Abstract

Background: The problems lies not in spite of the sanitary residence neighborhood into a place or source of sanitation issues. The sanitation problems as the density of larvae that are in the environment around the house. The aim of this study was to analyze association between housing sanitation with the axistence of Aedes sp. larvae in working area of Public Health Center of Kutaraya, Kayu Agung.

Method: This study used a cross-sectional design, this study population was a entire house or building which is located in Public Health Center of Kutaraya. The sample amounted to 101 homes and buildings  calculated with formula hypothesis test two proportions. Sampling by cluster random sampling technique. The collecting data used questionnaires and checklist. Data analysis was univariate, bivariate analysis using chi square test and Fisher Exact.

Result: Data analysis was perfomend by bivariate was a correlation between the presence of second-hand goods with larvae density ρ-value (0.001), the presence of water tanks/containers with larvae density by ρ-value (0.000) and there was a correlation between the presence of clothing hanging at a density larvae Aedes sp. with ρ-value (0.002). DF value at level 6 and 7, HI 43% and BI 72%.

Conclusion: Variables related to the density of larvae Aedes sp. namely the existence of thrift, the presence of water tanks/containers and the existence of clothes hanging. We recommend  to research include keeping and attention environmental sanitation in order to avoid transmitting dengue mosquito breeding sites so as to reduce the number population mosquitoes.

Keywords: Environmental of sanitation, Aedes sp. mosquito larvae.
