Cases of forest and land fires have become a regular every year during the hot season. West Kalimantan is one of the places prone to forest fires. Geographically, West Kalimantan is largely covered with peat soil, which creates a significant risk of forest fires each year. Using a regional community model, local actors can have a rapid influence on policymaking. Forest fires in West Kalimantan are not a simple problem to solve. Special handlers, it is intended, would collaborate with many stakeholders, most notably the community. The method used in this study is a qualitative method with a literature study design and phenomenology. In qualitative research, the researcher should not influence the situation and social interaction between the researcher and the subject/informant being studied, even between the subjects being studied. The interactions between the individuals under study must occur in the context, not the technical researcher. The government strategies are already in place to address West Kalimantan''s development challenges. West Kalimantan''s development concerns have harmed the physical environment, notably decreased air quality caused by smoke density, which reduces vision. It obstructs transportation by altering the physicochemical and biological qualities of soil, altering the microclimate owing to plant loss, and even contributing to the greenhouse effect on a global scale. Several of the recommended actions for dealing with land fires and the impact of smoke for the prevention and control of land fires may be accomplished by revitalizing the KPA, including boosting community awareness, skills, and competence in fire prevention initiatives.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
