INTRODUCTION
Since the first largest forest fire destroyed approximately 3 million Ha of East Kalimantan
Forest in 1982/83, the fires had been raised to global attention as environmental and
economic issues. The fires had caused direct effect on ecosystems, particularly on their
contribution to carbon emissions and their impact on biodiversity. During the 1997/98
ENSO, up to 25 million hectares of land worldwide were affected by fire. The areas
affected by fire in 1997/98 are approximately 11.7 million hectares. Indonesia had the
most severe fires in the world with similar problem with the ENSO in 2002. During these
fires, the forest degradation and deforestation due to fire had caused economic cost in the
range of USD 1.6~2.7 billion. The cost of smoke haze pollution was in the range of USD
674~799 million.
During 2003, approximately 34,655 hotspots were detected. These hotspots were spread
out to almost whole islands in the country. The largest number of hotspots were found in
Central Kalimantan Province (7341), and then followed by Riau Province (5380), West
Kalimantan Province (4860), and South Sumatra Province (3367). Almost no hotspot was
found in Bali, NTT, North Maluku and Papua (hotspot less than 10). Up to the present, the
rate of forest fire damage are ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 million hectares per year. As
reported by JICA Project in 2002, the months having frequent hot spot findings are starting
from July to November then continuously decrease from December to May of the
following year. As described in Figures 1 ~ 5, large amount of hotspot in Central
Kalimantan commonly occurred between July and October.
To reduce the forest fire disaster as well as to prevent and control forest fire, the Ministry
of Forestry of Indonesia (MoF) developed collaboration with some International Donor
Countries such as JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency), European Union (EU)
and the Government of Germany (GTZ) for establishing an early detection system using
NOAA AVHHR satellite imagery. The data obtained from NOAA are mainly used for
detecting hot spot and or smoke/haze coverage. The hot spots derived from NOAA
AVHRR are mainly used as a component of early detection system. The hot spot is an
early indication of forest fire occurrence. The hot spot recorded as one pixel is not
absolutely fire, but it express the temperature that relatively higher than its surrounding
pixels (areas). The temperature detected are ranging from 310oK (37
oC) in the night and
315oK (42
oC) in the daytime. The geographical coordinates of the hotspots are recorded by
the system then sent to the MoF and forest manager. The same hotspot that continuously
recorded more than 3 day respectively would be predicted as fire.
Up to now, although the forest fire occurrence are getting worsen, we have no information
yet regarding forest fire prone area. That is why, the development of integrated forest fire
sensitive zoning by taking into consideration the human and biophysical factors is needed.
Wild fire may occur in any vegetation cover type when conditions are favorable for
burning. However, every fire need some spark or flame to start it.

