Abstract: 
This study aims to examine the factors contributing to the prevalence of DHF in Kwandang Subdistrict, with a particular focus on age, education, knowledge, residential density, and air temperature. The data were acquired via interviews, questionnaires, and observation. Subsequently, the collected data were subjected to statistical analysis in multiple stages. The results of the research indicate that the p-value for each factor is greater than the value of α = 0.05. The p-value for the age factor is 0.779, for education 0.672, for knowledge 0.257, for residential density 0.244, and for air temperature 0.166. It can thus be concluded that the five factors analyzed in this study, namely age, education, knowledge, residential density, and air temperature, do not have a significant relationship with the incidence of DHF in Kwandang Subdistrict in 2022.
