At present, spatial analysis has been used on epidemiology. Spatial analysis was used to determine the environmental risk that influence to transmission of Filariasis. The aim of the study was to identify, at industrial area, the environment determinant that are associated with Filariasis cases in Pekalongan City. The geocoding method was applied on the prevalence of cases to determine the pattern of spatial. Spatial autocorrelation was used to determine the effect of the environment on filariasis transmission. The kernel method was used to determine the density of filariasis cases. Based on the spatial analysis, the statistical values associated with the correlation between the risk of filariasis transmission and environmental factors were obtained. The correlation value of the influence of the environment on the transmission of Filariasis was statistically significant, this coefficient is 0.312. The value of R indicates that the spatial pattern of filariasis cases forms a cluster pattern. The Moran’s index calculation obtained a positive spatial autocorrelation value of 0.44 with z-score is 16.05 and P-value is 0.00. Spatial autocorrelation was useful to determining the level of risk transmission of filariasis in Pekalongan City which may help to adopt effective control strategies in filariasis eradication programs in Pekalongan City.
