Abstract

It is not enough to solve health problems through medicine and health science disciplines alone; the role of another discipline, particularly the sociology of health, is an important contribution to solving health problems, particularly in changing people's health behaviors. This study aims to discover new information about the health status and health behavior of communities living on the outskirts of the forest. The descriptive qualitative approach is used in this study. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data for this study, and 15 informants were chosen. According to the findings of this study, health status is moderate, healthy behavior is poorer, housing or cottage environment is still dirty, and waste and garbage are still scattered. Most diseases were caused by bad health behavior, which was aided by natural factors. Based on the findings of this study, we recommend that the edge forest community develop and improve its health literacy, including a health campaign promoting a clean and healthy lifestyle.
