A study on the dynamics of the Aedes aegypti mosquito population and the potential time for the spread of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) in the Medan City Landscape has been carried out with the aim of analyzing the effect of environmental quality (temperature, relative humidity) in the Medan city landscape (village, suburban, city) on population dynamics of Aedes Aegypti and analyzing the relationship between environmental data and population dynamics data in order to see the potential time (months) for the spread of dengue fever in the city of Medan. The used methodology: direct observation: environmental parameter measurement (temperature, relative humidity), population dynamics (the number of egg-larvae, larvae-pupa, pupa-adult), the design used: Factorial Completely Random Design (CRD): landscape and observation month, 6 repetitions, Duncan test 5%, analyzed with SPSS 20 computer program. The research results, population dynamics (the number of egg-larvae, larvae-pupa, and pupa-adult) of A. aegypti. is high in village (92.66%-96,00%, 90,00%-92,61%, 90,00%-92,61%) followed by suburbs (86,59%-89,37%, 87,78%-91,65%, 87,78%-91,65%) and the lowest is in the city (76,00%-78,12%, 76,00%-78,12%, 76,00%-78,12%). The village landscape has high potential for DHF transmission compared to suburbs and the city with the same spread month potential: September and January. Correlated temperature (-) to A. Aegypti population dynamics an increase in temperature causing a decrease (the number of egg-larvae, larvae-pupa and pupa-adult), in the other hand, relative humidity is correlated (+), to population dynamic of A. aegypti; an increase in relative humidity causing an increase (the number of egg-larvae, larvae-pupa, and pupa -adult).
