Abstract

Introduction: Health field development in Indonesia still has double load in alleviating the transmision of contagious virus infection in various problems that are not solved yet, one of them is vector disease dengue hemorrhagic fever. Vector disease dengue hemorrhagic fever is carried directly by Aedes Aegypti mosquito. Methods: This research discussed the location through temporal by involving the administration as the limitation in the research during the period of 2015 until 2019. The occurrence information was conducted using retrospective approach through Geographic Information System to see the occurrence cluster from the data of surveilance dengue period, while related to the occurrence position information was obtained by using global position system to see the coordinae of the occurrence. Results: Obtained in this research explain that the number of occurrence cases confirmed from 2015 until 2019 were 4.699 dengue cases with highest case was in 2018 achieving 1062 cases and the lowest case was in 2015 with 744 cases. The sub district data information with the highest case during 5 years period was obtained at East Ilir Sub District 1 and Sematang Borang Sub District. Conclusion: Geographic Information System helps to model spatially from the result and the track record of the case occurrence of dengue hemorrahgic fever temporally, this spatial information can be used as early warning related to the case alleviation and the potential of finding the development of aedes aegypti breeding which can be used by the stakeholders and the related parties related to dengue surveillance. © 2022 UPM Press.
