Abstract

Background: Community-Based Sanitation Management (CBSM) in coastal areas requires motivation and support from various stakeholders.    

Objective: To analyse the level of CBSM based on the socio-economic status of the community and its constraints.    

Method:  A cross-sectional study was conducted in the subdistrict of Deli Serdang, North Sumatra, Indonesia with a sample size of 414 households. The outcome measured in this study is the economic impact on CBSM. Data analysis was performed using the Kruskal-Wallis test with variable tests of economics and the level of CBSM.    

Result: Most communities living in coastal settlements have inadequate sanitation knowledge and skills, which poses an inhibiting factor for management.    

Conclusion: Community participation in sanitation management in coastal areas is significantly low (low=27.7%, medium=65.0%). Therefore, support from stakeholders is needed. This study recommends that early and continuous education alongside training is required to increase knowledge on clean, healthy, and sustainable sanitation management.
