Title
UN-HABITAT - Rejuvenation of
Community Toilets
Abstract
Sanitation services are necessary to support urban stability, enable social balance, economic growth
and development and are imperative for the improvement of urban public services. Although there have
been several national initiatives to increase sanitation coverage in India, a substantial part of urban
population, especially in slums, has no adequate sanitation facilities made available to them by the
government machinery, whether local or central. In cities, as on-site sanitation option, Urban Local Bodies
have constructed community toilets. Community toilets not only provide sanitation facility but at the
same time have a demonstrative effect as well. The people using these become habitual users of toilets,
and in turn realize the need for individual household toilets. Community toilets thus are the tools for
bringing behavioural changes amongst the public residing in the slum areas as well as in generating a
demand for the use of the individual toilets.
