Spatial Analysis of Dengue Virus in the Highland and Lowland Areas Using Remote Sensing Technology

East Java was endemic dengue area which often generates the extraordinary event. Health Depatment of East Java Province showed the number cases of dengue fever in 2015 about 20,832 cases. This shows an increase 124.31% if compared to the same month in 2014 with 9,287 cases. We analyzed and compared case of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) among the highland and lowland areas especially in Malang and Sumenep to determine the factors that influence dengue cases. Geographical information system, remote sensing images technology, and related data were used to classify city areas according to land cover, land surface temperature, rainfall, population density and bulding density. Dengue cases on both areas were dominated by high population density, high rainfall and low vegetation cover. Crosstab analysis on the highland showed population density and built up areas correlated significantly with dengue cases. On the lowland area, building density and rainfall affected with dengue cases.
