Abstract:Forest fires are global phenomena that pose an accelerating threat to ecosystems, affect the population life quality and contribute to climate change. The mapping of fire susceptibility provides proper direction for mitigating measures for these events. However, predicting their occurrence and scope is complicated since many of their causes are related to human practices and climatological variations. To predict fire occurrences, this study applies a fuzzy inference system methodology implemented in R softwar… Show more