Wildfire Vulnerability index - 2
In this report, the authors develops forest fire models that pertain to the first phase of fire
management, i.e., pre-fire planning (fire risk models) through developing wildfire
vulnerability index. This index is needed for during program development for forest fire
prevention and suppression. At the beginning of any fire protection works it is important to
establish the source of sparks of flames which under favourable condition could start a
forest fire. The fire prevention is one of the most important functions of the fire control
service. Prevention activities are very often the most economical way of reducing firedamage and losses. Fire prevention can be started without any expensive equipment.
One part of forest fire prevention planning is to make an analysis of the fire risk and causes.
The various types of risks and hazards in the area should be considered in a wildfire
prevention analysis. In organizing wildfire prevention in particular area, one must first
know what the usual causes of fire are, and the risk and hazard involved. Risk is defined
as the chance of fire starting from one cause or another such as people, lighting, electricity
etc. While, hazard is the fuel complex by type, arrangement, volume, condition and
location that forms a special threat of ignition or difficulty in suppression (Heikkila,
Gronqvist and Jurvelius, 1993). Area covered with grass, brush and forest fuels are
examples of hazards.
In fire prevention programs, it would be helpful if the organizer can make a summary of
the main problems, such as what are the main causes of wildfire, location of very risk area,
location of the area that should be protected and what are the main objective and method
for fire protection. General guideline of a wild fire prevention plan may include basic
data and information that consisted of fire occurrence map, fire statistics graph, fire risk
area map, hazards area map and forest operation map.
Forest fire risk may be considered at different spatial and temporal resolutions: global and
local; short-term and long-term; These forest fire risks are very important in forest and
land fire management. Comprehensive consideration for forest fire risk implies taking
into account a wide range of variables. Chuvieco and Falas (1999) distinguished between
the concept of risk associated to the beginning of a fire (fire ignition risk or flammability)and the spreading of active fire (fire behaviour risk or fire hazard).
The fire suppression (fire behavior models) and post-fire evaluation (fire effects and
economics models) are the remaining models that did not describe in this study. In each
case, different variables and different risk weight should be considered. In this study, the
model considers variables that related to fuel type such as land cover type, soil type
(peat/non-peat) and source of fire from human activities such as land use (and land status)
and proximity (distance from streams/rivers, road, villages and city). The concern here is
the development of wildfire vulnerability for estimating the frequency of a forest fire
taking place at a particular location and time as a function of explanatory variables. In this
study, the authors used hotspot data as variable that express the frequency of fire
occurrence. Forest fire risk zones are locations where a fire is likely to start, and fromwhere it can easily spread to other areas. This fire risk zone map, furthermore, can be used
to make a precise evaluation of forest fire problems and decision on solutions. Recently,
most application of GIS to forest fire risk mapping have been developed at the local and
global level. In this study, the study area cover a relatively wide area (Kalimantan Tengah
Province) at medium resolution (500 m grid size).

Objective
The study objective is to:
Develop a forest fire vulnerability index in Central Kalimantan To identify the explanatory variables that contributes forest fire prone significantly. To develop a reliable technique to detect post-fire condition using remote sensing data
METHODS
Study Area
The study was carried out in Central Kalimantan Province, Indonesia that represents a wide
variety of forest cover, forest type and socio-economics conditions (accessibility) of the
area. The study was focused to analyze the fire occurred from 2000 to 2004. Howeversince the land cover data used in this study was made based on the satellite data that
acquired in 2001/2002, vulnerability index model was developed using the hotspot
acquired in 2003 (particularly that recorded in October)
Supporting Data
To support the analysis, the data used in this study include digital forms of:
a. Administrative border map,b. Villages and cities center mapc. Road networksd. Stream or riverse. Land coverf. Land use (status)g. Land systemh. Soil typei. Hotspots coordinate.Software and Hardware
The main software that used to perform the study are ERDAS IMAGINE ver. 8.7., ArcView
GIS ver.3.2., and statistical software SPSS. All of the analyses were performed using
personal computer, digitizer, scanner and printer. To get ground truth condition, we use
GPS, Hagameter, phiband and, Spiegel Relascope
A long-term statistic of fire occurrence, predicted with hotspot (HS) may help in
developing forest fire risk (see Figures 1 ~ 5). Although the hot spot data are not
absolutely fire, however, the hotspot data are closely related to forest and land fire

occurrence and smoke fog. Therefore, these data could be used to develop wildfire risk
map that then referred to as fire vulnerability map. Syaufina et al. (2004) mentioned that
prevention activities should be performed before water deficit starting to occur in the area
(before January) and during the dry season (May September).,

Study methods
The study method includes the following steps:
1. Data pre-processing that includes image rectification, registration and geo-referencingand data cropping
2. Data Processing that includes hotspot density computation (spatial analysis), andspatial operation (identity, intersect and buffering). Assuming that each hotspot (HS)
was resampled to represent an area of 1 km x 1 km, the radius for computing the HD
will be optimally interpolated using 2-km radius. In this study, the Hotspot density
(HD) was computed using Kernel method with 2-km radius. To provide information
that is more precise the cell size during the HD development is 500 m x 500 m. .
The Data hotspot derived from several agencies such as JICA, EU and GTZ then
uploaded to the GIS software. In this GIS software, the hotspots are then spatiallyanalyzed providing the hotspot density (number of hot spot per squared kilometer;
HS/sq km). Furthermore, the hotspot densities were used to develop mathematical
model expressing the area vulnerability.

