Abstract

Pneumonia disease is one type of disease that many causes death at toddlers’ age in various regions in the world, including Indonesia, even Makassar City. This disease is often found in areas that have poor physical environment quality. One indicator of environmental quality is the physical condition of the house. Therefore, this paper aims to illustrate the relationship between the physical conditions of the house building with the incidence of pneumonia disease in toddlers of the poor in Makassar City. This study included observational analytic with the case-control approach, is epidemiological study design studying the relationship between exposure (factor research) and disease, in this case, the exposure is ventilation, humidity, natural lighting, against pneumonia by comparing case group and control group based on the status of exposure. The method of analysis used is Chi-Square test with the degree of significance (α = 0.05). The results showed that there was a relation between ventilation area (p-value = 0.007), humidity (p-value = 0.001), and natural lighting (p-value = 0.007) with incidence of pneumonia in poor children in Makassar City area. Therefore, improving the physical condition of the building (wide ventilation, humidity, and natural lighting) is necessary optimized, so that pneumonia disease does not develop, especially in slums in Makassar City.
