Abstract:

O abastecimento por água potável, o esgotamento sanitário, a coleta e disposição de resíduos sólidos e a drenagem pluvial urbana são serviços públicos indispensáveis para uma cidade, pois se relacionam diretamente com a saúde coletiva, a qualidade de vida dos cidadãos e a qualidade ambiental. A partir de dados de fácil aquisição pretendeu-se conhecer a qualidade do saneamento ambiental que o espaço urbano de uma cidade apresentava para que os gestores públicos possam planejar a área urbana de acordo com as necessidades de seus cidadãos e diminuir as deficiências encontradas no saneamento ambie

Abstract Despite ongoing debates about what constitutes adequate sanitation, there is a lack of sanitation quality measures that are theoretically grounded in ways that allow empirical comparisons of quality across different types of sanitation.

From this, the Peri-Urban Healthy Toilet Index (PUHTI) was created for measuring on-site, peri-urban sanitation quality. This PUHTI score was used to assess sanitation quality in a peri-urban area in Lusaka, Zambia.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of population density and sanitation on poverty in urban areas of West Java Province. The data used in this study are secondary data and primary data sourced from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) and field observations consisting of the percentage of poor people, population density and proper sanitation in urban areas of West Java Province. The number of observations in this study was 45 consisting of data from 9 cities in West Java Province from 2016 to 2020.

Abstract:

With rapid urbanization, major urban centres in developing countries face complex challenges related to water quality, sanitation practices, and public health outcomes. This review paper investigates the relationship between water quality, sanitation practices, and public health outcomes in major urban areas of Lagos, Kano, Ibadan, and Enugu, Nigeria. The study comprehensively analyses water quality indicators (pH, dissolved oxygen, total dissolved solids, lead, coliform bacteria, etc.). It examines sanitation practices, including access to sanitation facilities and waste management. The revie

Abstract:

Problems of access and quality of sanitary sewage disproportionately impact the health of populations in urban peripheries of low-and middle-income countries. The condominial sewer system is a practical, low-cost, effective, and simplified engineering approach compared to conventional sewer systems. In support of meeting the sanitation needs in highly populated urban settings, there is a need to understand the residents’ perceptions regarding the advantages and disadvantages of this sanitation model compared to conventional sewer systems. We conducted a cross-sectional study from September to

Abstract:

The discussion about the quality of Environmental Sanitation (ES) services is currently highlighted because it is directly linked to the population's quality of life. Assessing the scope of SA services has become an important tool for the management of municipalities and states, as it allows the adaptation to the reality of the population to improve future planning, foreseeing the expansion of SA services. The Municipal Basic Sanitation Plan - PMSB was established by Law No. 11.455 / 2007 as an important planning tool for basic sanitation services. It consists of programs, projects and actions

Abstract:

Historically, the Government of Bangladesh has faced serious challenges in urban sanitation while public policy continuously bypasses questions related to the overall condition of the urban slums and their complex and filthy neighbourhood environment. Considering the diverse local settings of the urban slums, this paper attempts to explore the varied dynamics of ‘social-technological-governance’ (STG) systems from different categories of government (GO) and non-governmental organisation-managed slums where sanitation projects have been implemented. The analysis of STG systems not only uncovers

Abstract:

In low- and middle-income countries, poor autonomy prevents women from making financial decisions, which may impact their access to improved sanitation facilities. Inadequate access to improved sanitation disproportionately affects women’s and children’s health and wellbeing. Although socio-cultural factors are known contributors to gender inequity, social beliefs that potentially motivate or dissuade women from making sanitation-related household decisions are not well understood. These beliefs may vary across settlement types. To empower more women to make sanitation-related decisions, the r

Abstract:

Improving access to water and sanitation for vulnerable groups has been a significant development priority in recent decades and this has been coupled with calls for water and sanitation to be recognised as fundamental human rights. However, to date there has been very limited attention on the right to water and sanitation for homeless people, despite their high vulnerability to a range of water and sanitation insecurities. Drawing on empirical data from the Indian cities of Delhi and Bangalore, this paper examines homelessness and the right to water and sanitation. It highlights the everyday

Abstract:

Although many cities have planed to develop sewerages in developing countries, sewerage establishment still requires huge investment and engineering efforts. Improvement of existing sanitation facilities may contribute the betterment of urban sanitation before sewerage establishment. The purpose of this study is to propose a measure to improve urban sanitation in areas where a sewerage development plan is proposed but has not been yet established, based on a case study in Hanoi, Vietnam. We found that 90.5% of human excreta flowed into septic tanks. However, 89.6% of septic tanks have never be
