<![CDATA[Car Free Day (CFD) represents a form of public space utilization that encourages the community to engage in physical activity and adopt a healthy lifestyle. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the experience of participating in CFD, environmental conditions, and the use of technology and social media regarding public health awareness in Pontianak City. The study employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design and a survey method. The sample consisted of 428 participants in CFD activities in Pontianak City, selected using an incidental sampling technique. Data were collected via a closed-ended questionnaire using a 1–5 Likert scale—validated for reliability and validity—and subsequently analyzed descriptively and through Spearman correlation tests using IBM SPSS Statistics version 27 software. The results indicate that public health awareness during CFD activities fell into the moderate category (82.48%). Correlation test results revealed positive and significant relationships between the use of technology and social media and public health awareness (r = 0.327; p = 0.001), environmental conditions and public health awareness (r = 0.412; p = 0.001), and the experience of participating in CFD and public health awareness (r = 0.289; p = 0.002). These findings indicate that public health awareness during CFD activities is linked to the experience of participation, supportive environmental conditions, and the use of digital technology as a medium for health information. CFD can serve as a public space-based platform for health promotion, supported by a conducive environment and the appropriate use of digital technology.]]>
