Aim To examine the associations between DHF Incidence pattern with demographic, environmental factors (climate, land use), and DHF control activities in selected areas in Indonesia

Objectives To describe the fluctuation and spatial distribution of DHF incidence To examine the association between climatic conditions and DHF incidence To examine the association between population density, migration, land use with DHF cumulative incidence To explore the influence of DHF control activities on the DHF incidence In selected areas.

Areas of Study Deli Serdang Jakarta Indonesia at a Glance Area: 1,919.4 sq km Population (2003): 235 million; 100 Distinct ethnic groups.

Data collection 1.The monthly data of DHF cases from each sub district collected from DHF surveillance data. 2.The monthly meteorological data (temperature, rainfall, rain day and humidity) obtained from weather monitoring station. 3.The population density, land use and dwellings type data data obtained from The Indonesian Statistics Bureau (BPS). 4.Type of water containers obtained from DHF survey in in selected areas.

Data Analysis Statistical analysis included: Descriptive analysis : Time series graphs, Frequency distributions Test of normality The independent t-test Chi Square analysis A correlations analysis Spatial Analysis  To show the spatial distribution and the variation of DHF incidence at study areas

Most DHF cases occurred in unplanned housing areas (Central Jakarta)

In Central Jakarta Control Activity (Fogging) was found to be ineffective in preventing DHF outbreak

Another Control Strategy for Combating DHF is Mosquito Breeding Site Eradication Program (MBSEP) “…to encourage communities in the eradication of dengue, especially in removing mosquito larvae, so the infection by the disease can be prevented… ”

The Way of Executing Mosquito Breeding Site Eradication Program Cleaning water containers Covering water containers Burying discarded containers Other activities such as changing water regularly in flower pots and bird feeding cups, etc

Typical water containers in Indonesia that can be potential breeding place for dengue mosquitoes

Conclusions 1.Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is one of the most important communicable diseases occurs in urban areas such as Jakarta. 2.DHF incidence is associated with relative humidity, number of rainy days and average daily rainfall. 3.Analysis of population density and DHF incidence at sub-district level indicates that DHF incidence was high in low population density areas. 4.DHF incidence tended to be higher where residential buildings occupied a high percentage of land, whereas areas with high proportion of ‘office and industrial’ and ‘free space and agriculture’ land use had lower incidence of DHF.

Respondents with higher education level tend to be more involved in MBSEP. The economic status of respondents had no relationship with their participation in the MBSEP. Occupation was found to have no correlation with the participation level of the MBSEP 5.In areas of permanent and semi-permanent dwellings, DHF incidence was higher than in the temporary dwellings areas. 6.Water containers inside and around the houses are important factors in DHF transmission due to the abundance of vectors. 7.Education and Socio-economic Factors in Relation to The Mosquito Breeding Site Eradication Program

Health promotion campaigns have a relationship with the level of knowledge in the MBSEP. Respondents with low education level prefer greater consultation with health workers. Knowledge of the MBSEP has no relationship with respondent participation in the program. Respondents attitudes have no relationship towards their participation in the MBSEP. More respondents in urban area participated more than in the rural area for MBSEP. Knowledge, Attitude, Practice (KAP) in the MBSEP Health Promotion in Mosquito Breeding Site Eradication Program Media in health promotion in Mosquito Breeding Site Eradication Program

Recommendations 1.The information of seasonal patterns of DHF incidence can be useful in preparing of DHF control programs to prevent an outbreak. 2.It is necessary to strengthen socio- environmental intervention through several efforts as follows: – Healthy housing condition with sufficient water supplies and solid waste disposal. – Use biological control – Intensive health promotion program that emphasises and encourages people to participate in preventive programs such as the “3M Plus” reduction of mosquito breeding sites program (PSN)

Recommendations Collaboration is needed between health sectors, other institutions and the community targeted by the MBSEP activities Further studies: more comprehensive study designs taking into account the location of water containers inside or around the house and the abundance of dengue vectors in the wet and dry seasons. Other climate factors such wind, heat and lighting (sun) should be considered in future research.
