Tangible Landscape: Simulation of Estimation of Wildfire Spread in Arjuno Mountain Tahura R. Soerjo Region

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution › peer-review

Abstract

Forest fires is a condition in which forests are hit by flames, causing damage of forests and or forest products that cause economic losses and or environmental value. May occur naturally or prescribed, and until now the spread of fire during forests fires has not been predicted with certainty, because there is much variability in fire triggering factors. East Java is a province in Indonesia that often occurs forest fires. One of the forest areas that often occur forest fires in East Java Province is Tahura R. Soerjo area. Moreover, forest fires are one of the most challenging issues handled by Tahura R. Soerjo in managing forest areas. Moreover, until now the technology to overcome the problem of the forest is still very minimal. The Tangible Landscape method can be used to simulate the possibility of spreading a fire that occurs in real-time. By using Tangible Landscape and GRASS GIS, multiple fire simulation scenarios can be performed, and experimenting the determination of making different fire breaks on physical models to evaluate their effectiveness in overcoming the spread of fires.
