Utilization of geoinformation tools for the development of forest fire hazard mapping system: example of Pekan fire, Malaysia

A study in modeling fire hazard assessment will be essential in establishing an effective forest fire management system especially in controlling and preventing peat fire. In this paper, we have used geographic information system (GIS), in combination with other geoinformation technologies such as r...
