Abstract

The Egon Ilimedo Protected Forest, which is categorized based on its function as a protector of environmental balance, has recently experienced frequent fires that will inevitably lead to environmental imbalance. This problem can be overcome with preventive measures. Effective and efficient preventive measures can be taken if they are in line with the identified causes. Therefore, this study aims to understand the factors causing fires in the Egon Ilimedo Protected Forest. The method used in this study to collect data was a questionnaire survey, which was analyzed using percentage score interpretation. The results of the study show that the Egon Ilimedo Protected Forest fires are recognized by the community as events that are generally caused by several human activities. Based on the interpretation of the highest percentage score of 75.21%, the community agreed that the main cause of the fire was the disposal of lit cigarette butts on dry shrubbery in windy conditions, compared to the other two causes, namely illegal burning and uncontrolled burning to clear land.
