Abstract

Peat fires is one of a serious environmental issue in Indonesia, in particular in the South Sumatra region. The fires usually occur during dry season from July to September. This study is designed to evaluate the impact of peat fires on land cover change in the Merang Kepahyang Peat Hydrological Region (MK-PHR) in the South Sumatra using Landsat satellite imagery for period of 2002-2015. The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NOVI) was used an index to calculate the density of green on patch of land (land cover). The results showed that extreme peat fires associated with anomalous climate events were occurred in 2006, 2012 and 2015. In particular, the 2015 peat fires associated with the largest anomalous climatic index had the largest hotspot distribution and the rapid land cover changes were observed in the most area of the MK-PHR. The total average of land cover loss was about 49% of the total MK-PHR area.
