Many researchers used different models to predict the
forest fire risk, based on a lot of meteorological data and fire frequency data (Lazaros et al. 2002; Amparo and
Oscar 2003; William et al. 2000; Jilang et al. 1995). Most of them mapped forest fire risk zonesby directly using
remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) that contain topography, vegetation, land use,
population, and settlement information (Chuvieco and Congalton 1989; Chuvieco and Salas 1996; Mariel and
Marielle 1996; Jaiswal et al. 2002).
