Factors influencing sanitation sustainability (Indonesia)

Fulfilling basic needs for clean water and sanitation is still a challenge faced by Indonesia in achieving SDGs targets. In 2019, national access to basic sanitation was 79%, where in West Java Province only reached 71% of its population. Along with that, in solid waste management aspect, Indonesia has only reached 61% of solid waste management coverage. The high rate of urbanization increases the number of slum areas in big cities in Indonesia. One of the problems commonly found in slum is the lack of sanitation facilities and infrastructure including clean water, wastewater, drainage, and solid waste management. Improving access of sanitation in slum areas has faced notable challenges. Meanwhile, in the past few years rainbow village or colorful village has become a trend as an effort to improve the visual of slum areas by painting houses. In further development, village visual improvement may convert the area into tourism destination. The increase in social and economic value from being a tourism destination is expected to help stimulate improvement of sanitation management in the village. Thus, the need to study rainbow village optimizing factors regarding sanitation management emerge. There are several rainbow villages in Indonesia, therefore the main focus on this research are rainbow village are in Bandung City, Cibunut Berwarna Village and Pelangi 200 Village. Mixed method research is used in this research where Conventional Content Analysis (CCA) and Structural Equation Modelling are used to analyze qualitative and quantitative data gathered.
