(e) Community and cultural factors are still obstacles in law enforcement of forest and / or land fire crimes, this is because there is still an attitude of community indifference and it has become a habit of the community if clearing land for agriculture / plantations is done by burning land that has been cut / cut to make it easier and more practical for land clearing. 3) Reconstruction of the legal model in handling forest and land fire perpetrators in Central Kalimantan based on justice in the future can be done by; (a) Synergy of Law Enforcement in Regulations against Forest Burning Perpetrators both in the criminal concept and in the concept of environmental law based on restorative justice; (b) Synergy of Forest Management both from the Government Together with the TNI, Polri, Perhutani and the community; (c) Forest Empowerment and Management based on local wisdom; (d) Increasing the budget and adjusting adequate facilities and infrastructure in handling forest and land fire perpetrators in Central Kalimantan; (e) Develop a society with a legal culture, especially related to the negative impacts of forest burning
