Abstract
This paper presents a research and development project, the research generated user needs and design transformed research information into inclusive squat latrine concepts. The new latrine design is for all users safe and it allows equitable use by everyone. The latrine responds to age-old defecation practice grounded in habit and cultural practice and it offers an ergonomic solution that helps maintaining comfortable squat posture throughout the defecation process. Since latrine use is difficult for most users and many experience difficulties over time, the ergonomic design and better buttock support minimizes strain on the joints and helps everyone prolong latrine use.
