The title of this research is empowerment strategies to raise awareness and independence of Yogyakarta’s society health condition based on promotion and prevention policy. It uses qualitative approach in its implementation. Then to retrieve the data, it is used questionnaires, interviews and FGDs techniques. From the results which is obtained, we can conclude that health policy which is oriented toward preventive and promotive policy becomes very important. Preventive and promotive policy give the output generated much better than curative and rehabilitative health policy. For that, community empowerment is necessary to support the policy. Appropriate empowerment strategies of public health will produce Societies health outcomes independently. But to achieve that, it takes a lot of synergy start from Health Department, health centers, NGOs, Community Leaders, and the community itself. The focus is more directed towards the empowerment of young person and mens who do not get a lot of health education. Additionally, collective people and self-conscious running environmental health is also one of the focus needs to be done when running the empowerment of public health. Some things related to the contents of the Ottawa Charter should keep in mind to optimize the implementation of community health empowerment in Yogyakarta. This empowerment policy (which is an element of policy advocates preventive and promotive) if successful would create a public health in Yogyakarta increased independence, thus curative and rehabilitative policies only become a side policy.
