Abstract
This study examines the symbolism of clean and healthy living behavior among “santri” in Sukabumi, Indonesia, through a communication ethnography approach. Clean and healthy living behaviors rooted in Islamic teachings on cleanliness reflect spiritual devotion and communal responsibility. By utilizing interviews, observations, and analysis of cultural rituals, the research highlights the role of religious values and community engagement in shaping health practices. Key barriers include inadequate sanitation infrastructure and socio-economic constraints, while culturally tailored education and participatory health initiatives are identified as effective solutions. The findings emphasize integrating cultural and religious values into health promotion to enhance well-being within “pesantren” and the wider community.
