Abstract

In this work, we consider the problem of modelling the phenomenon of forest fires using the cellular automata approach. The proposed model takes into account the main parameters that affect this phenomenon like nature and density of vegetation, humidity, wind, and altitude. We developed a decision-aided tool with JAVA which allows to analyse and format several hybrid collected data (satellite images, Digital Terrain Model) relatively to each studied area. The generated scenarios of forest fire spread in the study area will be considered as a guide for strategies in control and prevention of forest fires. As an application, we consider the watershed Oued Laou (Morocco).
