This study analyzes the relationship between the Healthy Living Community Movement Program (GERMAS) and the improvement of healthy lifestyle awareness among residents of Darek Village, Central Lombok Regency. The study was motivated by the need to strengthen promotive and preventive public health strategies at the village level, particularly to reduce non-communicable disease risks through physical activity, fruit and vegetable consumption, non-smoking behavior, regular health checks, and environmental hygiene. A quantitative correlational design was employed. The sample consisted of 30 community members who were aware of or had participated in GERMAS activities. Data were collected using a 20-item Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed through descriptive statistics, validity testing, reliability testing, simple linear regression, correlation, and coefficient of determination using SPSS version 25. The results show that community responses to GERMAS implementation were in the very good category, with a percentage score of 89.13%. All questionnaire items were valid because each item correlation exceeded the r table value of 0.361, and the instrument was reliable with a Cronbach’s Alpha of 0.950. Regression analysis produced the equation Y = 6.014 + 0.880X, with R = 0.826 and R² = 0.683. These findings indicate that GERMAS has a very strong relationship and contributes 68.3% to the improvement of healthy lifestyle awareness. Strengthening GERMAS requires continuous education, village government support, health cadre participation, and environmental facilities that enable consistent healthy living practices.
