Potential Analysis Of Peatland Fire In Ogan Komering Ilir District

Siti Muslikah, Yuliani Yuliani

Abstract


Based on data from CIFOR (Center for International Forestry Research), there are 3 million hectares of wetlands in South Sumatra, with an area of 1.73 million hectares of peatland. Around 796,000 hectares of peatland are located in the district of Ogan Komering Ilir. Almost every year peatland fires occur in this area. Therefore, it is necessary to mitigate the disaster of peatland fires by analyzing the potential level of vulnerability to peatland fires in Ogan Komering Ilir Regency. There are five sub-districts that are sampled in this study, namely Kayuagung, Tulung Selapan,  Pedamaran Timur, Pangkalan Lampan, and Pedamaran District. The parameters reviewed were based on the type of land cover, the maturity level of the peatlands, and the water level of the peat soil. In addition, the potential for peatland fires is seen from the intensity of rainfall. Because the potential for peatland fires is higher if they occur during the dry season where rainfall intensity is low or during dry months. The results showed the potential for peatland fires based on the characteristics of peatlands in Ogan Komering Ilir Regency has a moderate to high level. While the analysis is based on the intensity of rainfall, the potential for peatland fires from July to November which is a dry month with rainfall intensity < 100mm. .
