Abstract
Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a disease that affects the population in urban areas. However several recent studies have shown that the incidence of dengue increased in rural areas, whereas urban areas act as viral reservoirs within smaller communities. This study aims to to analyze spatial and mapping distribution of DHF with Geographic Information System (GIS) in Panongan Subdistrict, Tangerang. This study is classified as a descriptive analytic study with simple random sampling method, with a sample size of 95. Data is analyzed using spatial and statistical analysis. The results showed that the largest number of respondents came from Mekar Bakti Village. It is recommended that further prevention of DHF needs to be done by protecting ourself from mosquito bites, wear clothes that support arms and legs and use mosquito nets and mosquito repellent when traveling in the tropics.
