Abstract
The aims of the research report are (1) low-income communities knowledge, attitudes, motivation, and behavior on the making of safe and environmentally friendly latrines and (2) to find the effect of experiments on increasing knowledge, attitudes, motivation, and behavior of low economic communities in the coastal areas of South Sulawesi during Covid-19 Pandemic. The sample of the experimental group are 30 heads of family area was Kanaungan Village, and the control group is 30 heads of family were selected by purposive sampling method area was Ma'rang Village in Pangkep Regency South Sulawesi, one of the Indonesian provinces. The research variables: (1) knowledge, attitude, motivation, and behavior, and (2) the effect of experiments on increasing knowledge, attitudes, motivation, and behavior. The experimental design used was a pretest-posttest control group design. The analysis used is descriptive statistical analysis and inferential statistical analysis. The inferential model is the independent t-test. The results of the research have shown that (1) knowledge, attitudes, motivation, and behavior to use safe and environmentally friendly latrines has increased after the experiments, and (2) there is a significant impact of the experiment in nurturing knowledge, attitudes, motivation, and behavior of the low economic communities in the coastal areas of South Sulawesi.
Highlights
Human feces is a source of various diseases and viruses, so it needs to be dumped in the latrine for environmental safety
It can be concluded that the knowledge of the control group of low-income communities in making latrines that are safe for the environment before experimenting is in a low category
It can be concluded that the knowledge of the control group of low-income communities in making latrines that are safe for the environment after experimenting is in a low category
Summary
Human feces is a source of various diseases and viruses, so it needs to be dumped in the latrine for environmental safety. Rauf (2018) stated that family latrine in coastal, lowland, and highland areas are in poor condition and are not safe for the environment [3]. Rauf (2017) has found a family latrine model and its constituent materials for low economic communities in the coastal areas of South Sulawesi [4] This latrine model is very significant to be trained to increase the knowledge, attitudes, motivation, and behavior of the low economic community in overcoming Covid-19 and making latrines that are safe for the environment. The data research report aims to describe low-income communities attitudes, motivation, and behavior on the use of safe and environmentally friendly latrines and to determine the effect of experiments on increasing knowledge, attitudes, motivation, and behavior of low economic communities in the coastal areas of South Sulawesi during Covid-19 Pandemic
