Primary data collecting technique employed is sociometry survey, in-depth interview, and observation. Sociogram and some data count analysis were using Ucinet 6.0. Generally, network cohesiveness indicates characteristic that closed from new information or innovation. Such an anomaly, the result shows that in-cohesive network also has closed characteristic. In the other side, people who live surround Bumiayu Clinic don't consider health issue as important thing yet, that shapes low awareness of Garbage Clinical Insurance. Decentralized pattern characteristic can use interpersonal threshold, individual counselling. But centralized approach (group counselling) can be used too as formulas to maximizing its adoption rate.
