Dengue dengue fever (DBD) is one of the types of infectious diseases caused by viruses and
transmitted through vectors, the dengue virus is part of this disease. One of the causes of
this dengue fever is the poor environmental sanitation around the residents' residences.

(p-value=0.000), there is a relationship between the waste management system and the
incidence of dengue fever (p-value=0.007), and there is a relationship between the
condition of the home environment with the incidence of dengue fever (p-value=0.000) in
