“…After conducting the network analyses, the service coverage of the fire brigade posts improved significantly from 40.7% (scenario 1) to 63.4% (scenario 4) (Table 2) as the result of additional fire brigade posts. Hence, network analyses may assist the development of various simulations for improving service coverage areas and improving the dispatch times of fire brigades to systematically mitigate and control peatfire disasters (Harrison et al, 2009;Sandhyavitri et al, 2017).…”

Quick responses in managing peatfire disasters in Indonesia are one key success in mitigating and controlling the risk of peatfire disasters. The aim of this study was to simulate and identify the optimum numbers and locations of fire brigade posts for improving their response times in mitigating peatfire events in Bengkalis Island, Riau, Indonesia. Network analyses were applied in the case of peatfire events on this island. The results of this study may assist local governments and fire brigade teams in developing a strategy to manage peatfires systematically. Hence, the results may contribute to the body of knowledge as a reference in systematically controlling peatfire disasters elsewhere in the world. This study proposed five steps in the identification of appropriate locations of fire brigade posts and performs two main steps to achieve this objective: (i) evaluating existing fire brigade posts' service coverages; and (ii) developing three scenarios for simulating additions of one, two, and three posts. The results of this study improve fire brigade dispatch time performances as well as expand their service coverage areas from 40.7% to 62.4% within 60 minutes of dispatch time.

“…It was thus interesting to conduct research concerning peatfire mitigation measures to reduce peatfires in Bengkalis (Figure 1). Peatfire events have become an annual disaster affecting social, economic, and Indonesian welfare, especially on the islands of Sumatra and Kalimantan (Harrison et al, 2009;Sandhyavitri et al, 2017).…”

“…Kebakaran yang terjadi di lahan gambut sangat sulit dipadamkan, karena terjadinya kebakaran di bawah permukaan tanah. Sejarah membuktikan bahwa, jika kebakaran lahan gambut sudah cukup parah, maka hanya hujan yang bisa memadamkannya [3]. Oleh karena itu, upaya pencegahan merupakan jalan terbaik untuk menjaga lahan gambut dari ancaman kebakaran.…”

“…Lahan gambut tropis saat ini menjadi isu global dalam kaitannya dengan penggunaan skala besar untuk berbagai keperluan yang dapat menyebabkan masalah lingkungan termasuk kebakaran lahan, penurunan fungsi ekosistem yang masif, dan peningkatan emisi karbon [6]. Kebakaran lahan gambut tropis sangat sulit dipadamkan, karena kejadian kebakaran lahan gambut terjadi di bawah permukaan yang hanya dapat dipadamkan dengan adanya hujan atau hujan buatan [7] [8].…”

Peatlands rewetting for hydrological restoration plays an important role for fire prevention and peatland restoration of degraded peatland. One of the methods for the rewetting is canal blocking. The impact of canal blocking for peatland rewetting is further analyzed in this research. This study focused in Pulau Tebing Tinggi peatland hydrological unit (PHU), which is located in Kepulauan Meranti Regency, Riau Province. To analysis the rewetting impact, 15 dipwells were installed with the distance of 1 m, 51 m, 101 m, 201 and 301 m from the canal for each transect of the three transects. A transect was set in the downstream and two transects were set in the upstream of canal block. The ground water level (GWL) in the 15 dipwells was recorded using water-loggers for one year. This research found that canal blocking has a good effect on maintaining groundwater levels and keeping peatlands in always wet or humid conditions up to a distance of 201 m perpendicular to the canal if the rise in water level in the canal due to canal blocking is more than 0.6 m. It is able to maintain the ground water depth in peatlands around 0.4 m, where the peatlands become low risk to the fire, emission rates and subsidence.

“…Besides this loss, it is estimated that the CO 2 emission rate increased by at least 50% during the same period (Hirano et al 2014). Currently, the weather modification technology has an important role for mitigation strategy of the peat fires during dry season Indonesia (Sandhyavitri et al 2018).…”

Purpose We conducted this project to develop a feasible method for mapping tropical peat lands of Bengkalis Island-as a test site-in Indonesia. Materials and methods The method based on limited availability of field measurements and a wide range of remotely sensed spatial datasets like radar elevation product, MODIS, and Landsat imageries. We applied land use category based sampling to extend existing field data of peat thickness. New peat thickness data was collected by boring and simultaneous electrical resistivity tomography (ERT). Based on remotely sensed and field data sets, peat maps were compiled by simulated spatial annealing. Peat map statistics were derived after 500 runs including mean, median, minimum, maximum, and percentile values. Results and discussion The resulted maps represent the limiting values of expected peat thickness using 90% confidence level. Results showed that ERT is suitable for determining peat layer thickness. Using independent samples, we found that peat thickness predictions tend to overestimate peat thickness by ca. 2 m in general. Conclusions According to predictions, the peat volume of Bengkalis Island is estimated to be in the range of 3.28-3.58 km 3 .
