Abstract
Repeated fires cause peatlands to degrade. Fire management has been carried out, but fires continue to occur, especially during the dry season. Through social capital that applies in the community based on the local wisdom of the Banjar people in environmental management, it is hoped that peatland fires can be overcome in this area. This research aims to analyze the social capital of the Banjar people in mitigating land fires based on local wisdom and the environment. The sample in this study was 250 people who live in an area prone to fires on peatlands in Banjarbaru, South Kalimantan, Indonesia. There are three variables in this study, namely Trust (T), Network (N) and Norm (N). There are 33 Likert scale questions (1-4, strongly agree-strongly disagree). We also conducted interviews with 20 members of the Fire Care Community (MPA) to obtain information about the social capital of the Banjar community in mitigating land fires. The analysis used is Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The study results show norms have the greatest influence on disaster mitigation of peatland fires compared to trust and social networks. Norms in the community in the form of values from peatlands, rules, norms and sanctions regulate the community more to deal with the problem of peatland fires than trust and social networks

1. Introduction
Peatlands are natural ecosystems that contain stored biomass from biomass deposits originating from past tropical swamp vegetation that has not been decomposed. Burning peatlands will consume a huge amount of biomass and fires that are difficult to extinguish [1]. The peatland fires will have an impact on the environment and people’s livelihoods [2]. Peatland fires have released large amounts of thick smoke and greenhouse gases [3]. The negative impact of smoke and greenhouse gases from fires on peatlands is higher than fires on mineral lands [4]. Peatland degradation causes a loss of livelihoods and harms community welfare [5].
Peatland fires in Indonesia require serious handling because they recur every dry season and are difficult to extinguish. Handling land fires requires the role of a leader and management of social capital that can synergize to provide solutions to the problems of forest and land fires [6]. Social capital is social unity or community resilience while simultaneously supporting the reduction of the risk of land fires. The community’s unity makes dealing with land fires more effective. Community resilience to disasters supports and enables communities to survive in disaster-prone locations. The ability to adapt, government support,
Social capital is bound by one definition of size, the quality of relationships in communities, organizations, and society. Social capital is manifested as human resources as an investment to obtain new resources for pragmatic interests in a community group [7]. The existence of social capital is not defined as material but as a social capital contained in a person. Social capital also sees the potential of groups in reciprocal relationships between individuals [8]. The social capital of a group determines the survival and functioning of a social group [9].
The involvement of local communities through various local wisdoms is critical in the conservation, rehabilitation and effective use of peatlands [5]. Local communities have local wisdom values in managing disaster-prone environments [10]. The local wisdom of the community is an important capital in avoiding the degradation of peatlands. Various forms of local wisdom in the context of mitigating land fires include clearing land with strong customs, making ditches to avoid land fires, and anticipating peatland fires such as choosing plants that can adapt well to peatland ecosystems, as a form of structural and non-structural mitigation [11].
Peatland fires in the South Kalimantan region always recur during the dry season, especially in the Banjarbaru area. Fires in the Banjarbaru area have become a serious problem because of the existence of important objects such as the Syamsudin Noor International Airport. Flights will be disrupted when a fire occurs in the area around the airport [12,13] Restoration of land fires in the South Kalimantan region has been carried out since 2016-present, with the establishment of the Peat Restoration Team for the Province of South Kalimantan. In addition, a fire care community (MPA) has been formed in the Banjarbaru area by the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of South Kalimantan Province. The task of this community is monitoring land fires, coordinating the handling of land fires and extinguishing fires when land fires occur. This community assists local governments in reducing the risk of land fires. Despite this, fires still occur in this area.
Peatland fires cannot be resolved because there are three categories of disaster problems: technical problems, socio-economic problems, and law enforcement problems. These three problems must be handled simultaneously to produce solutions in disaster management [14]. Attempts have been made to solve technical problems through a peat restoration program by building canal blocks and drilled wells, while law enforcement has also been implemented in this area [13]. This research takes an approach to social capital in the community because the responsibility for handling fires is not only the responsibility of the government or volunteer groups that are members of the MPA but also the responsibility of society in general. Trust, social networks, and the norms that apply in the community can be a solution in handling land fires based on the local wisdom of the Banjar people in managing the peatland environment. The Banjar people who live in peatland areas have for generations understood peatlands very well, and there are local wisdom values that apply to the community. This study aims to analyze the social capital of the Banjar people in mitigating land fires based on local wisdom and the environment.

