A Study on Participatory Attitudes and Behaviors of Rural Residents in Sanitation Facilities

Improving sanitation is an important step towards achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Lack of sanitation can lead to the emergence of infectious diseases, which can further lead to serious consequences such as death, poverty and uneven development. Compared with urban areas, rural sanitation facilities are more dispersed, sanitations and toilets are relatively independent, and more dependent on users to manage and maintain them. Therefore, the attitude and willingness of village residents to improve sanitation facilities is crucial to the improvement of sanitation facilities. In order to further explore the attitudes and behavioral mechanisms of village residents towards sanitation improvement. This paper compares and analyzes research on the attitudes of village residents toward improving sanitations and toilets, and combines the results of existing research to give recommendations for enhancing the participation of village residents in sanitation improvements. This review can provide a new idea for future research on the participation attitudes and behaviors of village residents to improve sanitation.
