“…Both natural processes and human activities influence these fires, particularly affecting Sumatra and Kalimantan Islands during the dry season [3]. The complexity of forest fire incidents, exacerbated by economic factors such as the transmigration program and fluctuating prices of commodities like crude palm oil and wood, necessitates urgent attention [5].…”

“…Notably, forest fire occurrences in these regions have intensified in both duration and area burned, leading to significant economic and ecological losses for Indonesia and neighboring countries. While natural factors contribute to these incidents, economic considerations, such as government policies and market dynamics, also play a pivotal role [5].…”

The forest fire phenomenon is severe and requires appropriate handling. This analysis aims to understand legal developments, strict liability, and compensation in the context of civil environmental law enforcement. This research employs a normative juridical legal approach. Data were obtained from the texts of court decisions, including the Pangkalan Bun District Court Decision, Palangkaraya High Court Decision, Supreme Court Cassation Decision, and Supreme Court Judicial Review Decision. Data are analyzed through selecting relevant decisions, analyzing legal texts, and comparing these decisions. The research results illustrate the progression of the PT. Kumai Sentosa case through a series of judicial decisions. The Pangkalan Bun District Court's decision initially determined strict liability for PT. Kumai Sentosa. However, the Palangkaraya High Court decision annulled the decision because PT. Kumai Sentosa was not responsible for the land fire. The Supreme Court Cassation Decision confirmed this decision. However, in the Judicial Review Decision of the Supreme Court, this case was re-examined and again determined the absolute responsibility of PT. Kumai Sentosa. This Judicial Review Decision confirms that PT. Kumai Sentosa is responsible for the land fire and must pay material compensation. Affirming strict liability in the Supreme Court's Judicial Review Decision has significant implications for enforcing civil environmental law in Indonesia. This case shows the importance of accountability in cases of environmental damage and compensation as an incentive for companies to be more careful in protecting the environment.

Current and future land fire risk mapping in the southern region of Sumatra, Indonesia, using CMIP6 data and GIS analysis

Land fires lead to a deterioration of environmental quality and have perilous social and economic aspects. One method for mitigating this hazard is to determine the range of fire risk areas. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the current and potential future fire risk in the Ogan Komering Ilir, southern Sumatra region of Indonesia, using CMIP6 data and geospatial technology. In order to analyze fire risk areas, the Landsat 8 satellite image from 2021 (as a baseline period) was used. Variables like the normalized difference moisture index (NDMI), the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), and the land surface temperature (LST) were extracted from the satellite image. Then, the standard precipitation index (SPI) was determined using rainfall data from meteorological stations. For future period prediction (periods 2021–2040 and 2041–2060), this study used future climate data from the CMIP6. By overlaying these variables, current and future fire risk zone maps were produced. The results obtained showed that in the current period, around 726.4 km2 (4.2%) of the area was at high fire risk, then 5,621.3 km2 (32.7%) and 10,835.3 km2 (63.1%) were at moderate and low fire risk zones, respectively. Furthermore, for the future period, this study estimated there was an increase in high fire risk areas of about 14% during 2021–2040 and 30% during 2041–2060. This was recorded in the southern and northern parts of the study area. Fire risk areas were strongly associated with NDMI, NDVI, and LST. The study's findings may be useful for land fire management in fire-prone areas.
