Outline of Final Research Achievements

The relationship between the current situation of toilet equipment and the environments or the lifestyle, and their issues in the environments and the sanitation have been investigated in slums of Nairobi, Kenya and the rural area of Arunachal Himalaya, India. As the number of toilets are limited in the slums, there are several serious problems in the toilet of the slum from a public health perspective. NGO has installed the biological toilets in the slum.
In Arunachal Himalaya, the dry leaves of oak trees are used as the toilet papers. The dirty leaves are thrown into the toilet and the compost are made with domestic pig in the toilets. Their manure are used in the farm land. Indian government has provided subsidies to the local people for making the new toilets as the purpose of the environment improvement since 2015.
