Development Of A Gis Based Peat Swamp Forest Fire Hazard Model

A GIS-Based peat swamp forest fire hazard model that integrated AHP process and GIS analysis was developed. A GIS-grid based fire vulnerability map was thus produced for Pekan, Pahang. High correlations (100%) were observed between fire vulnerability zone map that derived from the model with the...
