Home Environmental Factors with the Presence of Disease Transmission Mosquito Vectors in Traditional Villages, Indonesia

Indonesia is an archipelagic country that has many tribes and traditional villages. This makes the variables that affect the presence of disease-transmitting mosquito vectors very complex. This study aims to observe traditional villages in arranging community-housing patterns that have the potential for mosquito-borne diseases. The study used a cross-sectional design with a sample of 67 houses in Segenter Village, employing a simple random sampling method for sampling technique. The results found that the determining factor associated with the presence of disease-transmitting mosquitoes is the location of the kitchen outside the house (Exp β= 2.340). These factors are reinforced by the presence of foodstuff storage room (bale inan) (Exp β= 2.140), the absence of an insulating door in the house (Exp β= 2.130), the location of the bathroom outside the house (Exp β = 1.912), the roof of the house made of woven (Exp β= 1.764), traditional house type (Exp β= 1.650), mixed house type (Exp β= 1.413), and wicker house walls (Expβ= 0.113). These factors contribute to 77.79 of the presence of disease-transmitting mosquito vectors in traditional villages. The results of this study can be used to develop an early warning system and promote health tourism through a house-screening program. © 2023, Universitas Negeri Semarang. All rights reserved.
