Abstract
To analyze the role of community institutions as the main actors in controlling public health free from the spread and influence of drugs. A case study with a qualitative approach was used in examining the role of institutions in controlling public health free from drug distribution. Data collection techniques covered in-depth interviews, Focus Group Discussion, observation, and literature review. The informants were seven people including the head of village and staffs, heads of a neighborhood organization, religious and community leaders, women and youth leaders. The community has institutions, having roles in controlling the narcotics spread and thus safeguarding the community's health conditions. These roles are as a vehicle for community consolidation, a guide for community behavior, a source of values and social norms, and a rule enforcer. Community institutionalization has three roles in controlling health, namely as a guideline, a forum, and a public health steward.
