<![CDATA[This study aimed to analyze the relationship between monthly rainfall and the level of forest and land fire hazard in Gerokgak District, Buleleng Regency, in 2025. Gerokgak District is dominated by dry land, savanna, and shrubland that are prone to burning during the dry season. This study used a quantitative approach with the Spearman correlation method to determine the direction and strength of the relationship between monthly rainfall and forest and land fire hazard levels. Monthly rainfall data were obtained from CHIRPS satellite imagery, while fire hazard data were obtained from the Disaster Risk Assessment document of Buleleng Regency. The results showed that rainfall fluctuated throughout the year, with the highest monthly rainfall of 403.81 mm in January and the lowest of 25.44 mm in August. The Spearman correlation analysis showed that the relationship between monthly rainfall and forest and land fire hazard levels was generally weak to very weak. The highest correlation was found in April at -0.593, categorized as moderate with a negative direction. These results indicated that rainfall could be one of the factors influencing forest and land fire hazard levels, but its influence was not consistent every month. The variation in this relationship was presumably influenced by other factors, such as soil conditions, land use, air temperature, and human activities. This study is expected to serve as a source of scientific information for forest and land fire mitigation and control efforts in Gerokgak District.]]>
