Abstract

Malaria occurs in 106 countries in the world with 97 of them are malaria endemic countries including Indonesia. East Nusa Tenggara province is one of the provinces in Indonesia with malaria incidence of 6.8 and prevalence of 23.3. South Central Timor District is one of malaria endemic districts with Annual Parasites Incidence in year 2017 equal to 2,7 per 1000 population with case number 1,301.This research aims to determine the relation of Topographic Wetness Index category (Ranged Very High => 8.8, High = 7.0 – 8.8, Medium = 6.0 – 7.0, Low = 5.2 – 6.0, Very Low = <5.2) with the category of Endemic Value Annual Parasite Incidence (Ranged High => 5, Medium = 1-5, Low = <1) in 278 villages in South Central Timor district. The method of this study employs spatial analysis with DEM 30 Meter data and analysed by SAGA GIS application and then using Kendall's Tau test statistic analysis to observe the relation between TWI category and API category. The result obtained was linkage between TWI category and API with τ = 0,122, sig = 0,034, α <0,05. Thus, further analysis of TWI data with Endemic breeding place is needed to determine Malaria endemic areas.
