The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between environmental sanitation and the incidence of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) at the Pagaralam City Drainage Health Center in 2025. The research method used Cross Sectional with a sample of 162 respondents taken by accidental sampling. The results showed that the variables related to the incidence of dengue from environmental sanitation were the environmental condition of the house p value 0.004, water reservoir p value 0.013, and livestock cage sanitation p value 0.000. There was no relationship between SPAL and the waste disposal system with the incidence of dengue.
