Abstract

The Klaten Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia is an leptospirosis endemic area. This study’s purpose is to spatially describe the abiotic and biotic environmental factors with the Leptospirosis incidence in the Klaten Regency in 2018. This was a descriptive observational with cross-sectional approach conducted in the Klaten Regency, Central Java, in 2019 with 59 respondents. The results revealed that the percentage of abiotic environment factors such as poor waste disposal facilities, poor gutter conditions, river <200 meters, and flooding history, namely 35.6%; 41.2%; 54.2%; and 6.8%, respectively. The highest leptospirosis cases occurred in April 2018 with 325 mm of rainfall, average temperature of 270C, average humidity of 82.3%, and altitude of 100-200 MASL (79.7%). Meanwhile, biotic factors included rat nest existence (100%), having pets at risk (32.2%), and ≥3 types of vegetation (79.7%). In conclusion, most respondents' dominant environmental factors were presence of rat nests, ≥3 vegetation types, and river availability <200 meters.
