S. SARWAR, M.R. SHAIBUR AND I. AHMMED

This study was conducted to evaluate the performance of Ecological Sanitation (Eco-San) technology in Sagardari Union, a waterlogged region of Keshabpur Upazila under Jashore District, Bangladesh. The main objective of the study was to find out the technical feasibility and socio-economic benefits. To achieve research objective, a structured questionnaire method comprising of both open-ended and close-ended questions was employed. A sample of 40 households having Eco-San toilet was selected. Results clearly represented that social acceptance of Eco-San toilets was 31.25% in all attributes, indicating that the use of Eco-San toilet was below normal attitude. About 50% users were suffering from displacement for anal washing. More than 80% of the users were directly suffering from difficulties for adding ash into faeces hole. Compare to normal toilet, Eco-San toilet provided fertilizer, which ultimately converted human excreta (mainly faeces and urine) into organic fertilizer. Instead of using chemical fertilizer, Eco-San fertilizer was very effective to produce different types of nutrient rich rice, vegetables and fruits. We found that the users of Eco-San toilet earned more than 1000.00 Bangladesh Taka (BDT) per month as compare to the normal toilet users. Finally, the present study concluded that the Eco-San toilet was a good practice for maintaining sanitation condition which ultimately improved socio-economic profile in the study area. This study recommend to improve the quality of Eco-San toilets for further benefit and sustainable environment.Download
