“…It is well known that TB bacilli can survive in the air before being inhaled by a new host. Accordingly, the ventilation condition determines the transmission of TB in indoor environments related to free air circulation [32,33]. In our research area, an urban setting, some of the residents built houses without a proper plan, resulting in the houses being huddled together with poor air circulation.…”

The rate of incidence of Tuberculosis (TB) in Indonesia is the ninth highest in the world. Poor environmental conditions, mainly related to air circulation and improper behaviour, were recognized as the risk factors in this country. A case-control study of 69 participants was conducted in the Umbulharjo I Public Health Centre of Yogyakarta during January-August 2019. Data collection was conducted using a tested questionnaire. Analysis was performed using Chi-square and Logistic regression. Three variables were identified as potential risk factors for TB: family history of TB, smoking behaviour, and ventilation condition. The results of the logistic regression test revealed that people who smoke have the greatest risk of TB infection. Health promotion needs to be enforced to educate both patients and their family to prevent the transmission of TB.

Getting urban density to work in informal settlements in Africa

The drawbacks of crowded informal settlements stand in stark contrast to the theoretical promise that urban density is the key to building more productive, sustainable and resilient cities. African cities cannot be expected to prosper while the majority of residents live in sprawling informal settlements with no prospect of improvement beyond the provision of basic services. There is a strong case for governments to embrace a broader reconstruction agenda in order to harness the potential of density for all-round progress. The core proposition of the paper is that urban population growth would be accommodated more effectively by building upwards and not merely outwards. We consider the circumstances under which this is true and how the state and communities might refashion conditions in informal settlements despite their restricted resources. To expand upwards requires participatory planning, more tenure security, settlement redesign, and in-situ investments in public services and housing.
