Challenges in Satellite-based Research on Forest and Land Fires in Indonesia: Frequent Item Set Approach

Forest fire research in Indonesia has been in increasing trend since 1982/1983- and 1997/1998-fire episodes. The first episode emphasized on fire impacts and the second episode has more research on emission and pollution. Satellite-based researches on fire are scattered and still limited. This study aimed to analyze fire satellite-based research aspects and challenges for the future. Text mining was applied to analyze selected international as well as national journals containing fire satellite-based research. The study revealed that there are three main research clusters: fire emission and pollution, fire detection, and fire danger and risk.
