CONTRIBUTION OF CLIMATE FACTORS TO THE INCIDENCE OF DENGUE FEVER IN TOBELO CITY, NORTH HALMAHERA DISTRICT, 2017-2021
Climate change is a primary driver in accelerating certain regions' Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) pandemic. Key climate factors, such as temperature, humidity, and rainfall, significantly contribute to mosquito vectors' spread and infection of the dengue virus. This study was conducted in Tobelo City, North Halmahera Regency, using data from the “DHF Cases and Climate Factors over the Last 5 Years in Tobelo City”. The climate factors examined were rainfall, humidity, and air temperature. A path analysis was utilized to observe the relationship between DHF cases and Climate Factors (rainfall, air humidity, air temperature) in Tobelo City. The climate factors studied are rainfall, humidity, and air temperature. Path analysis was used to see the relationship between dengue fever cases and climate factors (rainfall, air humidity, air temperature) in Tobelo City. The research results show that rainfall (X2) has a direct effect on the incidence of dengue fever (Y1) through temperature (3X) = 0.0816, with a significant contribution of = 0.8046. Humidity has no direct effect on dengue fever (Y) incidence. Meanwhile, indirectly through temperature (X3) = 0.028. There was a positive relationship between humidity and temperature in dengue cases, but the relationship was fragile (29.8%).