3. Identification of Explanatory variables. Among various variables that may affect theforest fire intensity, the study identifies some variables that relevant to each study site.
The followings are the variables that used for each study area:
(a)Proximity from village center (X1)(b)Distance from road network (X2)(c)Distance from stream or river networks (X3)(d)Distance from city centers (X4)(e)Land use/status (X5)(f) Land cover (X6)(g)Soil type (X7)(h)Land system (X8)All fires are the result of chemical process that occur when fuel, heat and oxygen
are brought together in the necessary combination that support combustion. In a forest,
there is abundance of fuel and air (oxygen) always present. The fire can be put out, if
we can eliminate one of these three variables. Thus, fuel and heat would be the most
important factors that should be considered in affecting wildfire. As mentioned above,
variables X1 ~ X4 are mostly related to a source of ignition, while X6 and X7 are
related to fuel. Some of the sources of the heat which may cause forest or land fire are
flames (e.g. match), ember (e.g. cigar), electrical sparks from man made sources,
lighting, and friction (e.g., forest machines, trains etc).
4. Development of classes for each variablesThe factors and variable-classes considered in the study are shown in Table 1.

5. Weight DeterminationThe method used to determine weight of each variable is Composite Mapping Analysis
(CMA). This method had been successfully implemented in several research conducted
previously in East Kalimantan, Riau and West Kalimantan (Boonyanuphap et al, 2001;
Purnama and Jaya, 2007). In this study, the relationship between hotspot density and
wildfire risk factors were analyzed to derive a vulnerability scores. The variables that have
close correlations were selected then composed to develop linear multiple regression. The
weight of each factor is the proportion (ratio) of each coefficient of regression to the total
of all coefficients of the regression
6. Score developmenta. Actual score (SC)The actual score of each sub-factor is computed as follows:

Where
Xi is score for each factor;
Oi is the number of hotspot that observed in each class (observed hotspot);
Ei is the number of hotspot that expected to be found in each class (expected
hotspot),
T is the total hotspot;
F is the percentage of area in each sub-factor

b. Estimated score (ES)Computing the score estimate (ESC). The actual scores (SC) obtained are usually in
irregular pattern. Thus, to smooth out the score systematically, the authors evaluate
the relationship between the class of each variables and hotspot density. The
estimate of scores (estimated scores) were derived using the regression equationmodel developed.
c. Rescaled Score (RSC)Since the developed vulnerability index was composed using several variables
having different unit and different scale, it is needed to standardize the score of
each variables. The standardization of each score was done by rescaling the range
of estimated score into the range between 10 to 100. The rescaling was done using
the following formula:
( ) MinRMinRMaxREMaxE
EinputE

Where:
ScoreR.out = Output of Rescaled score that would have values ranging from
ScoreR.min andScore.R.Max.
Score E.input = Score derived using regression line (estimated score)
Score E.Min = minimum value of estimated score
Score E.Max = maximum value of estimated score
If the Score R.min and score R.max are set to have a range between 10 and 100, the
rescaling equation can be simplified into Equation 4

7. Vulnerability classesIn this study, the vulnerability classes were developed using the spatial resolution of
the hotspot having size 1 km x 1 km. Theoretically, during dry season when wildfire
occurred, one hotspot will rapidly spread within the radius of 1 km. This means that
the very high risk area will be within radius 1 km representing the area of
approximately 3.141 km2. In this case, the hotspot density would be 0.3183. Within
the radius from zero to 0.5 km, which is represent the area of 0.196 sq km, the author
categorize it into extremely high risk, while from the radius of 0.5 km to 1 km is
referred to as very high risk. Farther distance from fire center would have lower

risky areas. Comprehensively, the authors classify the vulnerability classes into five
classes as described in Table1. Based on the weights derived from the CMA method,
the spatial distribution of forest fire prone can be developed.

