Abstract

Forest fires are among the most destructive environmental disasters in Indonesia, causing long-term ecological damage, health problems, and economic disruption. Increasing occurrences driven by climate anomalies, land clearing, and vegetation dryness highlight the need for intelligent and data-driven risk monitoring systems. This study introduces a hybrid analytical framework that integrates Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) with blockchain-based data management and geospatial visualization to identify forest fire risk levels. The proposed model combines the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), Weighted Sum Model (WSM), and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) to evaluate multiple parameters, including temperature, humidity, rainfall, and the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). Environmental data were securely obtained from a private Ethereum blockchain using Ganache, Truffle, and MetaMask to ensure transparency, integrity, and immutability. Results were visualized through an interactive Leaflet.js interface, allowing real-time geospatial monitoring linked to blockchain transaction hashes. The AHP analysis revealed that temperature (0.36) and humidity (0.27) contributed 63% of the total decision weight, while TOPSIS identified high-risk zones consistent with historical records. Validation against BNPB data achieved 90.7% accuracy, confirming the model’s reliability. The integration of MCDM, GIS, and blockchain provides a transparent, decentralized, and verifiable approach for national-scale fire-risk management, enhancing the accuracy and credibility of environmental decision-making systems.
