Abstract

Bandung City is one of the economic centres in Indonesia. Consequently, it has an impact on the population rate, which increases every year. The impact is also directly proportional to the amount of land used for settlement. There are some urban problems, such as congestion, floods, landslides, and some epidemic diseases.

This study aims to map the dengue fever distribution in Bandung city in 2018 based on satellite imagery with the help of the Geographic Information System Weighted Linear Combination model. Using parameters of rainfall, temperature, land cover, and elevation in the city of Bandung. The results of this study show that areas with a high level of vulnerability in Bandung reached a percentage of 41.1%, moderate vulnerability areas were 52.1%, and areas of low vulnerability were 6.8%..
