Abstract. One of the endeavors that the government has done to prevent and control non-communicable diseases (NCD) by increasing community participation in the early detection of NCDs is the NCD Integrated Guidance Post (Posbindu). However, in 2017, only 12.96% of the residents in Bogor City accessed it. This meant that the 30% target was not reached. The in this study, we researched the implementation of the NCD Posbindu at Bogor City. Data was gathered through in-depth interviews, Focus Group Discussion (FGD), documentary research, and observations. Eleven informants was interviewed and 24 informants was involved in the FGD. Two NCD Posbindus was observed at Mekarwangi and Cipaku Public Health Centers (PHC). We discovered that the standards and policies have supported the program, but not all the informants were aware of the targets of the program; there were also problems in the number and abilities of the human resources involved, ineffective communication between the cadres, in the coordination between the cadres, and lack of support from local public figures. The program had adequate funding from the regional budget, the Operational Health Aid Funds, and donations from the community. Although more funds are necessary for the promotion and prevention part of the program. We recommend that new cadres are recruited and trained, and that a reward system is used to provide motivation for the cadres.Abstrak. Salah satu upaya pemerintah untuk mencegah dan mengendalikan penyakit tidak menular melalui peningkatan peran serta masyarakat dalam deteksi dini faktor risiko penyakit tidak menular adalah melalui Pos Pembinaan Terpadu (Posbindu) Penyakit Tidak Menular (PTM). Namun, pada tahun 2017 cakupan kunjungan masyarakat ke Posbindu PTM di Kota Bogor hanya sebesar 12,96%. Ini berarti target yang ditetapkan (30%) belum tercapai. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana implementasi kegiatan Posbindu PTM di Kota Bogor. Metode yang digunakan adalah wawancara mendalam, Focus Group Discussion (FGD), telaah dokumen dan observasi. Informan penelitian terdiri dari 11 informan wawancara mendalam dan 24 informan FGD. Observasi dilakukan di 2 Posbindu PTM di Puskesmas Mekarwangi dan Puskesmas Cipaku. Peneliti menemukan bahwa standar dan kebijakan yang ada telah mendukung program, tetapi belum semua informan mengetahui siapa target program, selain itu juga terdapat permasalahan dalam jumlah dan kemampuan kader, komunikasi yang tidak efektif antar kader, koordinasi antar kader, dan kurangnya dukungan dari tokoh masyarakat local. Pendanaan program tidak mengalami masalah, karena dana program berasal dari APBD, dana Bantuan Operasional Kesehatan, dan sumbangan masyarakat. Walaupun masih membutuhkan pendanaan lebih lanjut untuk promosi dan pencegahan. Peneliti merekomendasikan dilaksanakannya pembaharuan informasi dan pelatihan yang berkala untuk para kader, perekrutan kader baru, pemberian reward atau pemilihan kader teladan dan Posbindu PTM terbaik, peningkatan kerja sama lintas sektor lembaga pendidikan, pemerintah dan swasta.

ZusammenfassungDie 65. World Health Assembly hat die Bekämpfung nicht-übertragbarer Krankheiten in den Mittelpunkt globaler Aufmerksamkeit und Aktivität gerückt. Da Übergewicht bzw. Adipositas wesentliche Risikofaktoren für einen erheblichen Teil dieser Erkrankungen darstellen, kommt damit der Prävention (aber auch der Therapie) erhöhten Körpergewichtes in der Programmatik der WHO besondere Bedeutung zu. Gleichzeitig führen die hochgesteckten Ziele der WHO in das fundamentale Dilemma, dass es keine Instrumente gibt, die angestrebten Prävalenz- und Reduktionsraten im vorgegebenen Zeitrahmen zu erreichen. Daraus ergeben sich eine Reihe ethischer und sozialer Fragen, unter anderem nach dem zu Grunde gelegten Modell der Adipositas und den impliziten und expliziten Verantwortlichkeiten für ihre Bekämpfung.

Environmental health is referring to the health of people in relation to environmental quality. Due to rapid urbanisation, more people are living in urban neighbourhoods. Urban planning and design aspects including the neighbourhood environment are potentially affecting the human healthy lifestyle and health condition. Thus, the relationship between Malaysian neighbourhood environmental aspects and human health has become the concern of this research. One of the neighbourhood units in Shah Alam city had been chosen as the study area for this purpose. Questionnaire survey had been carried out to examine the health condition and physical activeness of residents. Besides, the perception of residents on the quality of neighbourhood environmental aspects also had been collected in the questionnaire survey. The health condition of residents was measured by non-communicable diseases (NCD) and the physical activeness was measured in duration as well as the frequency of physical exercise activities. The study found that the quality of neighbourhood environmental aspects significantly increased the physical activeness of respondents. The physical activeness was positively associated with human health as measured in NCD (heart diseases and high blood pressure, HBP). It shows that neighbourhood environmental (physical and social) aspects are potentially affecting the healthy life of people living in the neighbourhood.Keywords: Healthy life, Neighbourhood environment, Non-communicable diseases (NCD), Physical activeness, Quality.
