AbstractThis article assessed community participation in the provision of environmental sanitation infrastructure in Akure, Nigeria. A multi-stage sampling procedure was employed for the study. Four residential zones: the traditional core, the transition zone, the peripheral zone and the public housing district were identified, this was with a view to showcasing the variation in the level of contributions and efforts of different communities based on the delineated areas towards the provision of environmental sanitation infrastructure in the study area. Twenty residential areas were identified across the residential zones of the study area out of which ten areas which represented 50% of the total areas were selected. Ten percent of the total number of buildings in the selected areas were subsequently sampled, resulting in the selection of 180 residents for questionnaire administration. The data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics with frequency used for univariate analysis and cross tabulation for bivariate and multivariate analysis as well as the use of chi-square for inferential statistics. Findings revealed that community participation did not play a leading role in providing environmental sanitation facilities in Akure, but that the government did. This shows that most of the environmental facilities in the area are provided by the government, thus revealing the overdependence of the residents on the government for the provision of environmental sanitation infrastructure. Further findings revealed that most of the challenges faced in the study area in terms of providing environmental sanitation infrastructure had a significant influence on the provision of these facilities. Thus, the study showed that challenges significantly hindered the provision of environmental sanitation facilities in the area.

Development Outcomes

Environmental sanitation is part of public health which includes the principles of efforts to eliminate or master environmental factors that can cause disease through activities aimed at (i) water sanitation, (ii) food sanitation, (iii) sewage systems, (iv) air sanitation, (v) vector control and disease rodents, (vi) home hygiene. When sanitation problems arise in dense residential areas that are not well ordered and are also not handled in a way that is not sanitary, it will pollute the surrounding environment. Changes in community behavior to be more environmentally friendly do not just happen, but through the process of forming behavior that has a background and motivation. The motivation then raises behavior that influences the actions and efforts of the community towards the sustainability of the activity. So that this study will also analyze the role of the community and other involved stakeholders in the mechanism of improving the sanitation of the slum environment. MCK management activities are part of the practice of community behavior in improving sanitation. The government of the North Kembangan village has tried to improve this condition through programs to improve the settlement environment with the concept of community empowerment, this program involves community participation starting from the planning, implementation to the utilization and maintenance stages. It is expected that with this community participation a sense of ownership of development outcomes can be achieved so that the sustainability of the program can be achieved.

In 2018, an estimated 19.4 million babies worldwide will not be achieved with basic immunization services. About 60% of these children live in 10 countries: Angola, Brazil, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines, and Vietnam. This study aimed to determine the effect of media access on basic immunization status in Indonesia. This study was carried out using a cross-sectional design by further analyzing Indonesian IDHS data for 2017. The study was conducted from January to March 2020. The number of samples used was 6483 mothers who had children aged 12-23 months with a saturated sample technique. Data processing and analysis using SPSS and data analysis performed was univariate analysis, bivariate using Chi Square test, and multivariate using the Multiple Logistic Regression test. Bivariate results show a significant relationship between reading newspapers, watching television, and frequency of internet access with basic immunization status in Indonesia (P-value <0.05). Multivariate results showed a significant relationship between watching television and frequency of internet access with basic immunization status (P-value <0.05). The most dominant or most influential variable on Indonesia's basic immunization status is watching television with OR = 2,268 (1,754-2,931). Suggestions from this research are that the government promotes proper socialization about the importance of basic immunization in various media, especially in television media.

