Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is still a major problem in the public health sector, even in 2016 Indonesia was included in the five countries with the highest TB case burden in the world. In 2017, the number of TB cases in Lampung Province was 7,040 cases and one of the obstacles faced was the tendency for TB sufferers to be difficult to open so that many cases were not detected. Based on these facts, a Geographical Information System (GIS) is proposed which can process data into maps to see high risk areas where TB disease was found in Bandar Lampung. It will make it easier for health agencies to make policies in handling or preventing TB disease in Bandar Lampung. In this study, a decision-making system with Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method was also proposed to produce a map of the area with the level of TB risk factors. The criteria used to summarize the weights are TB cases, population density, mortality, healthy and clean behavior, and health facilities. The result of data processing is presented in a color polygon map that has 4 levels of risk factors, namely very high, high, medium, and low.
