Tugurejo, Tambakrejo, Karangroto, and Trimulyo Sub-District are sub-districts in Semarang which are densely populated and have the potential to experience seawater intrusion. The condition of densely populated makes it easier for people to be infected with disease agents and supports the creation of poor sanitation, they are susceptible to health risks such as gastroenteritis. This study aims to determine the relationship between community behavior and sanitation level on the gastroenteritis incidence in the Tugurejo, Tambakrejo, Karangroto, and Trimulyo Sub-District. The method used in this research is quantitative research by collecting data through questionnaires, observation, and literature study with a total sample of 100 samples with 25 samples for each sub-district. The results of this study indicate that based on secondary data, there were 89 cases of diarrhea in Tugurejo Sub-District, 240 cases in Trimulyo Sub-District, 1,266 cases in Karangroto Sub-District, and 163 cases in Tambakrejo Sub-District. Meanwhile, according to the questionnaire distributed to 100 respondents, the results obtained were 27 total incident cases of gastroenteritis that occurred in Tambakrejo Sub-District (5 cases), Trimulyo Sub-District (10 cases), Karangroto Sub-District (3 cases), and Tugurejo Sub-District (9 cases). Furthermore, wastewater management was the variable that had the most dominant effect on the incidence of gastroenteritis, because it had a Wald value or a value that indicated the influence of the independent variables partially on the dependent variable which is the largest, 6.514. Next, clean water supply, family latrines, waste management, wastewater management, hand washing, eating and drinking utensils washing, insect vector control, and vegetable processing simultaneously affect the incidence of gastroenteritis by 84.5%. The final conclusion, the logistic regression model for this study was IG = -36.648 - 0.267 PAB - 0.827 JK - 0.315 PS - 0.768 PAL - 0.574 MT - 0.265 MPM - 0.765 PVS - 1.682 PSa + ?
