Abstract

Muara Gembong is located on the north coast of Java Island, close to the city of Jakarta, and has a relatively high threat of environmental health degradation. In the Muara Gembong area, land control and land conversion are the main problems for water quality in residential areas, apart from that, the water quality of the Citarum River which passes through the area in several locations is polluted so that it cannot be used as clean water. The study^s goal is to investigate the vulnerability and factors impacting the health resilience of populations who utilize groundwater daily. This research uses qualitative and quantitative correlational. Data collection techniques using questionnaires on 40 respondents who live in the Pantai Mekar Village area, Muara Gembong District, West Java. There are 3 hypotheses proposed and processed using SPSS. This study found that the environmental health of the coastal area of Muara Gembong District, West Java, including sanitary facilities and clean water, is still very concerning. This lack of optimal water sanitation is indicated by the vulnerability to infectious diseases and infectious diseases in the community. Other research results are (1) there is a relationship between knowledge of groundwater quality and community health resilience (0.000 < 0.05), (2) there is a relationship between water environmental sanitation behavior in coastal areas and the health resilience of communities using coastal groundwater (0.002 < 0.05) and (3) ) there is a relationship between groundwater quality knowledge and environmental sanitation behavior in coastal areas with the health resilience of groundwater user communities (0.001<0.05). The contribution of groundwater quality knowledge and coastal water environmental sanitation behavior to the health resilience of coastal groundwater user communities is 65.9%.
