ABSTRACT

Haze is one of the harmful consequences of forest and land fires that cause negative effects on human health. In addition, the increase of CO2 produced by forest and land fires in the atmosphere results in the greenhouse effect. To minimize the negative consequences of forest and land fires, analysis of haze movement and pollutant concentrations is necessary to be performed. This study aims to develop a web-based application for clustering haze trajectories from forest and land fires in Sumatra in 2015. The data used for the simulation are hotspot sequential patterns in Sumatra in 2015 and weekly GDAS meteorological data. This study adopts the linear sequential model in system development, which consists of four stages: analysis, design, implementation, and testing. The application was implemented using the Shiny Framework, which is available in the R programming tool. Two clustering algorithms are implemented in the application, namely ST-DBSCAN and K-Means. Haze and pollutants, including CO and CO2, were generated using the HYSPLIT model. The application has three main features: Generating Haze Trajectory, Haze Clustering, and Haze Cluster Visualization. The system was tested, and the results show that all features in the application are working correctly. The system has a limitation in generating the real-time haze trajectory. This is due to the availability of real-time hotspots as initial points of simulations and meteorological data. Future work will focus on developing a real-time application of haze trajectory from forest and land fires.
