Abstract | This document reports the findings from Phase 1 (May - August 1992) of an Overseas Development Administration funded project concerning on-plot sanitation in low income areas of urban Africa and Asia. This document presents the results of a literature review and postal survey. More than three hundred documents were examined in the review and material relevant to on-plot urban sanitation has been summarized in sections dealing with technical, health and social and management issues. From the information gained through the literature review, postal survey and investigator's observations in developing countries, seven topics which require more detailed investigation have been identified for Phase 2 of the project. |
