Abstract

Purpose: The dengue epidemic has an increasing number of sufferers and spreading areas along with increased mobility and population density. Therefore, it is necessary to control and prevent Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) by mapping a DHF contingency plan. However, mapping a dengue contingency plan is not easy because clinical and managerial issues, vector control, preventive measures, and surveillance must be considered. This work introduces a cluster-based dengue contingency planning method by grouping patient cases according to their environment and demographics, then mapping out a plan and selecting the appropriate plan for each area.

Methods: We used clustering with silhouette scoring to select features, the best cluster formation, the best clustering method, and cluster severity. Cluster severity is carried out by levelling the attributes of the average value to low, medium, high, and extreme, which are related to the plans each region sets for village type and season type.

Result: In five years of data (2016-2020) ±15K cases from Semarang City, Indonesia, feature selection results show that environmental and demography group features have the biggest silhouette score. With these features, it is found that K-Means has a high silhouette score compared to DBSCAN and agglomerative with three optimum numbers of clusters. K-Means also successfully mapped the cluster severity and assigned the cluster to a suitable contingency policy.

Novelty: Most of the research on DHF cases is about predicting DHF cases and measuring the risk of DHF occurrence. There are not many studies that discuss the policy recommendations for dengue control.
