A study in modeling fire hazard assessment will be essential in establishing an effective forest fire management system especially in controlling and preventing peat fire. In this paper, we have used geographic information system (GIS), in combination with other geoinformation technologies such as remote sensing and computer modeling, for all aspects of wild land fire management. Identifying areas that have a high probability of burning is an important component of fire management planning. The development of spatially explicit GIS models has greatly facilitated this process by allowing managers to map and analyze variables contributing to fire occurrence across large, unique geographic units. Using the model and its associated software engine, the fire hazard map was produced. Extensive avenue programming scripts were written to provide additional capabilities in the development of these interfaces to meet the full complement of operational software considering various users requirements. The system developed not only possesses user friendly step by step operations to deliver the fire vulnerability mapping but also allows authorized users to edit, add or modify parameters whenever necessary. Results from the model can support fire hazard mapping in the forest and enhance alert system function by simulating and visualizing forest fire and helps for contingency planning.

This article tries to discuss the discourse of the necessity of the application of the hermeneutic method in Qur’anic studies with the theory of interpretation ma’nā-cum-maghzā offered by Muslim scholars in Yogyakarta. In conclusion, the efforts of the initiators of the hermeneutic of the Qur’an to make hermeneutics be one approach and partners in the study of the Qur’an is an effort that needs to be appreciated, and the goal is to develop Islamic Studies (particularly the study of the Quran). The interpretation of the Qur’an with the theory ma’nā-cum-maghzā , is a method of interpretation of the results of elaboration. If this theory is applied in the interpretation of the Qur’an, it will produce a relative interpretation, or tentative interpretation, and dynamic one that always demands a change in accordance with the age, social and cultural backgrounds. Its implication is no final interpretation. So, Muslims will not ever understand absolutely the truth of the content in Qur’an, because it is dynamic and constantly changing. However, taking into account the assumptions and implications, hermeneutics is not appropriate to be applied in the study of the Qur’an. If it applied to interpret the Qur’an, then it will lead to confusions and doubts. This is because it departed from skepticism and relativism, equating the Qur’anic text as plain texts, requiring uncertainty meanings and relative-tentative interpretations.
