Synergy Between Geomatics and Artificial Intelligence for Optimizing Forest Fire Risk Management. Case of Study: Theniat El Had Tissemsilt

Abstract

This work focuses on the contribution of Geomatics and Artificial Intelligence to forest fire protection, recognized as a major threat to forest ecosystems. We utilized the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Genetic Algorithms (GAs) to map the fire risk in the ThéniatelHad forest, located in the Wilaya of Tissemssilt Province. Integrating the historical fire data of the area into our analysis was crucial in enhancing our understanding of the risks involved. The results obtained with genetic algorithms are promising and urge us to refine our approach to produce more accurate risk maps. These maps could then be effectively used as tools for fire prevention.
