The population were who came to visit the Dawai Health Center, with a total sample of 30 people and 60 controls. Data were obtained using questionnaires, observations, medical record data from laboratory results and analyzed using chi square test and logistic binary regression. Results: Factors that have no effect and risk are job variables (ρ-value = 0.501; OR = 1.496; CI95% = (0.620 - 3.605), education (ρ-value = 0.203; OR = 1.962; CI95% = (0,807 - 4,766), income (ρ-value = 0,941; OR = 0,875; CI95% = (0,364 - 2,105), distance of house (ρ-value = 0,110; OR = 2,286; CI95% = (0,933– 5,599) livestock cages (ρ-value = 0.708; OR = 1.308; CI95% = (0.543 - 3.150). Factors that have no effect but are at risk are standing water (ρ-value = 0.056; OR = 2.875; CI95% = (1,072-7,710) While the factors that influence and risk are the use of wire netting (ρ-value = 0.021; OR = 3.267; CI95% = (1.2283 - 8.316), the type of house wall (ρ-value = 0,021; OR = 3,217; CI95% = (1,282 - 8,076), use of mosquito nets (ρ-value = 0,009; OR = 3,754; CI95% = (1,469 - 9,994) using malaria mosquito repellent (ρ-value = 0.020; OR = 3.208; CI95% = (1,288 - 7,990), going out at night (ρ-value = 0,030; OR = 3,143; CI95% = (1,209 - 8,167). The dominant and risky factor is the use of wire netting, the distance of the house, the use of mosquito nets, using mosquito repellent and going out at night is the dominant factor with the risk of malaria.
