Using tenure to build a “sanitation cityscape”: narrowing decisions for targeted sanitation interventions Pippa Scott Andrew Cotton M. Sohail (Khan) 2134/17463 https://repository.lboro.ac.uk/articles/journal_contribution/Using_tenure_to_build_a_sanitation_cityscape_narrowing_decisions_for_targeted_sanitation_interventions/9583121 Sanitation interventions routinely overlook the implications of secure tenure for investment on the part of households. Drawing upon primary field research in Dakar, this paper presents a citywide sanitation planning framework that combines existing sanitation planning approaches with householders’ investment logic as a function of their tenure security and status. The resulting framework, the Sanitation Cityscape, maps what is happening to faecal material on a citywide scale and why, thus providing a snapshot of the sanitation status of the city and a rationale for targeted interventions along the sanitation service chain. The paper offers an approach for policymakers and practitioners to narrow the decision-making process for citywide sanitation service provision. It aims to target urban sanitation interventions that are appropriate to the urban tenure mix, including non-networked systems, and a greater emphasis on widening the scope of sanitation service provision to include tenure-neutral operational activities, such as faecal sludge management. 2015-05-08 14:12:48 Citywide sanitation Investment Sanitation planning Self-supply Tenure mix Tenure security
