Integrative Solutions for the Acceleration of Open Defecation Free (ODF) in Bandung City

Abstract

Abstract One of the goals in the SDGs that a region must achieve is 100% sanitation access. Sanitation is considered to have a significant impact on the quality of public health, both in rural and urban areas. The city of Bandung as a city with a high-density level has a big challenge in resolving sanitation matters. Acceleration efforts are needed to improve sanitation access in the city of Bandung which is still low so that it can realize open defecation free (ODF) for every urban village in the city of Bandung. This paper aims to provide a logical framework in the form of efforts that can be made to increase ODF in the city of Bandung. By collecting secondary data, interviews and FGDs as well as the highest and best use approach, the results show that the most important thing is to encourage the community to realize the need for a septic tank through community based total sanitation triggering (STBM) activities, connecting household wastewater channels to PDAM Sewerage, construction of small and large-scale communal septic tanks / IPAL and construction of “Gendong” pipelines, especially those in riverbank areas.
