Descriptive Analytics System for Forest and Land Fire Patrol Data in Sumatra Indonesia

Abstract

To prevent and suppress forest and land fires, the Ministry of Environment and Forestry conducts forest and land fire prevention patrol activities by forming a fire fighter team for each operational area. Previously, a mobile application and website had been developed for data acquisition carried out by the patrol team for forest and land fire prevention in the Sumatra region. The data that have been recorded through the Patroli Karhutla mobile application are still primary data. Presentation of primary data into data that users easily understand can be done through a business analytics approach. This study aims to develop an application that allows users to easily view data from reports and patrol activities to support decision-making. This study uses a geographic information system to analyze the data from patrols for forest and land fire prevention. This study focuses on analyzing and developing information systems using descriptive analysis and prototyping. Data visualization is presented in the form of maps to monitor the patrol data that have been collected through the mobile application. The functionality of the system has fulfilled the user’s requirements.
