Analysis Of The Main Factor In The Implementation of Open Defecation Free Using The AHP Method

Abstract

Environmental sanitation refers to an environment's health status, including housing, sewage disposal, clean water supply, waste management, and other factors. Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6) ensures people access proper environmental sanitation. Based on the monitoring and evaluation results of Community-Based Total Sanitation (STBM) in 2022, it was found that 100% of open defecation had been stopped for Pillar 1 of STBM. This study aims to identify the factors that influence the success of implementing Open Defecation Free (ODF) programs in Depok City. The study used the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method to identify data from Contextual, Psychosocial, and Technological aspects. The results of this study indicate that three main aspects are critical to implementing ODF programs in Depok City: Contextual, Psychosocial, and Technological. Each aspect has a main factor that is highly influential. Those influential factors are a unique background for the contextual aspect, knowledge of the importance of community sanitation for the psychosocial aspect, ownership, and maintenance of the physical product for the technological aspect. In conclusion, to successfully implement ODF programs in Depok City, it is crucial to consider the three main aspects of Contextual, Psychosocial, and Technological factors. Addressing these aspects' main influential factors, such as personal background, knowledge of the importance of community sanitation, and ownership/maintenance of physical products, can lead to the effective implementation of ODF programs. However, it is essential to note that the success of ODF programs may vary depending on the specific context in which they are implemented. Thus a tailored approach may be necessary.
