Relationship Between Climate Change and Tropical Disease in Poor Coastal Area, Serdang Bedagai
Destanul Aulia The climate change in Indonesia has affected the fishing activity of fisheries in Indonesia, because the activity of fisheries is strongly influenced by climate change. The change in climate in Indonesia led to changes within the pattern of wind speed, current speed, precipitation, sea-surface temperature and wave height. This conditions will affect the income of the fishermen, who are among the poorest Indonesian. In addition to causing loss of income, climate change also threatens the health of this fishing community. In order to understand the community?s perception about climate change and its affect on the spread of tropical disease and the relationship of both, this survey study conducted.
