INTRODUCTION• A public toilet is a single unit featuring a toilet and hand basin
for hand washing
• Inadequate provision has a significant effect on public health and environmental issues, particularly in terms of street cleanliness and disease control
• Places – where we live, shop, work, take recreation – are more accessible and attractive when public toilets are well planned, designed, maintained
• Lack of toilet facilities at the right time in the right place contributes to dirty streets that are unsanitary, unpleasant and can spread infection

SEQUENCE OF STEPS
Find density of population
Find the area of locality
Questionnaire survey
Current number of public toilets in the area
TASK COMPLETED4
Final locations of proposed toilets
Analysis of data collected
Interpretation of data
Satisfactory
Not satisfactory
Preliminary step: Identifying key requirements and
prerequisites
• Market places; near parks, recreational areas, educational institutions, tourist spots; bus stops, etc.
• Places where there is adequate water supply
• Places where it is convenient to maintain (i.e. cleaning and repair works) and there is sufficient availability of labour
• Places where they are visible enough to address the needs of pedestrians as well as people moving in vehicles
• Places where eating joints are not in close vicinity
PUBLIC TOILETS SHOULD BE LOCATED AT :

*
*based on our theoretical grounding
Step1: Area and population density
• Area and population density- to give an estimate on the number of toilets needed in the locality
• SOURCES: Census of India, Maps of India
6
Step 2: Analysis of current situation
• To analyse the current situation, a map of that locality is used and the current public toilets are marked;
• SOURCES: Maps of India, Google Earth, Google Maps
• With reference to Step 1, it is checked whether the present number of toilets are sufficient or not

Step 4: Analysis of data
• The secondary data collected in step1 and primary data collected in step 3 are analysed using bar charts, pi charts and venn diagrams
• This is for the ease of interpretation of the data

Step 5: Interpretation of data
• Gender and Age: to determine the type of population
• Travel duration, distance: to assess the need for public toilets
• Physical disability: to assess the comfort level
• Preference of locations: to identify exactly where toilets are most needed- From the given data, it is observed that toilets are most required near bus stops, educational institutions and parks and least needed near businesses or market places
• No. of toilets v/s No. of required toilets: to make sure that there are sufficient number of toilets- It is observed that the no. of toilets available are insufficient as the no. of toilets required is higher by a large scale
• Comfort: to determine whether people will use the toilets after they are built

• Based on data analysis and interpretation, places where public toilets had to be constructed are located
Step 6: Final locations of proposed Toilets
