| Summary: | Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever is the disease which rapidly spreads and causes death. Research to determine the success of controlling and preventing the disease in the community needs to be carried out. The research objective is to analyze the Social Capital of Health Cadres and the Community Figures, as well as their roles in DHF prevention and control in urban and suburban endemic areas of Semarang City. This research adopted a mix method technique, with quantitative and qualitative descriptive approaches. The data collection was carried out by filling out a questionnaire via google form. The social capital of the community figures greatly influenced the role of cadres, and their activeness in overcoming the disease. Therefore, caring, mutual trust, and good social relationship between cadres and the community, contributed to DHF control sustainability. Involvement of all parties in the prevention of DHF at the village level is also supported by the motivation and role model of stakeholders. © SEM 2022.
