Forest and land fires are disasters that regularly occur on the island of Kalimantan, Indonesia. Higher education students on the island of Kalimantan are considered vulnerable to these disasters, hence the need for mandatory disaster knowledge and preparedness for every individual in the area. This research aimed to: (1) determine disaster knowledge and student preparedness in dealing with forest and land fire disasters, (2) determine the relationship between knowledge and student preparedness. This study used a quantitative correlation method with a questionnaire. The data were processed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 21. The research sample used purposive sampling because it followed the needs of the study, which involved 300 students affected by forest fires, representing three universities located in a forest fire-prone area in West Kalimantan province, Indonesia. Each campus has 100 students, a total of 300 students. The results showed as many as 284 students had experienced forest and land fire disasters. In addition, 202 out of 284 students were known to have low disaster knowledge. Four main parameters of disaster preparedness were used to measure student preparedness, namely (1) knowledge and attitudes, (2) emergency response plans, (3) disaster warning system and (4) resource mobilisation. The number of students with high preparedness was 141, while 143 had low preparedness. Thus, student preparedness measures need to be increased to avoid disaster impact.
Based on the data analysis, students' knowledge and preparedness to face forest fires are positively related. It was shown that the higher the learning of students, the higher their readiness and vice versa. It is suggested that there is a need for increasing knowledge and preparedness actions for students in dealing with forest fire disasters through regular disaster lectures, simulations and training so that they can make the right decisions in coping with disasters.
森林和土地火灾是印度尼西亚加里曼丹岛经常发生的灾害。加里曼丹岛的高等教育学生被认为容易受到这些灾害的影响，因此该地区的每个人都需要具备强制性的灾害知识并做好应对准备。本研究旨在：（1）确定学生在应对森林和土地火灾灾害方面的灾害知识和准备情况，（2）确定知识与学生准备情况之间的关系。本研究采用问卷调查的定量相关方法。数据使用社会科学统计软件包21进行处理。研究样本采用目的抽样，因为它符合研究的需要，涉及300名受森林火灾影响的学生，代表位于印度尼西亚西加里曼丹省一个森林火灾高发地区的三所大学。每个校区有100名学生，总共300名学生。结果显示，多达284名学生经历过森林和土地火灾灾害。此外，在284名学生中，有202名学生的灾害知识较低。用灾害准备的四个主要参数来衡量学生的准备情况，即（1）知识和态度，（2）应急响应计划，（3）灾害预警系统和（4）资源调动。准备情况高的学生有141名，而准备情况低的有143名。因此，需要加强学生的准备措施以避免灾害影响。
基于数据分析，学生面对森林火灾的知识和准备情况呈正相关。结果表明，学生的学习程度越高，他们的准备程度就越高，反之亦然。建议通过定期的灾害讲座、模拟和培训，增加学生应对森林火灾灾害的知识和准备行动，以便他们在应对灾害时能够做出正确的决策。