2. Literature Review
The environment binds humans to meet their daily needs. Humans continue to interact with components of the physical environment (animals and plants) and abiotic components (soil, rocks, water, etc.). In addition, humans are bound by interactions between social beings to develop values and norms in society [15]. The interactions carried out later gave rise to cultural results in various forms, namely, tradition, language, technology, livelihoods, and elements of intrinsic value that bind people’s behaviour in a group. The discussion of humans and the social environment is intended to interpret that humans cannot live alone [16].
Humans are naturally social creatures. Humans have the needs, abilities and habits to communicate and interact with other humans [17]. In him, there is always an urge to interact with other human beings. Based on these interactions, humans form groups based on similarity in location, interests, and gender [15]. Based on this, grouping in human life is a need that must be met. Human group life can meet the needs of communication, security, order, justice, cooperation, and to get prosperity [7].
Social interaction as a social process gives rise to closer and closer characteristics. In this article, the pattern of human interaction is devoted to the closer stages, which start from initiating, exploring (experimenting), increasing (intensifying), integrating, and bonding [9]. In social interaction, there is interaction between components of society. These events sometimes run smoothly and harmoniously. Social interactions that occur in humans give rise to various concepts, one of which is social capital.
camp women in the community to be able to work together cannot be separated from the role of social capital that they have. The essence of social capital is social relations that are intertwined in the daily lives of citizens [9]. The essence of social capital lies in people’s ability in an entity or group to work together to build a network to achieve common goals. This collaboration is characterized by a pattern of reciprocal and mutually beneficial interrelationships (reciprocity) and is built on trust supported by positive and strong social norms and values [18].
Social capital plays a critical role in the functioning and strengthening of modern life. It can be interpreted that social capital is an absolute requirement for human development, economic development, social, political and democratic stability. There are three core concepts of existing social capital:
- ToTrust (honesty, fairness, egalitarianism, tolerance and generosity)
- Yes, light Social / Social Networks (participation, reciprocity, solidarity, cooperation)
The core concept of social capital above is an element that should exist in the life of a social group, be it a community or society. The concept of social capital is a form of adhesive for order and meaning in social life. The concept of social capital has complexity, which can be formulated based on the point of view of the experts concerned [18]. Social capital is a resource in the form of a network that knows values, norms, and social structures that have a spirit of cooperation, honesty/trust, and doing good, as knowledge of attitudes, actions, and behaviours that will have positive implications for productivity (output) and results. (outcomes) [8].
Social capital is an important point in carrying out land fire mitigation. Traditional social collaboration, collective action, norms and customs, as well as cultural values, are influential in the process of building traditional social capital and strengthening ties in socio-economic networks in the framework of disaster response and recovery systems [21]. Social capital can be used to reduce the impact of natural disasters and a strategy in disaster management [22].
Based on the description above, the theoretical framework of this study is as follows: (Figure 1)
3. Materials and Methods
3.1. Research Locations
3.2. Data Collection
The data were collected using questionnaires distributed to a total of 250 respondents. They live on peatlands that burnt every year. The data collection was carried out from April 2023 to June 2023. The variables used to analyze social capital for peatland fire mitigation were Trust (T), Social Network (SN) Norm (N), and disaster mitigation (M). We asked 33 questions on the questionnaire. The 33 items employed a Likert scale (1-4, strongly disagree-strongly agree). The details of the questions based on variables and indicators are in Table 1.
We also conducted observations and interviews with the Guntung Payung Fire Concern Community (MPA) and Syamsudin Noor MPA, as many as 20 informants, to obtain data on the forms of social capital the community has implemented in mitigating land fires. The interview was conducted in June 2023. We also used documents from the South Kalimantan Provincial Peat Restoration Team regarding mitigation efforts carried out by the community and local government to mitigate land fires.
3.3. Data Analysis
The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Factors loading was used to assess discriminant validity, where only items with factors that outperformed 0.50 would remain in the model [24]. The hypotheses in this study are:
- Banjar community trust (T) has a positive influence in mitigating land fires (M)
- Banjar Community Social Network (SN) has a positive influence in mitigating land fires (M)
- Norms that apply in the Banjar Community (N) have a positive influence in mitigating land fires (M)
We use data triangulation to check the validation and validity of the data. Triangulation by carrying out cross-checks on observation data, interviews and documents. Data analysis consists of data reduction, data display, and data verification.