Purpose of the study: The present study highlights the administrative causing institutional intra-faith disintegration and its revival to social reintegration in district Hangu-Pakistan.  Methodology: The study proceeded with a sound conceptual framework comprised of the independent variable, i.e., administrative failure to curb sectarianism, and dependent variable, i.e., "social reintegration," bypassing these through a sound statistical operationalization, i.e., chi-square and factor analysis, respectively. A sample size of 306 representing all leading categories of the study was chosen by stratified random sampling procedure to ensure the true representation of the masses living in the study area. Main Findings: The study disclosed that administrative failure had a strong and significant relationship with disintegration as causative factors and had been identified as a catalyst towards the social reintegration provided. Both literate and illiterate are taken into consideration for their involvement in the reintegration process while restructuring the administrative state of the area, as pointed out by the literate respondents. Applications of this study: The study recommended that the government should take initiatives by indulging all the stakeholders for greater social inclusion in the study arena, allowing both sects to participate in the common values under the ambit of Islam. A policy of non-interference by the state of Pakistan needs to be designed and communicated accordingly to all forces involving particular reference to the neighboring states. Novelty/Originality of this study: To the best of my knowledge, little empirical work in this area has been conducted in the Pakistani context. Thus, this study will be helpful in policy planning on both local and international levels.

Abstract: Influence Of Knowledge And Education Aspects Of Kapuas Riverside Community In Waste Disposal. The people of Pontianak City are very dependent on the Kapuas river. Besides being used as a raw water source for Local Water Supply Utility (PDAM) and means of transportation, the government also has launched waterfront city program which changed the public perception of looking at the river as the backyard for waste disposal into the front yard that must be taken care of. This will not happen without the support of the people who live on the banks of the river, because factually the people still throw their waste, bathe, wash their clothes, and defecate in the river. Study related to people’s behaviour in waste disposal on the banks of the river is needed to facilitate the formulation of waste handling. The purpose of the research is to know the relationship of society at the edge of capungan in throwing garbage in place waste disposal. This research was analytical descriptive with observation, interview, and questionnaire. The number of samples are40 people were randomly scattered in five districts which are passed through by Kapuas river.Data were analyzed using univariate analysis with frequency distribution table and bivariate analysis using chi-square test. The result of bivariate analysis with chi-square test and significant of alpha 0,05 found no correlation between knowledge with people’s behaviour in waste disposal (p-value = 0,492), and had a significant relationship between education with people’s behaviour in waste disposal (p-value = 0,015).Abstrak: Pengaruh Aspek Pengetahuan Dan Pendidikan Masyarakat Tepi Sungai Kapuas Dalam Membuang Sampah.  Masyarakat Kota Pontianak sangat bergantung terhadap Sungai Kapuas. Selain digunakan sebagai sumber air baku Perusahaan Daerah Air Minum (PDAM), dan sarana transportasi, Pemerintah juga mencanangkan program waterfront city yang mengubah persepsi masyarakat memandang sungai sebagai halaman belakang untuk membuang limbah menjadi halaman depan yang harus dipelihara. Hal ini tidak akan terwujud tanpa dukungan masyarakat yang tinggal di tepi sungai, karena fakta di lapangan menunjukkan masih banyak masyarakat yang membuang sampah dan melakukan aktivitas MCK di sungai. Dibutuhkan studi terkait perilaku masyarakat di tepi sungai dalam membuang sampah agar memudahkan dalam formulasi penanganan sampah. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui hubungan masyarakat di tepi sungai kapuas dalam membuang sampah di TPS. Penelitian bersifat deskriptif analitik dengan observasi, interview, dan kuisioner. Sampel yang diambil sebanyak 40 orang secara acak dan tersebar di 5 (lima) Kecamatan yang dilalui Sungai Kapuas. Data yang terkumpul dianalisis secara univariat dengan tabel distribusi frekuensi dan analisis bivariat menggunakan uji chi-square. Hasil analisis bivariat menggunakan uji chi-square dengan alpha 0,05 didapatkan tidak ada hubungan antara pengetahuan dengan perilaku membuang sampah (p-value= 0,492), dan terdapat hubungan signifikan antara pendidikan terhadap perilaku membuang sampah (p-value= 0,015).

