Hubungan Faktor Iklim dengan Kejadian Kebakaran Hutan di KPH Bogor, Perum Perhutani Unit III Jawa Barat dan Banten

Abstract

Forest fire is one of the factors affecting environmental-damage that have been occuring frequently in Indonesia for the last two decades. It is a serious problem that, until today, it cannot be controlled optimally. Climate condition highly affects forest fire occurence, in term of the frequency, magnitude, season, and the effects. Climate factors including temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind, and air stability directly affect the potential of forest fire occurence through fuel availability and fire spread. This research was done to analyze the correlation between climate factors and forest fire occurence in Bogor. The result shows that the correlation between climatic factors and forest fire could be modelled through regression analysis. Based on Pearson‟s Correlation, climate factors that has the strongest correlation with forest fire is monthly rainfall.
