THE CONDITIONS OF SCHEDULED FECAL SLUDGE SERVICE IN KENDARI CITY, SOUTHEAST SULAWESI

Abstract

The implementation of the Scheduled Fecal Sludge Service still presents its own challenges. This is due to the condition of waste management in Kendari City. The purpose of this study was to determine the existing condition, the knowledge, and the interest of the community regarding fecal sludge services. Qualitative data collected from interviews with stakeholders, random sampling questionnaire surveys, then analyzed using WEKA 3.9.8 software, technical and management evaluations using the shit flow diagrams, and City Sanitation Service Delivery (CSDA) are methods used to collect data and formulate conclusions comprehensively. The results showed that the low service coverage (0.004%) of the total population occurred because the obligation to subscribe to the program was only carried out within the scope of the Regional Government Organization, so that the society did not get clear information regarding this program. The readiness of service implementation so far is only 63%. The questionnaire analysis by WEKA 3.9.8  shows the lack of socialization is the main issue of low service coverage. 82.6% do not know about the L2T2 program, and only 17.4% know about it. 74.1% of the community has not received information regarding sludge services, even though 72.1% of the community is interested in this program. Shit Flow Diagram shows that only 6% of services are included in the safe category, in line with the City Sanitation Service Delivery, which shows that improving the data collection system, service inclusion, and strengthening the institutional framework have a high urgency to achieve the sustainability of this program.
