The data were collected by questionnaire, a workshop, a connoisseurship and a model form. The statistics for data analysis were frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation and content analysis. The research findings were as follows that the people participated identifying the problems and causes of dengue hemorrhagic fever about 82.5 percentage, planning for prevention and control of dengue hemorrhagic fever about 71.9 percentage, operating for prevention and control of dengue hemorrhagic fever about 71.6 percentage, as well as monitoring and evaluating on the prevention and control of dengue hemorrhagic fever about 48.1 percentage.
