IMPORTANT FACTORS OF OPEN DEFECATION CONTROLLING EFFORTS IN GREATER BANDUNG URBAN SLUM AREA

Abstract

Sanitation is one of development aspects which human basic necessity. One of sanitation development policies in Indonesia is refers to community needs (demand driven) rather than achieving technical target (supply driven). Communities in urban slum area, as a target focus management, should play a major role in the development process and become an active participant in facility planning, construction, utilization and maintenance. This research is intended to identify the condition of sanitation management implementation in slum areas and explore important factors for community in sanitation management. This research is using Fishbein method and then followed by Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) with Cartesius diagram, with focus in exploring community ideas/perception for sanitation management in slum area. There are two responded components : fact (stating performance) and expectation (stating importance level) related to the operated policy/program in important factors. This research is conducted in Greater Bandung Area which is a metropolitan area comprising of 4 (four) cities/regencies that structure West Java Province capital area. The result is among ten requested important factors, the financial factor becomes major important factor that had to be improved (2,24;4,25), however community participation (2,86;4,05), environmental (2,79;4,07) and social impact factors (2,86;4,01) are satisfied important factors. Resilience to the climate change is also considered in this research since the effects of climate change on sanitation may be direct while water is an essential part of the technology process (e.g. sewerage) is indirect where the capability of the environment to absorb or reduce the adverse effect of wastes is changed. The result concludes that community has experience their self sanitation management to overcome environmental and social problems. On the other hand financial factor is still required to improve the better sanitation management.
