The potential application of non-sewered sanitation systems in healthcare facilities – a case study in Beijing, China
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: ABSTRACT Non-sewered sanitation systems (NSSSs) could improve sanitation in healthcare facilities (HCFs) within urban areas of developing countries. However, they are not usually applied in these areas. In this study, the PEST analysis, which refers to analyzing the feasibility and potential of a project in terms of four factors – political, economic, social, and technological – was used to examine the practical application of NSSS in HCFs in Beijing, China. The results found that the support of NSSS applications in HCFs outweighs the challenges. Particularly in rural areas, NSSS has significant potential for application. Implementing these strategies would enhance sanitation in HCFs and reduce the spread of diseases.
