A holistic approach to human life and health was tried in the three kampung or homesteads, Pasirparahu (P), Slamungkal (S) and Brumbung (B), in Java Island, Indoneisa. P and S are in West Juva, and B is in Central Java. S is in a mountain village of m above the sea level, and the other two are on a plain. Some characteristics of natural environment and cultural background differ between P, S, and B. Home garden, house, water use, daily life, and dietary pattern are described. The methods applied are direct observation, hearing from informants, and measurement for dietary survey and map making. Health check was conducted calling to the total villagers in the three kampung by the author. Body height and weight, and skinfold thickness are smaller than those of Japanese. Blood pressure is, also, smaller and increased little with aging. Male adults eat 1 kg or more of steamed or boiled rice in a day with little animal foods. Ascaris and hookworm infestation in P is more than 50%, and that in B is about 15%. The reason of the difference should be attributable to the way of water use and to the difference in public health activity. Morbidity pattern and the rate show considerable differences between the three kampung.
