- Background : The problem of malnutrition is the major contributor to the under five children mortality. According to WHO (2002), malnutrition caused 54% of infant mortality. Therefore, many countries in the world commit to reduce the number of malnutrition in which it is one of the targets in millennium development (Millennium Development Goals). On the other hand, Indonesia has committed to reduce malnutrition so that in 2015, the number of malnutrition drops until 18%. Spatial information system is a tool which can be used for conducting spatial approach and analyzing nutritional issues specifically in a region. Objective : To determine the spatial distribution of the nutritional status of children (underweight, stunting and wasting) and analyzes the factors that influence the relationship of nutrition status. Method : This is a descriptive study with analytical study design through geographic information system approach (SIG). The samples were underweighting children, stunning children and wasting children. The data were collected through interviews and observations. Results: Nutritional problems such as underweight, stunting and wasting were distributed in East Rasane. There is a significant relationship (p-value<0,05) among the nutritional problems of the children in East Rasane and: diet pattern, infections (Diarrhea and ARI), freshwater supply, and sanitation. There were found the grouping of nutritional problems of underweight and stunting (spatially and temporally) (p-value<0,05). The characteristics of precarious nutrition area in East Rasane were shown by the number of infection (Diarrhea and ARI). Conclusion : Geographic information system is a suitable tool to overcome the nutritional problems regionally. The nutritional problems on under five year old children were influenced by the factors of poor environment, inappropriate diet pattern, and high number of infection. Nutritional problem identification would be easier by applying spatial information system. It is useful for decision making and priority making for nutritional problems quickly and accurately.
