  • Background: Pulmonary tuberculosis remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the world, including Indonesia. In South Kalimantan, an increasing incidence of tuberculosis up to the year 2010 smear-positive reached 3,237 cases, the largest was in Banjarmasin City which reached 642 cases and the detection rate still low, which is 52,1%. Transmission of pulmonary tuberculosis is droplet nuclei and influenced by environmental sanitation conditions. Banjarmasin City had the number of population 638,902 with the greatest population density than urban / other districts in South Kalimantan, which is 8,874 population per km 2 , with healthy housing only 62.7%. In addition to environmental factors, the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis is also influenced by community behavior that vulnerable to the infection of pulmonary tuberculosis. Objective and method : To investigate the relationship of environmental risk factors of the house (residential density, the air temperature, humidity, ventilation, and natural lighting), smoking behavior and alcohol consumption at tuberculosis patients with the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in Banjarmasin City. This study was an analytic observational with case control study. The subjects were tuberculosis patients with smear-positive as a case group and smear-negative as a control group. Data analysis was performed using univariable, bivariable and multivariable. Result: Result analysis showed that residential density, the air temperature, ventilation, natural lighting, smoking behavior and alcohol consumption significantly associated with the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in Banjarmasin City. While the humidity was not significantly associated. Conclusion: The most dominant risk factors in the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in Banjarmasin City were inappropriate of the air temperature in subjects with a history of household contact with tuberculosis patient, natural lighting, and house ventilation.
