The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that influence the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis disease in the working area of Batunadua Health Center, Padangsidimpuan City. This type of research is analytic survey research with cross sectional design to find the relationship between the independent variables (occupancy density, ventilation, room temperature) and the incidence of pulmonary TB in the working area of Batunadua Health Center, Padangsidimpuan City. Determination of sample size using total sampling technique that is the sample in this study were all patients who visited the pulmonary TB room in Batunadua Health Center in 2018 which is 45 people. The results showed that there was a correlation between occupancy density and the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in the work area of Batunadua Health Center Padangsidimpuan Batunadua District with a P value (0.001 <0.05); There is a relationship of ventilation with the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in the work area of Batunadua Health Center, Padangsidsimpuan Batunadua District with a P value (0.025 <0.05); There is a correlation between temperature and incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in the working area of Batunadua Health Center, Padangsidsimpuan Batunadua District with a P value (0.023 <0.05).
