Abstract

BACKGROUND: The archipelago region is a vulnerable area to human health problems. Several problems in the archipelago area including climate change, lack of a holistic management plan, infectious diseases, non-communicable diseases, economic problems, population growth, health facilities, and access to health services. The development of a healthy island concept is a solution to overcoming health problems in the archipelago.

AIM: This article aims to identify the formation of the concept of a healthy island.

METHODS: Article review was conducted using three bibliographic databases. Articles were selected based on the 2010–2020 publication using PRISMA flow diagram 2015.

RESULTS: Based on the review article, it was found that twelve programs or concepts were used to overcome various problems in the archipelago which were obstacles to the realization of a healthy island, namely, a healthy diet; health development review; the concept of a climate change and adaptation health vulnerability assessment and planning project by the world health organization; the world health organization assessment; modeling exposure to tetrachlorethylene; conceptual model of the European Health Literacy Project (HLS-EU); community involvement in the Child Healthy Life Program; Pacific Island Health Care project; data analysis of newly registered TB cases; RHRW; approach to Community-Based Participatory Research; and descriptive epidemiology.

CONCLUSION: To solve health problems on the island is not easy, first, we need to elaborate on the health problems and second, we need to determine health project initiative based on community development.
