Development of a GIS-based forest fire risk map: Case of Kuan Kreng swamp forest, Southern Thailand

The objective of this study was to assess risk area and its severity classification of forest fire covering the area of Kuan Krang swamp forest using the application of geographic information system (GIS) based on forest fire influencing factors. These factors included land uses, soil types, distance to streams, distance to roads and distance to communities. Each factor was assigned for weighting and rating scales following the literature data, interview data of representative from the Forest Fire Control Station at Kuan Kreng and hotspot (fire) data collected from 2001 to 2013. A GIS-based multi-criteria techniques using weighted overlay method was used to classify risk level of forest fires. The level of risk was divided into 3 types: high, medium and low risks. Results indicated that the most important factor for the forest fires of Kuan Kreng was land use. The degraded swamp forest was found to be the most vulnerability area for the origin of forest fires. The highest risk areas of forest fires in Kuan Kreng were found at Amphoe Cha Uat and Amphoe Ron Phibun, Nakhon Si Thammarat and Amphoe Khuan Khanun, Phattalung.
