Peatland forest fires continue to occur every dry season in Indonesia. Many efforts have been made by the government, universities, non-governmental organizations and police/ army. However, there are still fires. One of the solutions offered in this study is the application of restorative justice, especially for small-scale land burners.  There are two locations that are prone to fire at Palangka Raya City, Central Kalimantan, as well as Pahandut District and Jekan Raya District in Indonesia, since in the ۲۰۱۹ fires, these two areas exhibited a fairly high level of land fire vulnerability. Based on these data, these two locations will be monitored with routine patrols.   Research from ۲۰۲۰ – ۲۰۲۲, restorative justice was carried out for ۳ arsonists with different motives. This gives researcher an idea that the cause of peatland fires is caused by human behaviour factors. Although this study is very short, it is expected to provide a deterrent effect for arsonists and prevent other communities from burning their land in the next year, especially during the dry season.
