Abstract

Filariasis (elephantiasis disease) is an infectious disease caused by a worm and transmitted by mosquitoes of Mansonia, Anopheles, Culex, and Armigeres. The incidence rate of filariasis in Banyuasin shows that the trend of filariasis patients increasing every year. In the year of 1983-2000, the Mf Rate average was 2.02%. Risk factors that could be affecting the spread of filariasis were population density, altitude area, air humidity, air temperature, poor families, health services facility and well trained health personnel withfilariasiscases as well as individual factors that causedfilariasis. This study aimed to describe the spread of filariasis and determine the vulnerability of areaspasially. Research method was by ecology design with the data from Health Office and cantonal data from Regional Development Planning Office in Banyuasin. Cases and cantonal data will bescored and analyzed using overlay analysis by analysis software with Quantum GIS 2.8.1. Research shows that the filariasis cases clumped in the adjacent and high vulnerability districts of Suak Tapeh ,Sembawa, and Talang Kelapa. Population and housing density isthe most affecting factor of filariasis vulnerability zone in Banyuasin. In order to reduce and eliminate filariasis, the high filariasis vulnerability area need to be main focused by Health Department in Banyuasin. Keywords: Spatial; Vulnerability; Filariasis; Overlay