4. Results
4.1. Banjar Community Trust in Land Fire Mitigation
Peatlands that are well-managed will produce sustainable peatlands. The Banjar people believe that properly managing peatlands and following the allotment of these peatlands will prevent fires on the land. The problem of fires on peatlands is difficult to overcome; one is caused by inappropriate land use and land that needs to be addressed to turn into shrubs. Many peatlands are then converted into agricultural land by using deep ditches so that the land is drained and dry. When dry and less productive, the land is overgrown with shrubs and left abandoned. The triggers widespread land fires. Therefore, the community seeks to utilize peat land according to its designation; for example, shallow peat can be planted with vegetables, and they also consider the width and depth of the drainage canals on the land to prevent land degradation. Unfortunately, managed peat is safer against fire, but much peat needs to be addressed, which causes the land to continue to experience fires.
Fires are a natural thing to happen on peatlands, especially during the dry season, because the land is dry. Even though it is natural, the community thinks fires on peatlands must be endeavoured so they do not spread. The community will protect their land because it is their livelihood source. Land owned by farmers tends to be more monitored from fire than abandoned land, so that fire risks can occur on unproductive land.
The ability to recognize nature and the ability to use technology are important things that must be possessed by people who live in peatland areas that are prone to fire. Communities on peatlands are very aware of when fires will occur on their land, so they will try to reduce the risks of land fires, including the ability to recognize signs of the dry season, the ability to access information and technology in monitoring land fires, and the ability to use tools to put out fires.
Community concern is critical to success in overcoming repeated peatland fires. Communities can move quickly when a fire occurs so it does not spread and help each other to put out the fire. The community also prepares agricultural land without burning. They use natural fertilizers from decomposed shrubs and artificial fertilizers. For them, peatland is a gift that must be preserved for the next generation. This attitude indicates that there is still hope for sustainable peatlands in the future. Even though it is still limited to their land, in the future, it is hoped that less productive land can also be managed into productive land for the sustainability of peatlands in the future.
4.2. Banjar Community Social Network in Mitigating Land Fires
Various volunteer groups were formed to deal with land fires. These volunteer groups include people who care about fire and people who care about disasters. This organization was initiated by the local government and by community groups in fire-prone areas [25]. This group was mobilized to mitigate land fires, starting from before the fire occurred, during the fire, and after the fire occurred. The assistance provided by this group was primarily in the form of personnel assistance for monitoring fire hotspots and for extinguishing fires. The local government trained them to put out fires, so this group of volunteers helped the local government deal with peatland fires.
Community groups carry out monitoring to monitor areas prone to land fires. The information is then disseminated to the general public and local governments. Community groups also sometimes carry out monitoring together with the local government. Community groups and the local government have also prepared drilled wells, canal blocks and ditches to prevent fires. Water sources from drilled wells can be used when fires occur, although some drilled wells run dry when fires occur in peatland areas. Communities and local governments are trying to protect peatlands from fires because peatlands have a significant value.
The weakness in this social network is the low level of coordination between stakeholders involved in extinguishing activities. Even though there are groups of volunteers and government agencies that specifically deal with land fires when fires spread, each stakeholder tends to work separately [12]. In addition, the number of personnel from both community groups and the local government is still limited, which causes fires to spread risk of spreading to peatland areas. There is also not much extinguishing equipment, so it is difficult to extinguish the fire when the fire spreads. In addition, water sources are also limited because drilled wells in several locations cannot be used, which causes the need for other water sources. Other government agencies outside disaster management manage some water sources. Therefore, the community and local government related to disaster management need to coordinate with various parties to deal with land fires. Good coordination is the key to managing land fires, but this has yet to be implemented optimally.
4.3. Norms Applicable in the Banjar Community in Mitigating Land Fires
Many people depend on peatlands for their lives, causing peatlands to be preserved. Peatlands are part of the life of the Banjar people. Since ancient times, the Banjar people have developed a traditional planting system without burning to prevent land fires. The tapulikampar system is a tradition of the Banjar people by preparing land without burning. This system is a form of local wisdom of the Banjar people in managing swamps and peat swamps to prevent land fires. In this system, organic matter is obtained from the decomposition of dead swamp plants and then spread throughout the land [26,27]. Preserving the sustainability of natural resources and agro-ecosystems in tidal swampland through local wisdom in Indonesia. In this system, land burning is no longer needed to increase fertility because people think that burning land will cause the land to become degraded and violate the norms that apply in society. Burning also does not make the land fertile permanently because the residue from burning will be carried away by water and lost from the peat soil [28].
According to the community, the perpetrators of land burning should be given social and legal sanctions. Social sanctions can be in the form of fines and legal sanctions in the form of imprisonment. However, there are no regulations to provide social sanctions in society. Meanwhile, legal sanctions have been implemented in Indonesia. Communities can also inform the local government or police if there is an act of burning land in their area. Usually, the perpetrators of arson will be subject to prison terms because there are already clear regulations governing forest and land burning violations, including peatlands. It is appropriate that regulations regarding forest and land fires must be implemented from the village level to the national level to prevent fires from spreading to fire-prone areas.
