Optimization of Fire Station Distribution Based on Geographic Information System in Sabang City
摘要
The fire disaster in Sabang City from 2018 to 2021 occurred as many as 21 incidents with 15 incidents of forest and land fires and 6 occurrences of residential fires. Sabang City has 22.01% high risk, 77.92% moderate risk, and 0.07% low risk of fire. Losses due to fires that occurred in Sabang City from 2018 to 2021 were the burning of 4 units of houses, 14 units of shops, and 3.05 hectares of forest and land. One of the countermeasures that can be done is setting the right location for the fire station. This study aims to determine the current range of firefighting services and recommend the location of fire stations in Sabang City. The recommendation for the location of the new fire station is determined based on land use, travel time, accessibility, current fire service coverage, land availability, population density, and building density. This study uses the type of secondary data obtained from related agencies. The data that has been obtained is processed using ArcGIS Pro 2.9.1 software by creating network datasets and overlays. The processed data were analyzed using spatial methods in the form of model simulations. The simulation of this research model was carried out using the network analysis method with the service area tool from the ArcGIS Pro 2.9.1 software. The results show that the current reach of the Sabang City fire service cannot reach the entire urban area of Sabang City within 5 (five) minutes in the event of a fire disaster. The results of the study recommended 3 (three) new fire stations in the urban area of Sabang City spread over 3 (three) villages, namely station 1 (one) in Balohan, station 2 (two) in Batee Shoek, and station 3 (three) is in Beurawang.
