| Summary: | One of
the ways to control tropical peat fires is to use a combination of the Global
Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and smartphones for monitoring, reporting,
and verification of the location of the fires. The latest smartphones have many
sensors, such as a compass, accelerometer, GPS, and a camera, to collect forest
activity data from a specific target area. The collected data were then transferred
to a cloud server through global mobile communication. This paper discusses a
mobile and web application-based approach to collect and analyze user-generated
geographical information of human activity data. The paper aims is to promote
law enforcement agencies, local government, and fire patrol to consider the use
of this low-cost, easy-to-use technology in controlling and reducing the risk
of tropical peatland fires. Our mobile application has an easy-to-use mapping technology
that allows its users to locate addresses quickly and provides cartographic
maps augmented with digital information and high-resolution aerial imagery.
This study proposes online citizen reporting as a new approach for law
enforcement by aiding local government and fire patrols to conduct monitoring,
reporting, and verification to reduce the risk of peat forest fires. |
