Abstract

This study aimed to develop Makassar Healthy City standards and indicators based on local needs, including key indicators, general indicators and specific indicators according to the settings choices. Through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions, this study found that general indicators only change indicators regarding the level of awards, from national and international awards to provincial, national and international awards. Furthermore, the main indicators still refer to national policies. Seven of nine settings were identified in Makassar City based on local needs. There are changes or additions to indicators in almost all settings. Re-standardization of healthy districts/cities should be carried out in all districts/cities based on the local conditions.
