Scabies is a disease caused by infestation of the parasite Sarcoptes scabiei varian hominis. Based on the results of interviews with the Baitul Walad Orphanage, there are 15 children who suffer from scabies symptoms. This study aims to determine the relationship between the physical condition of the environment, personal higiene, and knowledge of the incidence of scabies at the Baitul Walad Orphanage Loa Buah Samarinda. This type of study is case control with a case group of 15 people and a control group of 30 people. The sampling technique uses total sampling, that is, the entire population is used as a sample. Bivariate analysis used the chi square test with a confidence level of 95% (α=0.05). The results showed that the variables that had a meaningful relationship with the incidence of scabies based on statistical tests were personal hygiene (p = 0.016), knowledge (p = 0.045). humidity (p=0.000), lighting (p=0.001), ventilation area (p=0.008), while variables that have no meaningful relationship are the occupancy density variables (p=0.135). The incidence of scabies at the Baitul Walad Orphanage Loa Buah Samarinda has a relationship with some variables, that was personal hygiene, knowledge, humidity, lighting, and ventilation area, while the variables of residential density do not have a meaningful relationship with the incidence of scabies.
