Abstract

Better sanitation and hygiene are very significant for sound health for human lives and it protects various water borne disease. This study aims to find sanitation-hygiene knowledge, practices and impacts on human health of coastal Bangladesh. Rajoir (Sarankhola), Gangarampur (Batiaghata) and Ganapatipur (Kalaroa) villages are purposively designated from shoreline, interim and inland coast. Data are collected with semi-structured questionnaire between July-October 2022 and analyzed through SPSS and map is produced with Arc GIS. Overall about 9.6, 36.3 and 54.1% respondents have good, moderate and poor knowledge regarding sanitation and hygiene. Overall about 57% respondents have accessed sanitary latrines. About 67% respondents claimed that their children deface are thrown in the toilet, followed by, around the house (16%). About 70, 83 and 84% respondents wash their hands with soap/handwash after defecation in shoreline, interim and inland area, followed by, 34, 35 and 27% before taking meal; 19, 19 and 4% before cooking; 9, 21 and 16% after household chores. Cleanliness index are categorized into satisfactory levels except water containers for shoreline (0.677) and inland (0.718) areas. About 96% (shoreline), 91% (interim) and 95% (inland) respondents claim women play a direct role during collection of water. Based on sanitation inspection tool, overall 6, 41, 47 and 3% tube-wells are grouped into very high, high, intermediate and low risk categories. About 57% (shoreline), 48% (interim) and 36% (inland) water sources are grouped into ‘high’s category. The study suggest to formate management committee to monitor proper sanitation and hygiene systems.

环境卫生知识、做法和对人类健康的影响：来自孟加拉国沿海地区的见解

更好的环境卫生和个人卫生对人类生命的健康非常重要，它可以保护各种水传播疾病。本研究旨在了解孟加拉国沿海地区的卫生知识、做法及其对人类健康的影响。Rajoir（Sarankhola）、Gangarampur（Batiaghata）和Ganapatipur（Kalaroa）村庄据称是从海岸线、临时海岸和内陆海岸指定的。数据在2022年7月至10月期间采用半结构化问卷收集，并通过SPSS进行分析，使用Arc GIS生成地图。总体而言，约9.6%、36.3%和54.1%的受访者对环境卫生和个人卫生有良好、中等和较差的了解。总体而言，约57%的受访者使用过卫生厕所。大约67%的受访者声称，他们的孩子被扔在厕所里，其次是在房子周围（16%）。约70%、83%和84%的受访者在海岸线、临时和内陆地区排便后用肥皂/洗手液洗手，其次是34%、35%和27%的受访者在用餐前洗手；19和4%；9、21和16%。除海岸线（0.677）和内陆（0.718）地区的水容器外，清洁指数分为令人满意的水平。约96%（海岸线）、91%（临时）和95%（内陆）的受访者声称，女性在取水过程中发挥着直接作用。根据卫生检查工具，总共有6%、41%、47%和3%的管井被分为非常高、高、中和低风险类别。大约57%（海岸线）、48%（临时）和36%（内陆）的水源属于“高”类。该研究建议甲酸盐管理委员会监督适当的卫生和个人卫生系统。关键词：沿海地区；人类健康；清洁度；卫生检测工具版权所有（c）2023 Geosfera Indonesia和詹伯大学地理教育系本作品根据知识共享署名共享类似4.0的国际许可证获得许可
