Abstract

Forest fire in Indonesia is a cataclysmic event that routinely happens consistently every year. The Indonesian government's intervention in suppressing forest fires is often carried out when massive fires have already occurred massively. When it happens in peat soil, forest fires become hard to extinguish because of the characteristics of burning below the ground surface, better known as the phenomenon of peat smoldering. Thus, that condition challenges the mitigation of forest fires in Indonesia to prioritize preventive principles in its implementation, one of which is through observing the physical condition of peatlands. This study examines and identifies existing regulations and policies concerning forest fires disaster mitigation by taking Riau Province as study area, one of Indonesia's areas that are, in many cases, hit by forest fires annually. Through the analysis of literature studies of relevant sources, this paper seeks to provide input on how monitoring the physical condition of peatlands can support decision-making related to forest fires disaster mitigation activities. This study explains that policies and regulations concerning the mitigation of forest fire in Indonesia still have not considered the scientific basis of the peatland physical parameters for mitigation activities, especially in determining disaster status level, which has further implications for the effectiveness of forest fires suppression activities. Furthermore, this study also highlights that by monitoring peatlands' physical condition, peatlands can be implemented to improve the paradigm in overcoming forest fires in Indonesia to be more preventive and succesful.

Abstract

The Indonesian government's food estate program aims to achieve food security through the use and improvement of agricultural land, one of which is in peatland areas. The implementation of the food estate program in Indonesia needs to comprehensively consider environmental, economic and social aspects, so that it will not only provide benefits to the wider community, but also pay attention to the ecological functions of the peatland ecosystem. In this paper, a study is carried out on several aspects such as the availability and potential of peatlands for agriculture, the right commodities for agricultural activities on peatlands, examples of the economic benefits of peatland agriculture, and the involvement of local communities as indicators of sustainability of the food estate program. The discussion is carried out using the perspective of environmental science and FEW Nexus. The results of this study explain that the food estate program on peatlands needs to pay attention to several challenges in the environmental, social, and economic sectors. Furthermore, food estate on peatlands is also considered necessary to be implemented within the framework of the FEW Nexus in order to become a sustainable program.
