ABSTRACT
The unavailability of basic sanitation facilities, waste management, and clean water is one of the essential factors influencing dengue in developing countries. However, these important factors are mostly neglected by local government. This article describes the relationship between basic sanitation facilities, including clean water, toilet facilities, and sewage systems (liquid waste) or household solid waste, and the presence of mosquito-breeding places to dengue cases. This study conducted mixed-method research with data collected from the Health District Office and a survey conducted in 2,036 houses. Results showed that factors that influence the existence of a breeding place in the house is the condition of the house, trash and wastewater disposal facilities. Meanwhile, some other factors are related to breeding places outside the home are: latitude, two-story houses, and the availability of trash bins and wastewater facilities. In conclusion, dengue cases and breeding sites are influenced by land use, especially the formation of unplanned housing, and availability of basic sanitation facilities.