8. Model verificationModel verification was done to evaluate the coincidence between vulnerability score and
fire incidence (HD). A number of verification plots having size 0.1 Ha 1 km x 1 km were
selected randomly and represent all forest and land fire risk classes (low, medium and high
risks). The map that used as reference is hotspot density map that derived from
selected/available hotspot information.
In this study, sample area representing all vulnerability classes were selected. The map
representing vulnerability values and HD were then superimposed Coincidence was
evaluated by examining the correlation between vulnerability score and HD.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
A. Spatial Distribution of Hotspot Density
Forest fire vulnerability map was created based upon hotspot distribution occurred in
Central Kalimantan Province, particularly in the months which has densest hotpot density.Since we used the land cover digital map that published in 2003 (which probably
developed from 2001/2002 satellite data), then the hotspot we used was the hotspot that
recorded in 2002, particularly in September 2002 (see Fig 6). From this hotspot data, the
hotspot density was derived using Kernel method having radius 2 km and 500 m cell size.
As shown in Figure 7, the dense hot spot having more than 0.5 hotspot per km2 are found
in Seruyan, Kota Waringin Timur and Pulang Pisau Regencies as well as in Palangkaraya
City. The data also show that denser hotspot commonly found in peat land areas. For
Comparison purposes, the hotspot distribution recorded in September 2004 and its spatial
density are depicted in Figures 8 and 9.

B. Hotspot Density Evaluation
As mentioned previously, since the land cover data that used in the study was published in
2003 and probably made from satellite image acquired in 2001/2002, and then the hotspot
data that analyzed for score development are the hotspots, which recorded in October 2002.This study considers 8 (eight) factors or variables that affect the forest fire vulnerability,
i.e., distance from surrounding villages (X1), distance from road (X2), distance from
stream/rivers (X3), distance from surrounding cities (X4), land status or land use (X5),
land cover (X6), soil type (X6) and land system (X7). The following are the analysis
results of each variable.

Between the ranges from 1 km to 40 km, there is significant relationship between hotspot
density (HD) and distance from village center. With polynomial form, 82% variation ofdistance from village center will affect the variation in HD. In Figure 10, shows that
between the buffer range of 0 to 9 km from the village centers, the HD tend to decrease
when the distance getting closer. Within this buffer zone, the local people may control the
fire occurrence. Inversely, in the area of the village buffer located further than 9 km, the
HD tend to increase as the distance become closer. For the analysis, the HD distribution
was cut off at the buffer 7 km (Figure 11).
By using polynomial order 3 equation, the correlation between HD and distances from
village center are very close having coefficient of determination of 88.25%.

2. Distance from road networksSimilar to the HD from the village centers, the HD had systematical distribution form in
relationship with the distance from the road networks. In the range between 1 and 7 km,
local people may control the fire occurrence (see Figure 12). Thus for the vulnerability
analysis, the distribution of the HD was cut in the buffer of 7 km (see Figure 13). By
using the equation of polynomial order 3, the coefficient determination provided is 85%.

3. Distance from rivers/streamsIn relation with the stream/rivers buffers, the HD distribution shows very systematic
pattern. Densest HDs were found in the river buffer of 1 km to 6 km having HD of
approximately 0.17 ~ 0.2 HS/km2. The HD gradually decreased as the distance increase.
From the buffer 10 km and more the HD is relatively constant (see Table 5 and Figure 14).
The polynomial equation provide 95% of coefficient of determination.

As described in Figure 15, the occurrence of HS also decrease in the range of 1 to 10 km
buffer distance from the surrounding city centers. It seems that the government authority
successfully control the fire in surrounding cities, particularly in the distance less than 13
km. In this case, the analysis of HD for wildfire analysis use the buffer of more than 10
km as shown in Figure 16. Statistical analysis shows that between the ranges of 10 km to
more than 55 km, the HD density increase as the distance getting closer

5. Land useAS tabulated in Table 7 and Figure 17. The very dense HS of approximately 0.72/ km2 is
found in area that determined as timber estate. The lowest HD is found in the area
devoted as forest protection and conservation. This condition is very logic if land
preparation for establishing timber estate uses fire as major tool for land clearing.