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the management of solid waste during monthly environmental sanitation exercise in different residential areas of Ibadan municipality, Nigeria. The study also examined how the government performed its responsibility during the exercise. This is expected to assist in improving the conduct of sanitation exercise in one of Africa’s populous indigenous settlement, Ibadan. Design/methodology/approach Collection of data for the study was through participant observation, administration of questionnaire, and interview. As a way of participating and observing, the authors were involved in the conduct of the exercise in the different residential areas of Ibadan municipality. Questionnaire was administered on respondents drawn from one of every ten buildings (10 percent) in the study area using systematic sampling technique. A respondent (preferably a household head) was surveyed from a floor of selected residential building. A total of 367 copies of questionnaire were completed and returned for analysis. Information provided in the questionnaire was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Interview was conducted to collect information from the head of environmental sanitation unit in each of the five local government areas of Ibadan municipality. Findings The most widely used medium of storing solid waste was the polythene bag, which accounted for 22.8 percent of all the storage receptacles and was employed by 50.4 percent of the residents. Similarly, residents employed a combination of waste disposal methods which included burning, and dumping in the drains, river banks and on vacant plots. Methods of solid waste storage and disposal varied across the different residential areas of Ibadan municipality. It was established that despite the huge amount of money expended on the collection of solid waste during the exercise, only government-owned vans constituted less environmental health hazard. Practical implications It would assist in evaluating the success and failure of the monthly environmental sanitation exercise. It would also reveal to policy makers’ direction to which policy initiative should focus. Findings of the study could serve as a guide for the management of solid waste from similar exercises in countries of the developing world with similar socio-economic and environmental sanitation practices. Originality/value Presented in this paper are results of an investigation into solid waste management during monthly environmental sanitation exercise in Ibadan municipality, Nigeria. The study was an attempt at examining the different storage and disposal methods employed by households in the management of solid waste during the exercise. It also revealed what is committed financially into the collection and transportation of solid waste for final disposal during the exercise by government.

Floods that occurred in the city of Banjarbaru especially those that occurred in residential areas caused problems for the community as well as challenges for the government to evaluate the drainage channel in the settlement. The existing rainwater drainage channels need to be reviewed and developed so that they can accommodate the water flowing in the area. One of the settlements that had occurred in the city of Banjarbaru was a residential area in Cempaka Subdistrict, Cempaka Village, precisely on Jalan Getah Tunggal. The data needed in this study are rainfall data, land use data, topographic data and existing data on channel conditions at the study site. Rainfall data were analyzed by Log Pearson III, Gumbel and Iwai Kadoya methods, then tested by Chi Square to choose the distribution of statistics received. The rainfall data was analyzed into the intensity of hourly rain using the mononobe method. Rain intensity is analyzed using a rational method to get a plan debit (Qchannel). Furthermore (the plan) is compared with (Qchannel), and (Qexisting). Based on the calculation results obtained (Qplanning) of 0.76 m3/sec, (Qchannel) of 0.78 m3/sec, (Qexisting) of 0.0645 m3/sec, the comparison results are obtained (Qchannel)>(Qplanning), (Qexisting) <(Qplanning). So that it can be concluded that the causes of flooding and inundation are sediments as high as 70 cm which reduce the storage capacity of the initial dimensions of the channel

Abstract: Gold is a mining commodity that has a high value. Tatelu’s gold processing is traditionally done with tromol machines that produce high intensity continous noise. Noise is a trigger of stress, which is one of the causes of dyspepsia. This study aimed to find out the relationship between continous noise exposure of the mining tromol and dyspepsia complaints among Tatelu villagers. The study was done by using a cross sectional design. The samples were divided into two groups: the control and the exposed groups. Each group consisted of 20 people. Interviews used structured questionnaires, and dyspepsia diagnostics were based on  Rome Consensus III. The characteristics of samples and the prevalence of dyspepsia complaints were assessed using univariate analysis. Chi square was used to assess the relationship between continous noise exposure of the tromols with complaints of dyspepsia. The results showed that in residential areas exposed to noise, 70% of the samples had complaints of dyspepsia, while in the control area there were only 25%. The results of the statistical analysis using the Chi square showed the value x2count (8.12) > x2table (3.84) and the P-value = 0.004 < 0.05 with α < 5%. Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between the continous noise exposure from the gold tromols with the complaints of dyspepsia among Tatelu villagers. Keywords: noise, stress, dyspepsia.     Abstrak: Emas merupakan komoditi tambang yang mempunyai nilai tinggi.
