Dengue fever is one of the health problems in Palembang City. The findings of DHF cases in Palembang City in 2020 decreased followed by an increase in awareness of DHF cases in the previous year. The use of spatial analysis assists in mapping the proportions of DHF disease so that it can facilitate the preparation of DHF disease control programs based on how important the DHF problem is in the sub-district work area. This research is an ecological study using a spatial analysis approach and correlation test to see the relationship between DHF incidence and demographic factors (population density and economic status) and environmental factors (rainfall, temperature, humidity, and larvae-free rate) by analyzing city aggregate data.The research results showed that there was no correlation between population density, rainfall, and economic status on the incidence of DHF with a p value > 0.05. There is no correlation between the free number of larvae and the incidence of DHF in 2018-2020. Meanwhile, there is a correlation between the free larvae rate and the incidence of dengue hemorrhagic fever in 2017 and 2021 with p-value 0,002 and 0,013. The results of the bivariate analysis show that there is no relationship between demographic and environmental factors and the incidence of dengue hemorrhagic fever in Palembang City in 2017-2021.
