- Abstract
Forest and land fires in Ogan Ilir Regency, South Sumatra, are a serious issue that endangers the environment and the well-being of the community. The main causes of forest and land fires are a lack of firefighting equipment, low public awareness, and the practice of land clearing by burning. This research aims to formulate effective policies for handling forest and land fires in Ogan Ilir Regency, with a focus on improving firefighting infrastructure, community education campaigns, and technological empowerment. This research uses a qualitative approach with interview techniques, observation, and document analysis to extract information from relevant stakeholders. The results of the policy formulation concluded that some of the proposed policy alternatives involve improving firefighting infrastructure, community education campaigns, and technological empowerment. The combination of these strategies is expected to create positive changes in handling forest and land fires. Holistic policy implementation, involving the active participation of the community and stakeholders, is key in overcoming forest and land fires in Ogan Ilir Regency. Suggestions for policymakers include strengthening regulations, investing in technology, and financial incentives to support sustainable practices.