Table 8 shows that the hot spot density in peat areas is higher than in non-peat areas. As
described by Syaufina et al. (2004), peat area is a fragile ecosystem. When the peat forest
is cleared, the exposed peat will dry out quickly and easily ignited.
7. LandoverBeside weather and topography, fuel is one of the major factors, which influence fire
behavior. It is important to be familiar with certain properties and characteristics of the
fuels, which can include size of fuel, fuel arrangement, volume fuel, fuel type and fuel
pattern and condition. The size of fuel has an important role in determining the rate of
combustion of the fuel.
Based on the vegetation cover, the highest number of hotspot density is found in shrubs,
and then followed by dry land paddy field (lading) and lowland forest. During dry season,
dried matter of shrubs vegetation is sensitively combustible. In this coverage, the hotspot
density is approximately 0.30 HS/km2. As we all may aware, shrubs have large amount
of light (fine) fuels such as leaves, grass, small branches, twigs etc. This fuel needs very
little heat to reach ignition temperature. Once the grass begins to burn, it will burn very
quickly. Shrubs are frequently called to as fast-burning fuels.
In dry land paddy field (ladang), the human factor seem to have significant role. In this
land cover or land use, people use fire for land preparation. Thus, medium to small
branches, twigs, leaves are there. This land cover occupies the second largest hot spot
density.
In lowland forest area, usually has large amount of heavy (coarse) fuel such as logs,
stumps and standing trees. These fuels need more heat to reach ignition temperature in
comparison with the light fuel. The heavy fuels are also referred to as being slow-burning
fuels.

deeper peat having HD more than 0.21. During the dry season (July to October), these
land system areas have large amount of combustible materials Dried peat either in
shallow and deeper peat areas are very easy to be ignited (se Table 10 and Figure 19)

C. Score DevelopmentBase on the HD and variable data described previously, the actual score (SC), estimated
score (ESC) and rescaled score (RSC) were calculated and summarized in Table 11 ~ 18.
The actual score was computed using the ratio observed and expected hotspot, while the
estimated score was computed using the regression model derived from each variable. The
rescaled score was computed using the Equation 3.

D. Score Verification of score using hotspot densityTo evaluate the coincidence between the vulnerability score and fire occurrence (HD), the
authors randomly select 999 polygons that cover all vulnerability classes and HD. By
evaluating the correlation between HD and score of each variable, the authors then select
the factors that potentially affect the wildfire risk. The selection was based upon the
value of the R2
(coefficient of determination). From Figures 27 to 33, the best coincidence
is given by village distance score (622%), followed by road distance (41.2%) and land
cover (39.8%). Base on this fact, the authors then evaluated the relationship between HD
and these three variables simultaneously (with multiple regression). As shown in Figure34, it is found that R2
is about 66.6%. Thus, vulnerability map was developed using this
three variables.

9. Hotspot density versus Composite Score of (Village, Road and Land Cover)a. The composite score of village distance, road distance and land cover (Z1)
As mentioned previously, three variables, i.e. distance from village, distance from road and
land cover show potential correlation with the HD. Thus, by using multiple linear
regressions the weight for each variable are as follows:
Table 19. Weight of variable village distance, road distance and land cover
Variables Coefficients*) Weight
Village distance (X1) 0.014379625 0.35467
Road distance (X2) 0.006645865 0.16392
Land cover (X6) 0.019517849 0.48141
*) The constant (elevation) of the regression equation is ignored during calculating weight
for each variable, since the variation of the value of independent variable is influenced by
the only coefficient of regression. The best correlation between HD and Z1 is given by
the power model having R2
of 66.57%
By using the weight of each factor, the composite score obtained from the use of villagedistance, road distance and land cover was computed. The correlation between this
composite score with their corresponding HD is depicted in Figure 35.

b. The composite score of village distance, road distance, river/stream distance, landcover and soil type (Z2)
c. For comparison and comprehensive analysis, the author also performed correlationanalysis between HD and the composite score of village distance, road distance,
river/stream distance, land cover and soil type (Z2). This is intended to figure out
the role of each variable on creating vulnerability score. Using the multiple linearregression, the weight of each variable considered are tabulated in Table 20. The
prediction line of this multiple regression is drawn in Figure 36.

