| Summary: | Forest fire is one of the major environmental issues, that can damage environment and human lives as well. Forest fire usually caused by natural or man-made reasons and can cause haze pollution, which will give bad effects toward human health such as asthma and skin infection. Forest fire are becoming an issue in Selangor because of its high occurrence over the year. To solve this problem, map of forest fire risk zone are produce. The aim for this research is to identify forest fire risk zone in Selangor by integrating the factors that influence forest fire using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique. To achieve the aim of the study there are three objectives that will be done which is to identify parameters that influence forest fire, to determine weightage factor of each parameters using AHP technique, and lastly to classify forest fire risk zone. The data used in this research are Landsat 8 OLI and Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data, which is Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM). Meanwhile, the software used in this research are Erdas Imagine, Excel and ArcGIS. At the end of the result, forest fire risk zone can be determined. |
