Abstract

Forest fire cases become the main issue in Indonesia in the period of 2015-2019. The impacts resulted by the land and forest fires are extraordinary, not only affecting the people of Indonesia, but it has also spread to disrupt the activities of the community in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. The community is also infuriated by the occurrence of forest and land fires continuing from year to year. The public negative opinion is then aimed to the oil palm companies considered as the main cause of the fire occurrence. The community considers that the oil palm companies are still burning in order to clear the land. Therefore, is it true that the oil palm companies are the ones to be responsible for the fire as the community believe and can the strict liability principle be applied if fires occur in their areas?
