Abstract

Bonetambung Island is one of small islands of Spermonde Island Group that had limited access to sea transportations and unavailable environmental sanitation facilities. This study aimed to map environmental health risks to identify the areas of environmental health hazard in Bonetambung Island, Makassar. This study was observational descriptive. Respondents in this study were all households in Bonetambung Island as many as 102 households taken by exchautive sampling method. The result showed that the environmental health hazards in Bonetambung Island were hazard related to the source of clean water (71,1%), domestic wastewater (71,2%) and the ownership of garbage (72,5%). Additionally, some unhealthy behaviors that provided an opportunity for exposure to hazards were not-washing-hand-with-soap behavior (54.2%), open defecation behavior (62.7%), not processing and managing household waste (96.1%), and not-treat-drinking-water behavior (25.5%). So that, the mapping of environmental health risks in Bonetambung Island were very high risk category located in RT 03, high risk category located in RT 02, and low risk category in RT 01.

Abstract

Background:Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) has emerged as the leading cause of death among infectious diseases globally. This is attributed to a complex interaction of factors, including host-related risk factors, infecting agents, and environmental conditions. The Southeast Asia and West Pacific regions account for 58% of all tuberculosis cases, with Indonesia reporting the second highest prevalence of tuberculosis globally (10%), following India, which accounts for 23% of global cases. Objective:This study aimed to investigate the risk factors associated with the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis on small islands in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Methods:This research employed a case-control study design. Several explanatory variables were considered: age, gender, knowledge, nutritional status, occupant density, ventilation area, humidity levels, and type of flooring. The occurrence of pulmonary tuberculosis was designated as the dependent variable. The study sample consisted of 240 respondents, with 120 cases and 120 controls, all residing on three small islands—Sembilan Island, Balang Lompo Island, and Salemo Island—all sharing similar characteristics. Results:The study identified several factors associated with an increased risk of pulmonary tuberculosis. These factors included gender (OR = 1.71, 95% CI 0.61-4.77), knowledge (OR = 3.143, 95% CI 1.06-9.26), occupant density (OR = 1.52, 95% CI 0.42-5.47), area of ventilation (OR = 6.00, 95% CI 1.17-30.72), humidity (OR = 3.763, 95% CI 1.03-13.64), and type of floor (OR = 1.144, 95% CI 0.41-3.16). In contrast, age and nutritional status were not identified as risk factors for pulmonary tuberculosis. Conclusion:Environmental factors such as occupant density, area of ventilation, humidity, and type of floor were found to be significant risk factors for the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in small islands of South Sulawesi. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions addressing these modifiable environmental conditions to reduce the burden of tuberculosis.

Abstract

Recent urban dengue programs increasingly move beyond larval indices, yet many interventions still underuse container-specific pupal productivity to prioritize household breeding habitats. This study quantified which domestic containers contribute most to Aedes aegypti pupal output in Antang Village, Makassar, to guide targeted and cost-effective dengue vector control at the family level. A cross-sectional entomological survey was conducted in 100 households selected through proportional multistage sampling. All indoor and outdoor water-holding containers were counted and inspected; larvae and pupae were collected, reared for species confirmation, and analyzed using standard entomological indices and container-specific pupal contributions. Of 724 containers examined, 87 (12%) were larva-positive and 72 (10%) were pupa-positive. The House Index was 43%, the Container Index 12%, and the Breteau Index 87, indicating substantial transmission potential. Pupal production was highly concentrated: buckets (39.92% of containers) accounted for 61.11% of pupae, and bath tanks (6.63%) contributed 18.06%, whereas flowerpots/vases were common (38.26%) but produced only 11.11% of pupae; other container types each contributed ≤4.17%. These findings suggest that stable, longer-retention water habitats disproportionately support development to the pupal stage and likely adult emergence. Targeting household actions to buckets and bath tanks—covering, routine draining and scrubbing, improving water-storage practices, and using larvicide only when emptying is not feasible—should deliver the greatest reduction in adult vectors per unit effort while aligning with Islamic family health values emphasizing cleanliness (ṭahārah), prevention of harm, and shared responsibility.
