다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In many people`s minds, health promotion is simply a more modern term covering roug-hly the same field as disease prevention or life style related reduction of the risk factors of chronic disease. A review of the modern literature of health promotion make it clear that there is more to this term than what is involved in functioning as a synonym for dis-ease prevention. Therefore, in order to reach a clear understanding of what health pro-motion is, this study suggest the concept of the health balance model. Health balance is represented in terms of an equilibrium between physical, social, and life-style-related heal-th challenges on the one hand and health potential on the other hand. Thus, health pro-motion strategies encompasses both the reduction of health challenges and the strength-ening of health potential. Many elements of reducing health challenge are mainly related to the regulation laws. Aspects of strengthening of health potential are related to active-ties of health center. Therefore, health promotion strategies at a community level should be included in regional health planning which is implemented by health center.
