Intentional and unintentional factors cause the occurrence of fires in peatlands. Intentional factors come from traditional agricultural practices, the low cost of burning peat land, land ownership conflicts, and increasing demand for agricultural land. Unintentional factors caused by lack of discipline in the people around the peatlands include throwing cigarette butts carelessly, making campfires, and uncontrolled burning of rubbish.
