Forest Fire Mapping using Normalized Burned Ratio and Cloud Computing to Calculate the Losses Incurred in Mount Lawu, Magetan Regency

Forest and land fires in Indonesia are one of the most common disasters. Over time, Indonesia's forests have experienced a decline, one of which is the result of forest and land fires. Forest and land fires can occur due to temperatures in the dry season that continue to increase. Utilization of remote sensing technology can be used for mapping forest and fire areas, and can also be used as a reference for the government to carry out reforestation or reforestation processes in fire areas. The use of Multispectral Sensors in Sentinel 2 satellite imagery can be used to produce this research. This research takes a case study on Mount Lawu, Magetan Regency. Mount Lawu is one of the climbing tourist destinations that almost every year experiences forest and land fires. And the use of the Google Earth Engine platform that supports cloud computing to facilitate this research in accessing high data sources to process large geospatial data sets. For processing satellite images using the Normalized Burned Ratio (NBR) vegetation index processing algorithm. This research was conducted in 2018 and 2019. By using the Random Forest method, which is one of the applications of Machine Learning, it will produce several accurate results from the calculation results. The results of the calculation of the area of fire in 2018 were 284.88 hectares with a total loss of Rp 42,732,000.00 and in 2019 it was 146.03 hectares with a total loss of Rp 21,904,500. The results of this study are displayed on GEE Apps so that users can directly access the resulting data.
