<![CDATA[West Kalimantan Province experiences forest and land fires every year. To detect the beginning of forest and land fires, namely by the presence of hot spots. The existence of Hot Spots (Hotspots) in the area shows that there are initial indications that forest and land fires have occurred. This research aims to determine the trends, emergence and distribution of Hotspots in West Kalimantan Province for the period 2018 to 2022. The method uses data collection techniques through obtaining hotspot data and the extent of forest and land fires via the website https:// sipongi.menlhk.go.id/. In this study, there is Descriptive Analysis and Spatial Analysis using Arc Gis 10.8 Software. as well as data processing via Excel.The results of the research show that the distribution pattern of hot spots (hotspots) in the West Kalimantan Province area is a total of 21,292 hot spots (hotspots) with the largest number of hot spots appearing in 2019 with a total of 11,804 hot spots (hotspots). With the frequent emergence of hot spots, there are 7,988 hot spots in Ketapang district, 2,562 hot spots in Sanggau district, 2,239 hot spots in Sintang district, and 1,813 hot spots in Kubu Raya district, Kapuas Hulu district has 1,093 hot spots (hotspots) and Landak district has 1,062 hot spots (hotspots).The highest area of forest and land fires in 2019 was around 151,819 Ha and the smallest area in 2020 was around 7,647 Ha. Meanwhile, the district with the highest area in 2019 was Ketapang district, covering an area of 91,388 hectares. Meanwhile, the smallest area of forest and land fires was in Singkawang city and North Kayong district with an area of 0 (Nil) in 2020. Conclusion The Ketapang, Sanggau, Sintang, Kubu Raya, Kapuas Hulu and Landak districts in West Kalimantan Province are areas with a high tendency for hotspots to appear. This shows that these areas are vulnerable to forest or land fires. Recommendations To predict the occurrence of forest and land fires in a certain area, it would be necessary to conduct a ground check or direct field inspection to determine the condition of land cover, weather and climate factors at the research location regarding the distribution of hot spots because hot spots are not necessarily fire spots. It is very necessary to carry out a field ground check]]>
