Judul: Analisis Diskursus Pengendalian Kebakaran Hutan dan Lahan dalam Isu Perubahan Iklim di Indonesia
Abstrak: The forestry and land use sector is Indonesia's largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, responsible for 56% of national emissions in 2016 to 2020 period. Within this sector, forest and peatland fires has a major emissions impact. Human activity supported by extreme weather conditions, particularly the El-Nino phenomenon, predominantly drives these fires especially in wet tropical regions like Indonesia. This issue has garnered attention from various sectors, including academics, researchers, and scientific media writers. Scientific media play a vital role in informing the public and shaping effective management strategies. The objectives of this research are; 1) analyze the role of scientific media in providing information on the issue of forest and land fires in Indonesia, 2) analyze and map all forms of forest and land fire management activities in Indonesia, 3) analyze the relationship between forest and land fires in Indonesia and climate change. This study employs discourse analysis methods in electronic scientific media. A search on Google Scholar in 2016 to 2020 period, revealed that out of 9590 articles discussing forest and land fires in general, less than 1% of them address forest fire management. This indicates that researchers' attention to activities aimed at controlling forest and land fires is still very limited. The relationship between the number of articles and the number of hotspots each year is not consistent. This inconsistency is believed to be due to the time gap between when the fires occurred and when the research was conducted, as well as between the time the research was carried out and when the article was published. The findings of content analysis in selected national journals on forest fire control reveal that the cause of forest and land fires in Indonesia are driven by economic factors, specifically the desicion of land clearing through burning which is considered cost-effective option. However, there appears to be a discrepancy as national journals more emphasize social control efforts. In this case, if the national journal is used as a basis or as a tool to describe actual conditions, this gap between the identified causes and the control efforts may be a contributing factor to the persistence of forest and land fires in Indonesia. Most national journals stated that forest and land fires significantly contribute to climate change in Indonesia. All stakeholders are aligned in confirming the interconnectedness and mutual influence between forest and land fires and climate change. Climate change control in the forestry sector relies on the collaboration of all involved parties. Stakeholders have a different view from national journal articles, particularly as they don't mention NGO involvement in firefighting efforts., Sektor kehutanan dan penggunaan lahan merupakan sektor terbesar penyumbang emisi gas rumah kaca di Indonesia, sekitar 56% dari emisi nasional selama periode 2016 hingga 2020. Salah satu penyebabnya yaitu kebakaran hutan dan lahan. Penyebab kebakaran di wilayah tropika basah seperti di Indonesia lebih di dominasi oleh aktivitas manusia yang didukung oleh perubahan cuaca ekstrim seperti fenomena El-Nino. Kebakaran hutan dan lahan menjadi fenomena yang menyita perhatian berbagai lapisan masyarakat, termasuk para peneliti sebagai penulis media ilmiah. Media ilmiah berperan dalam memberikan