Based on the randomly sampled 999 polygons evaluated, the study found very close
correlation having about 69% of R2. The model that used to classify the vulnerability score
classes is as follows:
HD = 0.00000002407 Z14.115357533
Where Z1 is the composite score derived from village distance, road distance and land
cover
By adopting Table 2, the score for each vulnerability classes is tabulated in Table 21. The
graph that convert the vulnerability score into HD is depicted in Figure 37. The map that
expresses the vulnerability risk based on this classes is shown in Figure 39.

Where Z2 is the composite score derived from village distance, road distance, stream
distance, land cover and soil type. The vulnerability classes and their corresponding HD
and radius from the fire center is described in Table 22 and Figure 38. The vulnerability
map using this classes is described in Figure 40.

F. Model Verification:
Using two-sample means test, between the actual HD and predicted HD based on the
composite values of Z1 and Z2, the study found the following:
a) No difference was found between the actual HD and predicted HD based either onZ1 or on Z2. These mean that the vulnerability model provide good estimation
using only village proximity, road distance and land cover
b) Land cover contribute 48% on the risk (vulnerability) classes, while the road andvillage proximity give 52%. This describe that the amount of fuel, type of fuel, fuel
arrangement and human activities in surrounding villages and roads significantly
determine the risky areas.
c) Using the model with only 3 variables (village, road and land cover), thecoincidence value (also called model accuracy) of the model verification between
actual and predicted HD is only 55.95% . Using 5 variables (village, road, city, soil
type and land cover), the accuracy is slightly increased, i.e., 56.36%. This slightly
low accuracy is caused by confusion among the low, medium and high risk areas.d) To increase the model accuracy, the classes with contribute more confusion ( the low,
medium and high risk) are then merged into only one class. The merged class is
called as low/medium/high risk). Therefore, the final class with 3 classes provide
model accuracy of 65.27% and 66.07% for 3 and 5 variables respectively. The
accuracy of the model is summarized in Table 23. The final maps that express the
vulnerability using 3 and 5 variables are shown in Figures 41 and 42.

As shown in Figure 41, the major parts of the areas of Central Kalimantan Province are
belonging to extremely and very high risk classes. The very high risk areas almost found
in all regencies. However, the extremely risk areas area are mostly found in Pulang Pisau
and Kapuas Regencies. A scattered extremely areas are also exist in Lamandau,
Palangkaraya,Barito Selatan and Barito Utara Regencies.
CONCLUDING REMARKS
From the foregoing discussion, the authors can conclude the following:
1. There are systematical relationship between human activity factors (accessibility &proximity) and the occurrence of the wildfire.
2. Of the 8 variables examined, the major factors that affect the wildfire risk in CentralKalimantan Province are proximity of village, proximity of road, proximity of city,
soil type and land cover.
3. The wildfire risk maps established using all 5 significant variables and 3 variables(village, road and land cover) are not significantly different. Therefore, using only 3variables vulnerability could be developed.
4. Using the model with only 3 variables (village, road and land cover) with 3vulnerability classes, the model accuracy is approximately 65%. Using all 5 significant
variables, the model accuracy is not significantly increased having only 1% higher than
using 3 variables.
5. Human factors (village distance and road distance) contribute approximately 52% tothe wildfire, while the rest of about 48% is contributed by land cover.
6. The major parts of the areas of Central Kalimantan Province are belonging toextremely and very high risk classes. The very high risk areas almost found in all
regencies. The extremely risk areas area are mostly found in Pulang Pisau and Kapuas
Regencies.
7. Since the wildfire risk model had very strong relationship with the human activities,this vulnerability map may be used as a tool during forest and land-fire prevention
programs.
