Abstract

Malaria is an infectious disease caused by the Plasmodium parasite and transmitted through infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. The morbidity of malaria is determined by Annual Parasite Incidence (API) per year. A region with high malaria cases can spread malaria to other regions. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the spatial regimes and factors that significantly influence the spread of malaria in Indonesia of 2017. Spatial regime is a method obtained by clustering the coefficient values from the well-known method in modeling spatial varying relationship namely geographically weighted regression (GWR). The data used in this study are malaria Passive Case Detection (PCD) from Puskesmas throughout Indonesia in 2017. The results show three groups which can be classified as regencies/cities with low, medium moderate and high API, while slide positivity rate and annual blood examination are predictors who influent API numbers in Indonesia significantly.
