Strategic thinking to improve sanitation in Kampung Pelangi 200, Bandung City: in comparison with Kampung Jodipan-Ksatrian, Malang City

Year: 2020

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: There are 4.5 billion people in the world who do not have access to safely managed sanitation. As an informal area, basic access to sanitation is also limited as available options for sanitation infrastructure provision is hampered by financial limitations. In 2016, students of Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang conducted a project funded by PT Indana in Jodipan, Malang to provide visual improvement to slum areas by painting the houses with striking colors. Jodipan inhabitants’ attitude and perception toward sanitation has changed over time as now their village has become a tourist destination. Meanwhile in 2018, a project funded by Sanlex was conducted in Bandung to attract more tourists by painting houses in Kampung Pelangi 200 to improve the physical appearance of the village. Kampung Pelangi 200 needs to obtain economic value from the project to provide safely managed sanitation. A cohort study is used to compare characteristics and confirm a suspected association between cause and effect to the desired condition. Factors to be considered include 1) Internal factors, particularly geographical characteristics, and location of the village, as well as local culture and social relationship in between village residents. 2) External factors, particularly the involvement of stakeholders and the weather of the city.
