Abstract

Wildland fires are one of the threats to forest ecosystems. Human activities are positively correlated and have a significant impact on fires. Therefore, the mapping of vulnerability classes is carried out as an effort to control fires. The necessary control efforts are suppressive, preventive and productive for the community, such as honey bee cultivation. Beekeeping will conserve forests and land and become a source of income through honey harvested by the community. This study aims to mapping the forest and land fire vulnerability class in Siak Regency, Riau Province, and conduct a spatial analysis of the presence of honey bee cultivation on forest and land vulnerability classes. The variables used are natural factors in the form of land cover, vegetation index, humidity index, and surface temperature. Furthermore, human factor variables consist of distance to accessibility and community activity centers. These two factors were scored and weighted. The formula used gave a weight of 0.1 to natural factors and 0.9 to human factors. This research resulted in the class of forest and land fire vulnerability in Mempura District, Siak Regency consisting of 3 classes, namely low (3,095.03 ha or 11.58%), medium (9,002.84 ha or 33.70%) and high (14,620.41 ha or 54.72%). Honey bee cultivation is found in the medium vulnerability class (5 sites) in the cover type and land use of plantations or gardens and in the high vulnerability class (4 sites) in the cover type and land use of plantation forests.
