Abstract

This paper presents the analysis of South Sumatera hotspots distribution pattern from 2005–2015 based on spatial and temporal aspects. The hotspot distribution data used is FIRMS MODIS Fires data. The spatial aspect is represented by the attribute of latitude and longitude as the location of the occurrence of hotspots and the temporal is represented by the date attribute. DBSCAN clustering is used to analyze spatial aspect. The results show that Tulung Selapan subdistrict is on high fire-prone region. Air Sugihan, Cengal, Bayung Lencir is on medium and the others is low. For temporal aspect, the result shows most hotspots occurred on August, September and October.
