Online published on 19 August, 2019. Abstract Background The quality of physical environmental factors (lighting, temperature, relative humidity, and room density) and germ density numbers show that more than 91% of germ numbers and 71%-87% of physical environment quality do not meet the health requirements required by the Decree RI Minister of Health No. 1204/MENKES/SK/X/2004. The study took place in Wamena, Kurulu District, Jayawijaya Regency, Papua Province, aimed at: (1) To determine the amount of microbial density before and after the Ultraviolet + Exhause lamp intervention (2) To examine the effects of Ultraviolet + Exhause Lamps on reducing microbial density before and after intervention honai in Kurulu District, Jayawijaya Regency, Papua Province. Method This research is a pre-experimental designs in the form of One-group pretest-posttest design. Honai in the Kurulu district of Jayawijaya Regency was intervened on the basis of the design of a cohort study intended to observe the course of bacterial density. Research looks at aspects of problems that occur in the physical environment of Honai. Observations are followed “in the future”, ie starting from the Honai target then followed for a certain time/period to see whether there is an effect on Honai after being given intervention or treatment. The sample consists of 32 sample points, sampling until purposive sampling. Results The overall effect of the intervention in the first week has decreased the average microbial density of 98.07%, in the second week there has been a decrease in microbial density on average 99.92%, and in the third week there has been a decrease in average microbial density 99.99%. This is confirmed by the results of the Friedman test where the value of p = 0, 000 and post hoc analysis where the value of p = 0, 000. This gives the meaning that the intervention carried out is very effective in reducing microbial density carried out for 3 weeks or it takes up to 3 weeks to reduce microbial density to reach 99.99%. Therefore, based on the results of this study the intervention of 35 watt + Exhause ultraviolet light which starts at 07.00 CEST until 18: 00 CEST is highly recommended for use in Honai. Conclusion The effect of the intervention on decreasing microbial density before and after the intervention showed a significant difference in decreasing microbial density.
