Abstract: This study aims to find neighborhood relations associated with the incidence of malaria. The study was observational with cross sectional study. Samples were taken with exhausted sampling technique. Total population of 515 people with a total sample of 254 people. Analysis of the data used is the Chi Square test with logistic regression. The results showed that environmental factors in the home associated with the incidence of malaria is being screened at home ventilation (p = 0.049). There are no factors outside the home environment associated with the incidence of malaria. Cultural social environmental factors associated with malaria incidence is outside the customs house at night (p = 0.021). The variables that most influenced the incidence of malaria is the habit of going out at night (Wald = 5.036, p = 0.034). This study suggests that the need for community empowerment programs should be sought in particular increasing public awareness of the importance of managing malaria free environment, eliminating breeding place, improving housing conditions to improve prevention practices to reduce human contact with mosquitoes Anopheles.
