Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is a disease caused by the Dengue virus transmitted from person to person through mosquito bites. This study aims to see whether there is a spatial autocorrelation of DHF incidence in Jombang district and if spatial patterns are formed. The population in this study consists of 21 sub-districts, which were determined using the total sampling method. Data analysis was conducted using the Global Moran's I Test and the Local Indicator of Spatial Autocorrelation (LISA) Test. The results show that there is no spatial autocorrelation of DHF incidence in Jombang Regency in 2021 (Z = 0.078). LISA analysis shows that Kudu sub-district is an outlier, which means it can affect the surrounding sub-district. The results also show that there is a spatial autocorrelation between the population density and DHF incidence (Z = 1.9815), with the clustered spatial pattern clustered. This means that sub-districts with a high population density are surrounded by sub-districts that have a high DHF incidence. Related parties, in this case Jombang Regency Health Office need to pay more attention to sub-districts that have high DHF incidence and are surrounded by sub-districts with low DHF incidence and need to pay attention to areas with high population density because dengue transmission is more likely to happen in areas with high population density.
