ABSTRACT

An ex-ante analysis could help in identifying areas which are vulnerable to forest fires and need be intensively managed to reduce damage caused by forest fires. In this study, the forest fire vulnerability indicators selected based on the literature and feasibility consideration were used to create a map of forest fire vulnerability. Selected indicators include population density, building density, locations of cultural properties and infrastructure, locations of facilities for serving people vulnerable to disasters, national and public parks, and forest reserve. Distance to coniferous forests was also taken into account in the mapping process. The resulting map is expected to be helpful in prioritizing areas for preventative projects and suppression activities as it can be used to identify the areas of high risk of forest fire damage in advance.
