Environmental Analysis of Basic Sanitation Quality of Residential Houses in Cokro Spring Stream Central Java, Indonesia

Abstract

Fulfillment of basic sanitation includes clean water, availability of latrines, wastewater disposal facilities, and waste management facilities. Cokro Klaten Spring along its flow has many activities including washing clothes and agricultural activities by the surrounding community. The purpose of this study was to determine the quality of basic sanitation owned by the community using Cokro spring water. This research method is descriptive to find out in detail the conditions that exist at the research location by taking data through questionnaires on respondents as many as 298 households who at the time of the study were carrying out activities using the flow of Cokro Klaten Spring. The results of research on basic sanitation of residential houses along the flow of Cokro Klaten springs are known that all houses (100%) have access to clean water both from wells and PAM which can be used to meet daily clean water needs. However, for the availability of latrines, there are still 9 (3%) houses that do not have latrines and still as many as 20% of houses that have latrines do not meet the requirements for healthy latrines in accordance with the provisions of the Minister of Health No. 39 of 2016. In terms of the availability of waste disposal facilities, as many as 56 (18.8%) do not have waste disposal facilities because they directly throw garbage into the river and from 298 houses there are still 23 houses (7.7%) that do not have wastewater disposal channels, they directly drain domestic wastewater to the back of their yards. The conclusion of this study is that the sanitation of residential houses in the Cokro Klaten spring stream has fulfilled the fulfillment of clean water, but the availability of latrines, waste management facilities and wastewater disposal has not met the basic sanitation requirements. Improvement of basic sanitation is needed to improve the quality of sanitation, especially in the provision of waste disposal facilities so that the community meets the quality of basic sanitation in accordance with the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 829 / Menkes / SK / VII / 1999.
