Abstract
Purpose: This study aims to determine the density of Aedes aegypti larvae based on the knowledge, attitudes and actions of terminal managers at the Regional Terminal Daya Makassar City.
 Methods: The research design used was descriptive observational. There are two samples in this study, namely the container sample and the terminal manager sample. The sampling technique for containers used total sampling method and for terminal managers, purposive sampling method was used. Data were analyzed by univariate.
 Results: The results of the analysis showed that the number of positive containers for larvae was 69 (CI = 33%) with a value of DF = 8 and was a high density category. A total of 9 respondents (39.1%) had good knowledge and 14 respondents (60.9%) had poor knowledge. A total of 10 respondents (43.5%) had a good attitude and as many as 13 respondents (56.5%) had a bad attitude. In terms of action, (4.3%) of the respondents reflected good, while 22 respondents (95.7%) had actions in the unfavorable category.
 Conclusion: It is concluded that increasing public knowledge is essential to eradicate mosquito nests in the community. By enhancing the knowledge of the individuals, the PSN activities carried out routinely can break the life cycle of the mosquitoes that can cause DHF.The level of education that the terminal manager has, the better the ability to absorb the information provided will affect the knowledge held by the terminal manager.
Highlights
The main factors for the risk of disease transmission stem from poor community behavior and environmental conditions that do not meet health requirements, especially environmentally based diseases, one of which is Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF)
The type of research used in this research is descriptive using observational methods to describe the density of Aedes aegypti larvae at the Regional Terminal Daya Makassar City based on the knowledge, attitudes and actions of terminal managers
PSN action is obtained from direct observation of respondents, and the density data of Aedes aegypti larvae were obtained from direct observation on the container using the visual method with the aid of a flashlight and an observation sheet
Summary
The main factors for the risk of disease transmission stem from poor community behavior and environmental conditions that do not meet health requirements, especially environmentally based diseases, one of which is Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF). It is estimated that Asia accounts for 70% of dengue infection, India alone accounts for 34%; 14% occurred in America, more than half occurred in Brazil and Mexico; 16% occur in Africa, and only 0.2% in Oceania (Alvarado-Castro et al, 2017). In Indonesia in 2018, there were 65,602 cases, with the number of deaths as many as 467 people This number decreased from the previous year, namely 68,407 cases and the number of deaths as many as 493 people.
