The results of the analysis of Basic Health Research in 2010, showed that Bantul District of Yogyakarta Province, is one of the 10 Districts/Municipalities in Indonesia bearing good Community Health Development Index of 0.69148. Community Health Development Index (CHDI) is a composite that describes the progress of health development, including maternal and child health.

Based on the assumption that there is a significant relationship between economic development of the community and high status of health as shown by the CHDI, it is a little bit unusual and draws a question, because the pre-prosperous and poor families in the district are quite high. Therefore, it is should be determine what are the various endogenous factors, such as socio-cultural factors; among those factors might play an important role in supporting the health status of the community.

This study was concentrated in the rural village of Gadingsari Sanden, Bantul District in the Province of Yogyakarta, which has low cases of infant and child mortality. Data on the various culture practices in relation with mother and child health were collected through in-depth interviews. The informants were pregnant women, women who have given births, or those who have babies or toddlers. Other informants were community leaders and some members of the community considered familiar with local culture. Alongside with interviews, observations were also conducted on the number of objects related to the mother and child health. The results of the Interview were entered into matrix tables of essential information, to determine the variety of information closely related to mother and child health.

The results was then analysed in the form of qualitative-descriptive method. The community in Gadingsari were still live in the ceremonial/traditional pattern, among others, they still doing small festivity or “selametan”. There was a traditional pattern where in “selametan” food were distributed to the people who came to the house who conducted the “selametan” and distributed also to the neighbouring households. This tradition allows every family to get adequate nutrition both in quantity and quality due to the variation of the food. The sharing of food among households through social tradition will always happen in the community lives in Gadingsari village and will continue as long as people still cling to the cultural values of solidarity and a high tolerance to the fellow community. The sharing of good food among the people will give extra nutrition to the family, and indirectly affect the health status of mother and child. Cultural values are still strongly held by the community as a form of solidarity as well as a high tolerance among them.
