Abstract
Abstract- The Bengkalis Regency has highly flammable peat soil, especially during the dry season. One of the precautionary measures that can be taken is cultivating pineapples to protect the peatland from fires. Currently, the peatland in Bengkalis Regency covers a vast area of 800,017.67 hectares. Based on observations of plantations on peatland and various studies on this soil type, properly managed peat soil in Bengkalis Regency holds significant potential as a resource for pineapple cultivation. The method employed in this research involves an object-oriented approach, and for its development, a prototype method is utilized. The results indicate that Geographic Information Systems (GIS) can serve as a visualization tool, effectively combining graphical (spatial) data with textual (attribute) data to map suitable areas for pineapple cultivation.
