Abstract
In the province of Yogyakarta in Java, the district of Gunung Kidul is considered to be one of the poorest areas in Indonesia. Here, water shortages greatly affect the population, especially during the dry season, which lasts from April to October. Sanitation Systems in Gunung Kidul consist, either pit latrines or pour flush toilets. Without any treatment the liquid phase infiltrates in to the ground and the septic tanks are hardly ever emptied, thus posing an evident contamination potential to groundwater. So, the current situation about waste water and its treatment is inadequate. Due to this reason within the Integrated Water Resources Management Indonesia Project (IWRM) a so called pilot village Pucanganom was selected to develop an appropriate waste water treatment system considering basis conditions and resultant indicators which were weighted by the Analytical Hierarchy Process Method (AHP). The following paper will describe the application of the method to find an adaptable sanitary system for a village in Gunung Kidul, Indonesia.

In the following the initially focus is on the development and evaluation on a concept for sewage disposal and treatment which is limited in accordance to inherent local conditions
The pilot village lies in a rural area but densely populated and is one of the villages in the region which may have an increasing population
Summary
In the province of Yogyakarta in Java, the district of Gunung Kidul is considered to be one of the poorest areas in Indonesia. An initiative which subsequently began was aimed to combine the existing competences in one place This creates a pool of knowledge and exchange, which allows a comprehensive and integrated implementation with a high visibility and transferability to reach further rural areas. On the basis of a comprehensive set of criteria a pilot village called Pucanganom was selected which is situated in the catchment and supply area of Goa Bribin and is directly connected by a sinkhole with the karstic aquifer. At this stage, waste and sewage directly reaches the water resource which enforces an urgent risk situation because of the contamination of the groundwater. In the following the initially focus is on the development and evaluation on a concept for sewage disposal and treatment which is limited in accordance to inherent local conditions
