Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a significant public health challenge in Indonesia, including in Makassar City, which reported an increase of 291 cases in 2024. This study aimed to estimate the relative risk of DHF across 15 districts of Makassar by incorporating covariates such as population density, distance to the city center, and the number of hospitals, using a Bayesian Conditional Autoregressive (CAR) Localised approach. The data were obtained from the publication Makassar City in Figures 2025, issued by the Central Statistics Agency. Spatial autocorrelation analysis with Moran’s I indicated significant clustering of DHF cases. Model selection was conducted using the Deviance Information Criterion (DIC), Watanabe–Akaike Information Criterion (WAIC), and group-level area coverage. The results showed that the best-fitting model was the CAR Localised model with distance as a covariate (M9), specified at G = 3 with hyperprior IG (1; 0.01). Distance exhibited a negative association with DHF incidence, suggesting that the farther a district is from the city center, the lower its relative risk. Among the districts, Rappocini exhibited the highest relative risk followed by Panakkukang, while the lowest risks were observed in Sangkarrang Islands. These findings provide valuable insights for designing spatially targeted DHF prevention and control strategies in Makassar City.
