Abstract

Sanitation issues in Kebon Jeruk District, West Jakarta, caused by high
population density, lead to limited access to clean water and inadequate sanitation, ultimately posing a potential risk of water contamination. Therefore, appropriate sanitation technology planning is needed in Kebon Jeruk District to address the problem of Open Defecation (OD). The goal is to plan suitable sanitation technology to improve wastewater sanitation in Kebon Jeruk District. The planning method involves a quantitative descriptive approach with primary data collection through field observations, interviews, and questionnaires, as well as secondary data from relevant institutions. The research findings indicate that 63% of households in Kebon Jeruk District still practice Open Defecation (OD), primarily due to a lack of septic tanks. Only 25% of the population uses septic tanks, but their maintenance and emptying are infrequent. Therefore, alternative sanitation technologies, such as communal septic tanks or off-site sanitation, will be determined and planned in priority areas. In conclusion, the high population density and limited residential space in Kebon Jeruk District due to inadequate sanitation require appropriate sanitation technology planning, including the development of off-site sanitation and communal wastewater treatment facilities (IPAL) capable of serving multiple households simultaneously.
