia and to evaluate the use of mobile and web-based applications of The Smart Patrol Information System (SIPP Karhutla) implemented in the Sumatera and Kalimantan regions. We conducted Systematic Literature Reviews to identify the roadmaps of forest and land fire-related policies in Indonesia. Field surveys, questionnaires, and interviews with fire brigades in 7 provinces in the Sumatera and Kalimantan regions to evaluate the use of the SIPP Karhutla. There has been a significant increase of fire-related policies since 2014, which enhance fire management development. The SIPP Karhutla has been widely used in Sumatera and Kalimantan regions. The applications have reduced time for patrol data recording and reporting significantly. Therefore, they supported the fire brigades' patrol activities effectively and efficiently. Keywords: fire management, Smart Patrol Information System, transboundary haze pollution
