Abstract
This paper aims are; a) to identify the peat classification based on peat depth and groundwater level; b) to identify CO2 content stored and CO2 emission of peat within the study area; c) to produce a hotspot hazard map using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and geospatial technologies. These are vital components in producing a holistic peat fire management approach.
