Popis: In the past 5 years, the issue of forest and peatland fires in Indonesia has received a major concern from various parties. As one of the prevention efforts, the Government of Indonesia seeks to prevent the ignition of forest and peatland fires both anthropogenic and naturally as a result of prolonged drought. These efforts could be carried out well through the implementation of remote sensing observations and through predictive technology on the position of the hotspot. However, it should be noted that historical data that have been used in those predictive technology on these hotspots are not yet verified and validated with fire occurrences and burned area footprints. Therefore, in this study, verification of historical fires hotspot will be conducted with the occurrence of wildfires based on land use satellite imagery to validate the events. This verification test will use overlay and spatial statistical methods. based on the results of the verification test, a number of hotspots were found that were not in accordance with the incidence of forest fires especially in some area that neared agricultural area and factories. Thus, in the implementation of the use of hotspot data for predictions of forest fires, it is necessary to verify the suitability of the land and the incidence of forest fires.
