Abstract :

The aim of this study was to analyze the social capital�s effect toward community sustainability awareness in order to prevent Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever in Sidoarjo District. Cross sectional study was performed. Family members in Tanggulangin�s (5.097 households) and Buduran�s (5.279 households) Primary Health Care were the unit analyses. 296 households who live in the working areas of Tanggulangin�s and Buduran�s Primary Health Care were participated in this study. Multistage random sampling was used. Twelve social capital�s sub–variables and sustainability awareness variable were measured. The instruments were self–developments questionnaires based on the Spellerberg�s (1997) and Suharto�s (2005) theories. The questionnaire�s validity and reliability were achieved. Mann–Whitney, Regression Logistic, and SEM were used as analysis test. There was no difference in the social capital in both areas (p–value 0,911). There was difference in the sustainability awareness (p–value 0,000). Eight social capital�s sub–variables were influenced sustainability awareness (values (0,0001), sense of identity (0,0001), norm (0,0001), trust systems (0,0001), cooperation (0,0001), attitude (0,0001), perception (0,0001), and expectation (0,0001). In sum, social capital is community sustainability awareness activator in order to prevent and eradicate the incident of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever. Therefore, strengthening eight social capital�s sub–variables due to increasing community sustainability awareness in the endemic Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever areas is needed.
