Mapping of Factors Affecting Land Fires in the Media Frame for Disaster Mitigation in the Future

Abstract

Land fires are national and international disasters that cause crucial environmental problems and are of local and global concern. This research was conducted to determine the mapping of the factors that affect land fires in a media frame that can be used for disaster mitigation so that the impact of fires can be minimized in the future. In addition, with mitigation, it is hoped that fires can be reduced, namely through restoration programs, including wetting, revegetation and community economic revitalization. This study uses time series data from 2012-2021 and uses the framing analysis method and content analysis. The results of the study show that the mapping of factors that affect land fires in the research area from several media from September 2019 to June 2021 is a factor of human activity and natural factors. The dominant human activities causing fires in the research area are land clearing for agriculture and settlements, land preparation, illegal logging, and lack of public awareness of the dangers of fire. The natural factors that dominate causing fires in the research area are the dry season, not residential areas.
