Abstract

Use of human excreta as fertilizer is not a new concept. However, with the use of the modern water-flush toilet, human excreta becomes mixed with water and causes environmental pollution. To reemphasize the nutritional value of human urine in the field, a urine diversion toilet was constructed in a community school situated in Kavre, Nepal. The purpose of establishing the urine diversion toilet is to improve hygiene outcomes through promoting proper sanitation and transforming the school community’s regular practice and attitudes towards urine as a resource. To ensure effective implementation of the urine diversion toilets, intervention mapping was used as a guiding framework. The aim of this paper is to document how the urine diversion toilet was planned and implemented in the school and how the urine diversion toilet was connected with the curriculum to address concerns regarding water, sanitation, and hygiene with a focus on sustainability through intervention mapping. This study highlights the benefits of intervention mapping as a systematic and step-by-step process for the planning and implementation of the urine diversion toilet. This study also highlights the benefits of connecting urine diversion toilets with school gardening, and engaging with local government and other stakeholders about the value of the approach.

干预测绘作为规划在尼泊尔Kavre一所社区学校实施尿液转移厕所和生态教育的框架

将人类排泄物用作肥料并不是一个新概念。然而，随着现代抽水马桶的使用，人类排泄物与水混合，造成环境污染。为了在实地重新强调人类尿液的营养价值，在尼泊尔Kavre的一所社区学校建造了一个尿液分流厕所。建立尿液分流厕所的目的是通过促进适当的卫生条件和改变学校社区对尿液资源的常规做法和态度来改善卫生效果。为了确保尿液分流厕所的有效实施，使用了干预绘图作为指导框架。本文的目的是记录尿液分流厕所是如何在学校规划和实施的，以及尿液分流厕所如何与课程相联系，以解决有关水、卫生和个人卫生的问题，并通过干预绘图关注可持续性。这项研究强调了干预绘图作为一个系统和循序渐进的过程来规划和实施尿液分流厕所的好处。这项研究还强调了将尿液分流厕所与学校园艺联系起来的好处，并与当地政府和其他利益相关者就这种方法的价值进行了接触。

期刊介绍： Published since 1982 Waterlines is a refereed journal providing a forum for those involved in extending water supply, sanitation, hygiene and waste management to all in developing countries. Waterlines aims to bridge the gap between research and practice: it encourages papers written by researchers for the benefit of practice and those written by practitioners to inform research and policy. It highlights information sources and promotes debate between different perspectives. Waterlines considers the key challenges facing those in the water and sanitation sector–engineers, health professionals.
