초록
The number of malaria cases has been undulating for the past 10 years in Korea since the reemergenceof malaria in early 1990’s. Considering the spatial variations of malaria incidence across the northmost borderareas near the demilitarized zone (DMZ), the occurrence of the disease seems to be influenced by the natural andhuman environment in the region. Malaria is an infectious disease that is transmitted to humans by the bites ofvector-mosquitoes that carry malaria parasites, and its incidence rate depends on specific climatic andsociodemographic factors. This study found that the spatial characteristics of malaria incidence have varieddepending on relative proportions of mosquito habitats, distance between mosquito habitats and human residence,the physical and sociodemographic environments of the city by urbanization, and local topography.
