The emergence of dengue disease were related to environmental conditions and community behavior.  Research purposes known a relationship between environmental sanitation and the incidence of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) in Indonesia. Reseacrch methodology was a secondary research with a literature review design by doing a search on Google Scholar through the stages of research according to the eligibility criteria. Research result obtained 7 journal that discuss environmental sanitation related to the incidence of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). Of the 7 journals that discuss water reservoirs (TPA) there were 3 journals, 2 journals for garbage disposal, and 4 journals for 3M plus action. The results showed that there were a relationship between when the variable and the occurrence of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). There were a relationship beteween environmental sanitation (water storage, garbage disposal, and 3M Plus measures) with the incidence of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF).
