Results: Variables associated with measles in the study was population density with p value 0.000. The results of the spatial analysis shows the status of UCI obtained coefficient -0.6329697, standard error of 0.2307756, t - statistics - 2.742793 and p value 0.0083840, measles spread in villages with UCI status as many as 53 cases (89.83%) , while the village which does not lie within the UCI only 6 cases (10.17%).
