Performance of Fire Risk Estimates Based on Soil Moisture of Selected Peat Land Use

Each peat land used has a different vegetation that will influences peat soil moisture during dry seasons. The level of fire risk depends on peat soil moisture in every land used. The objective of this research was to evaluate the variability of peat soil moisture at different peat land used during dry season and its impact on fire risk The research was carried on peat land with four types of land used located Sub District of Pedamaran, Ogan Komering Ilir District South Sumatera Province was held from June 2018 to July 2018. We investigated soil moisture variability in this site to a depth 30 cm under four type of peat land used during dry season 2018. The result of the research showed that on the second month of the dry season all peat soil to 30 cm depth have soil moisture category moderate fire risk except on secondary forest category at low risk fire. The higher fire risk of the land used the more attention we must focus to prevent the fire.

Dynamics of the multi-stakeholder forum and its effectiveness in promoting sustainable forest fire management practices in South Sumatra, Indonesia

To provide an effective institutional response to frequent forest fires, a multi-stakeholder approach was introduced in the province of South Sumatra, in Indonesia. This study examines in detail the structure, dynamics and effectiveness of a multi-stakeholder forum (MSF) at promoting sustainable forest fire management practices in Ogan Komering Ilir District of South Sumatra. Using factor analysis of multi-variate techniques, we examined those factors underlying the dynamics and effectiveness of the MSF. Four factors were found to contribute positively: (1) intra-forum coordination dynamics, (2) transparency in decision making, (3) collective learning quality, and (4) decentralization within the implementation process. The analysis in this study shows that an MSF can function effectively when these four factors are in place. The study recommends that in view of the persisting fire threat and its trans-boundary implications, the MSF, which was discontinued in 2007, should be reactivated in order to further utilize its already established and proven coordination capacity.

But, there are severval constrainswhich have to be overcome, that is the source of water, where where in the dryseason there are drought and in the rainy season there are fload, the land is notfertile, and produtivity is low. Ogan Komering Ilir (OKI) District have “ Rawa Lebak”land area to a high of 164,034 hectars. In not deep and middle “rawa lebak” typeshave high potensial to be developed irrigation agricultural land trough technologyapplication in water management ang cultivation which can increase theagricultural index to 3 times anually and rice production reach to a high of 7,00tons/ha (dry reap). Therefore, “rawa lebak” can be used as alternative in theagriculture developmen outside Jawa.
