Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is an endemic disease in Semarang city that reported cases of DBD every year in Mijen District. This study aims to analyze the relationship of container characteristics and behavior of eradicating mosquito nests janitors to the density of larvae of Aedes spp In Public Places In Mijen District, Semarang City. This research used an analytical observational method with a cross-sectional design. Survey of larvae using the single method. The samples used were 100 public places and 100 janitors at public places. Data were processed using chi-square test with a 95% confidence level. The results of the study obtained that each variable has a different p-value that is, container type (p value = 0.043), container location (p value = 0.030), container cap condition (p value = 0.000), container color (p value = 0.309), container base material (p value = 0.254), knowledge (p value = 0.001), attitude (p value = 0.006), and practice (p value = 0.035). House Index (HI), Container Index (CI), and Bretau Index (BI) results in public places in Mijen District were 54%, 26.47%, and 63% in high-density categories, respectively. The Larva-free index is 46%, still very far from the national target of ≥ 95%. This study concludes that there is a relationship between the type, location, condition of container cap, knowledge, attitude, and practice of janitors related to eradicating mosquito nests, and there is no relationship between the color and basic material of containers with the density of larvae of Aedes spp in public places in Mijen District.
