GIS is a tool that can be used for decision
support, including in the control of vectorrelated
diseases, such as multiple studies on the
use of GIS as a tool of policy making in Malaria
in Zambia (Chanda, 2012). Likewise, the
mapping of leptospirosis cases can be used as
a guide for decision making control programs
and also treatment of leptospirosis, primarily
to determine the priority of handling area. GIS
analysis has been widely used in various studies
to control the leptospirosis disease. One of the
benefits of GIS analysis is to detect the spread
of leptospirosis cases as early as possible so that
it can be used as a control strategy in terms of
areal and to identify areas at risk by assigning a
pattern of disease as the location of the disease
source as well as to measure the risk factors
(Sumanta, 2015 ; Jontari, 2014).
