This Research uses analytical descriptive survey method with cross-sectional. Based on the results of bivariate analysis, it is shown that there is significant correlation between temperature (p = 0.061; coefficient = 0.45), humidity (p = 0.013; coefficient = 3.32), physical quality of the houses (p = 0.002; coefficient = 3.33), and dwelling density (p = 0.000; coefficient = 4.62) and the number of air fungi in the houses. There is no significant correlation between distance (p = 0.547; coefficient = 0.67) and the number of air fungi in the houses. There are correlation between air humidity, physical quality, density and the number of air fungi in the houses. It is expected that the society will improve the physical condition of the houses.
