SPATIAL ASSESSMENT OF CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACT FOR DENGUE FEVER DISEASE DISTRIBUTION IN EAST JAVA PROVINCE: CASE STUDY UTILIZATION OF GEOSPATIAL INFORMATION FOR PUBLIC HEALTH

摘要

Some of climate change effects have been appeared, such as increasing average temperature of the earth, anomalies of rainy and dry season and so on. Therefore, it is important to do more observation, in-depth research and analysis related to climate change influences on human life.
