11. Summary of the new findings of the thesis

1) Identify specific groups of factors and establish criteria to participate in a research model of forest fire risk in practical conditions in Son La province.

2) Apply geoinformatics in processing data of fire situation processed from NASA's Hot spot, Global Atlas Fire data and Son La Forest Protection Department, Vietnam Forest Protection Department, combine knowledge expert, multi-criteria analysis (MCA), hierarchical evaluation (AHP) and machine learning (ML) with algorithms: RF (Random forest), SVM (Support vector machine) and MLP (Multi Layer Perceptron) to establish forest fire risk maps at the scale of 1: 100,000 for the whole province and 1: 50,000 for the district administrative units.

3) Online information processing according to 4.0 technology in Internet environment combined with data of iMetos Smart Weather Station, global meteorological iMetos Station network and forest fire risk map to access publish information 1-3 days early warning of forest fire events in Thuan Chau district by means of multimedia communication.

12. Practical applicability, if any:

1) The research results of the thesis have established multi-scale forest fire risk maps for territorial administrative units, which are the scientific basis for early warning of forest fire events by using geoinformatics combined with iMetos Smart Weather Station data and multimedia communication technology (WebGIS, SMS) has the ability to apply and bring practical effects in fact.

2) The research results of the thesis will contribute scientific basis to territorial organization and help local authorities to propose strategy, plan and spatial organization for sustainable development in Son La province.

3) The thesis' database can be used for other research in the territory.

13. Further research directions, if any

- Research on forest fire risks and warnings based on the application of geoinformatics at a larger scale and in more detail.

-  Applying geoinformatics to study a number of other types of environmental hazards such as landslides, flash floods, flooding, ...
