Sanitation issues are important to pay attention to because they have a negative impact on various aspects of life. Development of sanitation facilities and infrastructure really needs efforts related to environmental aspects and public health. The problem that occurs in Kampung Tengah is about the quality of sanitation. The purpose of this research is to analyze sanitation problems that occur in Kampung Tengah village. From these data results will be obtained which will be used to improve and propose solutions for infrastructure development to improve sanitation conditions according to local conditions. Data collection used field observation methods by distributing data questionnaires. Then the data was tested using SPSS software, to ensure the validity and reliability of the data collected. The results showed that the sanitation quality of Kampung Tengah was classified as poor. Residents do not have a septic tank, the environment around the house is dirty and slum due to the absence of high tide. So it is necessary to improve the quality of sanitation by building a septic tank. The communal septic tank is a solution for the residents of Kampung Tengah who have limited land and cannot afford to build their own septic tank. In addition, to adapt to the socio-economic conditions of the residents, biofilter septic tank technology is needed. To meet the needs of the residents of Kampung Tengah, so sanitation can be improved.

“…1 Detecting pollutants in water in advance and preventing human exposure to them are important for maintaining a healthy life. 2,3 Increasing amounts of heavy metals are being discharged into water, air, and soil due to the improper disposal of fossil fuels, mine wastes, and electronic wastes, resulting in serious pollution problems with the growth of industries. 4 When heavy metals, such as cadmium, lead, copper, mercury, zinc, arsenic, chromium, iron, and nickel, are absorbed into various organisms, including the human body, over time they get accumulated and their concentrations can exceed by such a level that can even cause death of the affected organisms.…”

“…Studies among patients in HCFs in several sub‐Saharan African countries have found high rates of patient dissatisfaction with sanitation facilities, often involving substandard cleanliness, with evidence of suppressed care‐seeking behaviour [2]. However, barriers to basic sanitation—especially flush toilets—include high construction costs, inadequate availability of or capacity for sewage treatment, water scarcity and inadequate resources for maintenance and repair [3, 4]. Additionally, aesthetic challenges (cleanliness, presence of flies, poorly maintained facilities) are also obstacles to adequate services and optimal use of latrines [5].…”

ObjectivesInnovations to improve public sanitation facilities, especially in healthcare facilities (HCFs) in low‐income countries, are limited. SaTo pans represent novel, largely untested, modifications to reduce odour and flies and improve acceptability of HCF sanitation facilities. We conducted a pilot project to evaluate acceptability, cleanliness, flies and odour within latrines in 37 HCFs in Kisumu, Kenya, randomised into intervention (SaTo pan modifications) and control arms by sub‐county and HCF level.MethodsAt baseline (pre‐intervention) and endline (>3 months after completion of SaTo pan installations in latrines in intervention HCFs), we surveyed users, cleaners and in‐charges, observed odour and cleanliness, and assessed flies using fly tape. Unadjusted difference‐in‐difference analysis compared changes from baseline to endline in patient‐reported acceptability and observed latrine conditions between intervention and control HCFs. A secondary assessment compared patient‐reported acceptability following use of SaTo pan versus non‐SaTo pan latrines within intervention HCFs.ResultsPatient‐reported acceptability of latrines was higher following the intervention (baseline: 87%, endline: 96%, p = 0.05). However, patient‐reported acceptability was also high in the control arm (79%, 86%, p = 0.34), and the between‐arm difference‐in‐difference was not significant. Enumerator‐observed odour declined in intervention latrines (32%–14%) compared with controls (36%–51%, difference‐in‐difference ratio: 0.32, 95% confidence interval: 0.12–0.84), but changes in flies, puddling of urine and visible faeces did not differ between arms. In the secondary assessment, fewer intervention than control latrines had patient‐reported flies (0% vs. 26%) and odour (18% vs. 50%), and reported satisfaction was greater. Most cleaners reported dropholes and floors were easier to clean in intervention versus controls; limited challenges with water for flushing were reported.ConclusionsOur results suggest SaTo pans may be acceptable by cleaners and users and reduce odour in HCF sanitation facilities, though challenges exist and further evaluation with larger sample sizes is needed.
