Service Learning on Cultural Inclusive Design for Urban Migrants' Villages: Producing Transportable Toilet

Abstract

Adaptive-inclusive toilet design strategy was needed to respond the local unique toileting culture of Surabaya people, especially the urban migrants. The urban migrants in Surabaya live insecurely/unsafely in the slums because of the potential of Kampung’s eviction/demolition. Because of their limited economic condition and anxieties about sustainable land occupation, they constructed temporary shelters from the recycled materials. To answer the needs of the migrants’ sanitation, an inclusive portable toilet was produced based on the design principles and their toileting culture. The project involved several steps such as literature review, interview and photo documentation, socialization of healthy toileting culture, participative design workshop, and design development. The program was related to UNDK and supported by UBCHEA grant
