ABSTRACT

The most vital sanitation facility in urban population-dense areas is a public toilet, because its use is varying, thereby potentially becoming a potential disease-transmitting medium, including COVID-19. This case study analyzed the representation of COVID-19-care public toilet in Bibis Wetan RT 03 RW 21 Gilingan, Banjarsari, Surakarta, conducted through observation, in-depth interview, and documentation. Source and research method triangulations were used to validate data. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The result showed that people provide soap and hand sanitizer. Disinfection was conducted routinely by Kelurahan. Water needed for toileting affairs was provided by Surakarta City's PDAM. People collect monthly dues to pay weekly sanitation service and monthly electricity cost. People wear mask and wash hands using soap and flowing water in accessing public toilet.
