Abstract

Adaptive - inclusive toilet design strategy was needed to respond the local unique toileting culture of Surabaya people, especially the urban migrant. The urban migrants of Surabaya live insecurely/ unsafely in the slum because of potential of Kampung eviction/ demolition. Because of the limited economic condition and anxieties about sustainable occupation of land, they constructed the temporary shelters from the recycled materials. To answer the need of migrants’ sanitation, an inclusive portable toilet was produced based on toileting culture and design principles. The project involved steps such as: literature review, interview and photo documentation, socialization of healthy toileting culture, participative design workshop, and design development. The program was related to UNDK and supported by UBCHEA grant (https://unitedboard.org/).
