<![CDATA[This research investigated ensemble clustering algorithms and dimensionality reduction for fire zone mapping, specifically DBSCAN + UMAP. We evaluated six clustering methods: DBSCAN, ensemble DBSCAN, DBSCAN + UMAP, ensemble DBSCAN + UMAP, HDBSCAN and Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM). We evaluated our results based on the Silhouette Score and the Davies-Bouldin (DB) index, emphasizing handling irregular cluster shapes, smaller clusters and resolving incompact clusters. Our findings suggested that ensemble DBSCAN + UMAP outperformed five other methods with zero noise clusters indicating clustering results are resistant to outliers, leading to a clearer identification of fire-prone areas, a high Silhouette Score of 0.971, indicating accurate cluster separation of distinct areas of potential fire hazards and an exceptionally low DB Index of 0.05 that indicates compact clusters to identify well-defined and geographically concentrated areas prone to fire hazards. Our findings contribute to the advanced techniques for minimizing the impacts of fires and improving fire hazard assessments in Indonesia.]]>
