Abstract

At this time there is an increase in urbanization, industrialization, advancement of science and technology, globalization and the rapid development of transportation in Indonesia. Its may bring positive and/or negative impacts on the quality of the environment or ecosystem that will affect the risk of disease occurrence and transmission such as dengue hemorrhagic fever disease. There are 650 dengue hemorrhagic fever cases in Surabaya City in 2015 and increased to 938 cases in 2016. Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever Disease Eradication Program (DHFDEP) is a government program that aims to anticipate the increase in the incidence of DHF cases by controlling the Aedes aegypti mosquito, the main vector that cause dengue. This study aims to evaluate the vector control activities for DHF disease which is part of the DHFDEP. This study used a qualitative approach by selecting 5 public health centers in Surabaya with total respondents of the study were 29 people. The evaluation result is the activity of mosquito vector control and the activity of larval vector control has not been done well. The community has not fully implemented eradication of mosquito breeding nest activities. The community thinks that fogging is the main solution in reducing the number of DHF disease. To solve this problem, cross-sectoral cooperation is required in order to increase community participation, promote health promotion to the community through media that is often used by the community, such as promotion using social media.
