The data indicate that the incidence of DHF in Palu City in 2014-2016 fluctuates. This research aims to find out the Environmental Risk Analysis and the Use of insect repellent on Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever at Kamonji Public Health Center Palu. The type of research used in this research is observational research using case control method. The case subjects were DHF patients and the control group was people who did not suffer from DHF in the working area of Kamonji Public Health Center. Case samples were 93 and control 93 by matching sex, age and case location. Sampling was done with total sampling. The research analysis used odd ratio test. The results show that the use of mosquito repellent (OR=3.870 and CI=2.099-7.138), waste processing (OR=2.895 and CI=1.593-5.261), water reservoir (TPA) (OR=2.005 and CI=1.118-3.596), exposure (OR=3.018 and CI=1.660-5.486), and ventilation (OR=2.292 and CI=1.274-4.123) is a risk factor of DHF at Kamonji Public Health Center Area Palu City in 2016. To cope with the risk of DHF incidence should always behave healthy and clean the environment in around the home.
