Abstract:
"Indonesia Bebas Malaria 2030" is the Indonesian government's target proclaimed by the Indonesian Ministry of Health at this time. This set target is inversely proportional to several discoveries found in eastern Indonesia, especially East Nusa Tenggara. For example, in 2022 in Sikka Regency, there will be an increase in malaria cases reaching 55 people. Based on research conducted in Africa, it is known that the treatment of malaria can not only be overcome by medication but by improving the physical environment such as housing and the surrounding environment. Therefore, an article search was carried out in several reputable journals for the past ten years to determine the influence of external and internal environmental settings on the incidence of malaria, especially in the East Nusa Tenggara region. From the search that has been done, it is known that environmental factors provide and biological factors are the factors that most influence the thermal characteristics of the incidence of malaria in NTT.
