Abstract

Forest fires are one of the most important environmental risks that have adverse effects on many aspects of life, such as the economy, environment, and health. The early detection, quick prediction, and rapid response of forest fires can play an essential role in saving property and life from forest fire risks. For the rapid discovery of forest fires, there is a method using meteorological data obtained from local sensors installed in each area by the Meteorological Agency. Meteorological conditions (e.g., temperature, wind) influence forest fires. This study evaluated a Data Mining (DM) approach to predict the burned area of forest fires. Five DM models, e.g., Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD), Support Vector Machines (SVM), Decision Tree (DT), Random Forests (RF), and Deep Neural Network (DNN), and four feature selection setups (using spatial, temporal, and weather attributes), were tested on recent real-world data collected from Gyeonggi-do area over the last five years. As a result of the experiment, a DNN model using only meteorological data showed the best performance. The proposed model was more effective in predicting the burned area of small forest fires, which are more frequent. This knowledge derived from the proposed prediction model is particularly useful for improving firefighting resource management.

산불은 경제, 자연환경, 건강과 같은 삶의 여러 측면에서 몇 가지 악영향을 주는 가장 핵심적인 환경위험 중의 하나이다. 산불의 조기발견, 빠른 예측, 신속한 대응은 산불 위험으로부터 재산과 생명을 구하는데 본질적인 역할을 할 수 있다. 산불의 빠른 발견을 위해 기상청에서 각 지역에 설치한 로컬 센서를 통해 획득한 기상 데이터를 이용하는 방법이 있다. 기상 조건(예: 온도, 바람)은 산불 발생에 영향을 미친다고 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 산불의 피해 면적을 예측하기 위해 데이터 마이닝(DM) 기법을 적용한다. 다섯 종류의 DM 모델, 예를 들어 Stochastic Gradient Descent(SGD), Support Vector Machines(SVM), Decision Tree(DT), Random Forests(RF), Deep Neural Network(DNN)과 네 가지 입력 특성 그룹(공간, 시간, 기상 데이터 이용)을 최근 5년간의 경기도 지역에서 수집한 실제 산불 발생 데이터에 적용하였다. 실험결과는 기상 데이터만을 이용한 DNN 모델이 가장 우수한 성능을 보였다. 제안한 모델은 빈도수가 높은 작은 규모의 산불 예측에 더 효과적이었다. 제안한 예측 모델을 통해 도출된 이러한 지식은 소방 자원 관리를 개선하는데 특히 유용하다.
