The problem of fire always threatens the existence of forests in Indonesia, repeatedly occurring every year, so it becomes one of the national and regional issues, both occurring naturally and caused by human actions. This study aims to develop a spatial analysis model of the multi-criteria-based fire vulnerability distribution in tropical forest areas. Modeling using GIS and spatial correlation analysis. In a tropical forest area of 7,042.29 Ha in the Tepo Asa Aroa KPH area, North Morowali Regency, Central Sulawesi, a spatial model of the distribution of fire vulnerability based on multi-criteria was produced, which could support rapid mapping of fire-prone forest areas. The results of the analysis of variables on land use/vegetation cover, rainfall, slope, distance from roads and settlements, business permits, forest protection, and security simultaneously made it possible to lower the fire vulnerability rating from ‘very high’ and ‘high’ to a ‘medium’ vulnerability rating. ‘ to ‘low’ and ‘very low’. All parameters tested statistically have a spatial correlation with fire vulnerability
