Currently, the global challenges concerning access to basic sanitation mostly relate to rural areas. Despite encouraging progress in regards to this, the world is still far from meeting the Millennium Development Goal for sanitation. Due to the vast and growing investment needs in the sector and budgetary limits, hard choices are entailed in the allocation of public funds, including their assignment to different geographical regions. The aim of this paper is to develop a methodology prioritization for sewerage infrastructure in rural areas, taking into account both the current state of the sewage management system in place and geographical factors related to said system. A set of factors describing the environmental and settlement differentiation has been proposed in terms of the commissioning of sewage management. Environmental factors include various types of water protection and nature conservation areas. Factors of spatial settlement structure include the size, concentration, and shape of built-up areas. These factors were used to classify 207 rural areas in Wielkopolska (Poland), in regards to the investment needs for sewage management. The study provides a useful strategic decision-making tool for assigning priorities and determining the financial distribution of support for investment projects from public funds. It is a proposal for good sewage management practices, aimed at the utilization of solutions, which combine ecological effectiveness and economic efficiency to the fullest extent possible.

“…Domestic wastewater, which contains human and industrial wastewater, including heavy metals and other substances, causes pollution and contamination. Untreated sewage and industrial effluent are typically dumped in the waterways and the Lagos lagoon (Asemota et al, 2011). Siyanbola et al (2011) studied effluent samples from five industries in the Ikeja and Ikorodu Lagos state.…”

The disproportionate populace progression in Lagos, Nigeria, and industrial undertakings have augmented the region's quantity and quality of waste. The magnitude of waste has initiated a disparaging alteration in the ecosystem of Lagos. Combining the population and volume of industrial waste has overwhelmed the city's existing wastewater management system (WWMS). This study offers an exploratory review of contemporary scholarship, which has reconnoitered sustainable WWMS as a conduit for significant interventions. The qualitative data was extracted from secondary and primary sources. Key informant interviews were conducted with the Lagos State Wastewater Management Office officials. A non‐participant observation approach was used to retrieve the Ogba Industrial Estate data in Ikeja. A plastic manufacturing plant in Amowo Odofin and familial residences in Bariga and Surulere served as empirical observation sites. The analysis embraced a sustainability framework, countenancing the construction of a holistic approach inclusive of environmental, political, economic, and social culpability. While the study established associated legal statutes, lawful compliance with WWMS was deficient. Verification includes frustration with multiple taxations, unpredictable government guidelines and scarce land. Derisory prioritization on environmental impact, scant infrastructure and inadequate technical knowledge are rationalizations for non‐compliance with WWMS in Lagos. The study has identified the urgent need for practical, sustainable WWMS to meet an explosive urban population's needs. The realization of cost‐effective WWMS promises to deliver social and environmental benefits while augmenting socio‐economic and health prospects in Lagos.

“…Dari beberapa teknologi pengolahan limbah yang tersedia, IPAL sanitasi taman (sanita atau constructed wetland) diajukan sebagai pilihan. Alasan yang mendasari adalah IPAL sanita sudah terbukti dapat mengurangi kadar polutan air Haryani et al, 2019), ramah lingkungan (Boufaroua et al, 2013), menggunakan prinsip fitoremediasi (Moenir, 2010;Suswati & Wibisono, 2013;Mustafa, 2013), relatif murah (Aryantie et al, 2018;Mustafa, 2013), dan dapat dikelola oleh komunitas masyarakat (Asemota et al, 2011;Bright-Davies et al, 2015). Teknologi ini terbukti berhasil diterapkan di permukiman (Fu et al, 2018).…”

“…Kebijakan alternatif yang direkomendasikan untuk mengisi kekosongan pelayanan pengolahan air limbah domestik di kawasan permukiman Kota Depok adalah dengan menerapkan IPAL sanita (constructed wetland) (Fu et al, 2018) yang relatif murah (Aryantie et al, 2018;Mustafa, 2013) daripada teknologi biofilter (Yudo dan Said, 2017). IPAL sanita dapat menjangkau permukiman perkotaan dengan keterbatasan lahan dan http://dx.doi.org/10.14710/jwl.9.2.172-185 dapat dikelola secara mandiri oleh penduduk (Asemota et al, 2011;Bright-Davies et al, 2015).

Study on domestic wastewater management policies is still minimal. Previous research was based on law. This research was conducted to discuss according hierarchy of regulations, then policy analysis under the stakeholders’ understanding. Wastewater management is important because it involves human health and the availability of clean water. The problem in Depok City is untreated domestic wastewater polluting rivers. This condition is caused by the communal Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) that has not been able to reach all settlements and housing. The study aims to conduct a policy analysis of domestic wastewater management to reduce household pollution in Depok. The study was conducted in 2018. Primary data were consisting of perceptions of domestic waste policy makers at regional to national level. Secondary data were previous studies and policy products of Depok City. Qualitative research is determined by the results of content analysis and stakeholder analysis. Primary data obtained through interviews and focus group discussion. The finding is domestic wastewater pollution comes from settlements established before 2012 and settlements that are not served by integrated communal WWTP in Depok City. These conditions can be overcome by building inexpensive and easy to operate domestic wastewater treatment system. The research recommendation is the application of a constructed wetland. The policy implication is adoption of WWTP system in Depok City regulations.
