Analysis of Malaria Incidence in Banyumas Using Spacial-Temporal Approach
Abstract: Malaria still
becomes a public health problem in Indonesia although has declined the last
decades. The incidences of malaria in Banyumas shows unstable transmission and
still risk of epidemic . Thus, the spatial and temporal distribution is
required as part of efforts towards the elimination of malaria in Banyumas.
Temporal spatial statistical methods is used to identify a group of malaria
incidence at the district level. Purely spatial clusters of malaria incidence
from 2004 to 2015 shows that the disease is not distributed randomly in the
study area. A total of nine districts of high risk is determined by analysis of
Morans I. The analysis showed that by the Morans I test, there is spatial
autocorrelation found in the percentage malaria incidence from 2004 to 2015 in
Banyumas. The use of the model can provide a means to detect the spatial
distribution, temporal, and spatiotemporal malaria, as well as to identify
areas of high risk of malaria. This research may help in prioritizing resources
on high-risk areas for malaria control in the future and towards the
elimination of malaria in Banyumas.
