Proportional and quota sampling methods were used. Data were collected through surveys and questionnaire-based interviews with 210 heads of households in Meranti Pandak Urban Village, Pekanbaru City. Data analysis was conducted using univariate and bivariate methods (Chi-Square Test).Results: The study results indicate a significant association between the risk of infectious diseases and waste management (p-value 0.0001; POR=7.315), environmental sanitation (p-value 0.0001; POR=19.875), Clean and Healthy Living Behavior/PHBS (p-value 0.0001; POR=6.933), and the availability of facilities (p-value 0.0001; POR=11.455).Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between poor waste management and environmental sanitation and the high risk of infectious diseases.