4.4. The social capital model of the Banjar Community in Mitigating Land Fires
The Banjar community’s social capital model in mitigating land fires is seen from various aspects, including trust, social networks and norms that apply in society. There are around 38 questions regarding social capital and land fire mitigation to explore social capital in land fire mitigation. The loading factor value is quite high, with a value of > 0.5 and Cronbach’s Alpha > 0.7. In Table 2, a summary of the measurement model is presented.
The social capital model in mitigating peatland fires in the Banjar community is shown in Figure 3.
The correlation value between social capital and land fire mitigation ranges from 0.5 to 0.6. The highest correlation value is between norms and land fire mitigation compared to other correlation values, namely 0.627. It indicates that the relationship between norms and land fire mitigation is closer than the relationship between other social capital variables (Table 3).
The p-value shows <0.05, which causes the influence between the norm variable and land fire mitigation, and the social network with land fires is significant, while trust in land fire mitigation is not significant. The influence of norms on mitigating peatland fires is greater than the influence of other aspects of social capital on mitigating peatland fires. It shows that values, norms, rules, and sanctions significantly influence efforts to mitigate peatland fires compared to other aspects.

5. Discussion
Land fires that occur in peatland areas that are always recurring are a difficult problem to overcome. Through the social capital that applies to the Banjar community, these problems are hoped to be overcome. The Banjar community has norms that apply in society in the form of local wisdom values, norms, rules and sanctions in managing peatlands so that it is more effective in managing peatlands compared to other aspects. The local wisdom of the people in Indonesia has been proven to have a significant role in disaster management in Indonesia. Local wisdom can be in the form of empirical experience from the community and the prohibitions that apply in society [29]. The Banjar people also have experience in how to manage peatlands for agriculture and how to make the land sustainable. Those who live on peatlands are very familiar with the peatlands themselves and can sustainably use peatlands, such as using the tapulikampar system to increase soil fertility [26,27]. Land preparation without burning is a norm in the Banjar community. This effort is carried out in the context of sustainable peatland management for the future.
Social capital also led to a high degree of collective action, shown by the active participation of all parties in one group by their respective functions. There was a commitment from each individual to be open to one another, to trust one another, and to give authority to everyone to play their role according to their responsibilities. In this study, the representation of norms is rules and sanctions. In a society, norms in the form of rules and sanctions in managing peatlands are an important component of social capital to prevent peatland fires. Rules and sanctions are made to prevent fires from occurring in an area, including in the Kalimantan region. In Indonesia, forest and land-burning perpetrators can be given criminal penalties and fines for those who burn forests and land. Many actors play a role in burning land, so sanctions are an important key in overcoming land fires, even though the main actors of burning are difficult to identify and are not touched by the law [30]. The existence of rules and sanctions helps to restrain destructive behaviour towards peatlands [31].
Social networks have a significant influence on land fire mitigation. Coordination of cooperation and synergy is needed between disaster management actors [14]. Community participation and cooperation have been implemented to prevent land fires. Community participation has been carried out quite well by joining the volunteer group. Collaboration has also been carried out between community groups and local governments. Many components play a role in handling land fires; it is just that coordination and synergy between groups still need to be improved. Coordination and synergy between components that play a role in managing peatland fire disasters are still deficient, which can cause peatland fire problems to continue [23]. The existence of sectoral egos causes social networks not to work properly, so the problem of land fires still needs to be solved.
The effect of trust in mitigating peatland fires has no significant effect on mitigating land fires. Even though the community thinks peatland is a source of livelihood for the community that needs preservation, peatland fires still occur. A well-managed grassland can become an economic resource for the community and a sustainable livelihood [32,33,34]. The tendency is that people pay less attention to lands that are less productive and overgrown with shrubs. As a result, the land is still burning, especially in the dry season.
6. Conclusions
Norm has a higher influence on peatland fire mitigation compared to trust and social networks. Community norms have the greatest role in mitigating land fires, indicating that values, rules and sanctions are more appropriate in overcoming peatland fires than other aspects in the study area. Social networks have quite an influence, but there are still areas for improvement, namely the synergy between community groups and local governments, which still needs to be improved. Trust is still low, indicating that people’s concern for peatlands needs to be addressed. They consider peatlands very important for the sustainability of life, but they protect their land, while many peatlands still need to be more productive.
