![Page 3: Concept Plan for a GIS-based Fire Monitoring & Prediction System](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051816/5444f526afaf9feb2b8b460d/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• Importance of peatland management
• ASMC recognises that sustainable management of peatlands is important to deal with the threat of peatland fires and transboundary haze pollution
• ASEAN Peatland Forests Project (APFP)
• ASMC supports the APFP
• Offered to provide in kind technical expertise in the area of interpreting satellite imageries and monitoring peatland/hotspots.

• GIS and geospatial data growing in importance
• Allow users to examine new types of information in new ways
• Leverage on GIS technology
• Part of the effort to strengthen the early warning & monitoring capabilities of ASMC

• Rationale to adopt a GIS-based approach to enhance our Fire Monitoring & Prediction System
• Consolidate all useful data into a central repository
• Analysis data are geospatial in nature
• GIS “layering” feature allow for more insight into the situational analysis
![Page 6: Concept Plan for a GIS-based Fire Monitoring & Prediction System](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051816/5444f526afaf9feb2b8b460d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Potential usage of a GIS based system
• Observation data in GIS layers can be drawn into the framework to
facilitate analysis
o Example: overlaying of satellite imagery depicting smoke haze with
air quality data on the ground
• Able to infer the extent of the smoke haze
![Page 7: Concept Plan for a GIS-based Fire Monitoring & Prediction System](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051816/5444f526afaf9feb2b8b460d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Potential usage of a GIS based system
• Forecast products can be overlaid to create a prognosis of the situation
oExample: dispersion output indicate likely path the haze will take,
other forecasts may indicate general dryness/wetness over
the location
likely escalation/subduing of the situation

• Potential usage of a GIS based system
• Statistical data can also be analysed coherently with current data to
identify historical trends
o Example: Are the hotspot counts observing a similar trend over the
same location over the years?

• To move forward, need to take stock of
• What is available and what is lacking
o ASMC has information such as hotspot data, satellite imagery
o Need to translate information to format suitable for GIS usage
Example: SHP files, GEOTIFF
• Require the following specifically for peatland fire analysis
• Peatland distribution and depth database
o Require geo-referenced peatland data of ASEAN region
• Water table information
• Land use database

• Other considerations for the system
o Ability to export suitable layers to the eventual APFP system
o Hardware, software, capacity building etc

• ASMC is concurrently looking at leveraging GIS technologies for
fire and haze monitoring
• Welcome any feedback/suggestions to the system
• Contribute and cooperate to make the APFP a success
