Environmental, demographics, geography, to health system-related aspects can inf luence the incidence of tuberculosis. The objectives of this study are to know the correlation between environmental, health services and population-related variables with tuberculosis incidence rate and map the tuberculosis risk distribution in 78 sub-districts in Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta, Indonesia. This study is a cross-sectional study with an ecological approach and using a mapping approach. Variables in this study include population density, altitude, tuberculosis treatment success rate, health facilities, health personnel, education, and population growth rate. Data in this study were analyzed using univariate and bivariate (Rank Spearman) tests, then depicted on a map. There are correlations between population density, education, population growth rate, altitude, and health facilities with tuberculosis incidence rate (r = 0.663, 0.654,-0.495,-0.274, and-0.267). Tuberculosis treatment success rate and health personnel show no correlation with tuberculosis incidence rate (r =-0.020;-0.002). Strengthening of TB programs and cross-sectoral measures are needed to control TB, especially in high-risk areas. Research on other ecological-related factors and further spatial analysis can also be carried out to provide input for TB control. © 2023, Universitas Negeri Semarang. All rights reserved.
