The development of technology in the emergency sanitation sector
has not been emphasised sufficiently considering that the
management of human excreta is a basic requirement for every
person. The lack of technology tailored to emergency situations
complicates efforts to cater for sanitation needs in challenging
humanitarian crisis. Concerns persists on the lack of faecal sludge
management that considers the whole sanitation chain from
containment until treatment. This study focused on the development
of a smart emergency toilet termed the eSOS (emergency sanitation
operation system) smart toilet to address the limitation in
technical options. This toilet is based on the eSOS concept that
takes into account the entire sanitation chain. This study also
addresses the limited time for planning in emergencies by
developing a decision support system (DSS) to help quick selection
of optimal sanitation options. The aim was to enable users of the
DSS to plan their emergency sanitation response within the shortest
time possible. The study aims to contribute toward a better
emergency sanitation response by application of technology
advances.
