Abstract

Many food stalls lack the cleanliness of the surrounding environment so that it becomes a supporting factor for the development of disease vectors. Based on a preliminary study conducted in December 2017, it was seen a collection of flies on five food stalls around the city of Banjarbaru. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between environmental factors, sanitation facilities, and sanitation behavior with the level of density of flies in food stalls in Banjarbaru City. This study was an observational analytic study with a cross sectional design. The results showed that the density of flies with high, medium and low categories were found in 3 stalls (6%), 18 stalls (36%) and 29 stalls (58%). There is no correlation between temperature, humidity, light intensity, clean water supply, waste management, and sanitation behavior with the level of fly density (p value> 0.05). There is a relationship between toilet facilities and sewerage with the level of fly density (p value <0.05).
