SYNERGY OF IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF SELF-HELP HOMES ON ENVIRONMENTAL SANITATION IN THE COASTAL COAST OF LEATO SELATAN VILLAGE

BSPS is a program that seeks to encourage community initiatives and efforts to have the ability to plan, implement and supervise the construction of their own houses independently. The BSPS program of 20 20 is evenly distributed in all districts / cities in the Republic of Indonesia, one of which is South Leato Village, which is located on the southern coast of Gorontalo City, as well
as a quota of 20 houses for prospective beneficiaries .
The BSPS program in Kelurahan Leato Selatan is implemented as many as 20 (twenty) housing units, including 2 (two) community houses that do not have private toilets, namely the house of Mr. Madi Sue and the house of Mrs. Erpina Kadir which is in RT 2 RW 3 right at along the coast in Kelurahan Leato Selatan.
There is no toilet / latrine, which should be owned by every house. Ownership of toilets / latrines is one indicator of environmental sanitation which greatly affects the health of residents.
Apart from the existence of toilets / latrines, a minimum distance of 10 meters from clean water sources to feces / septic tank disposal is also an important indicator of environmental sanitation. If the distance is less than 10 meters, it is possible for disease-carrying bacteria or pathogenic microorganisms to contaminate the source of clean water . So that it becomes a risk factor for the possibility of diarrhea, cholera, typhoid fever.
Therefore, there is a need for synergy and synchronization of cross-sectoral programs and activities (both DAK and DAU funding sources), including the synergy of the B SPS, Individual Septictank and Communal IPAL programs which are currently being implemented in Leato Selatan Sub-district, so that the community can obtain a home rehabilitation program and gain access. comfortable, safe, healthy and easy sanitation.
