Ask the respondent to describe the kind of toilet facility that the household is using and then classify and record it according to the following given classification of toilet facilities.
Description
Type of toilet facility - the kind of toilet facility that the household is using
The purpose of this question is to obtain a measure of the sanitation level of the household, since toilet facilities are important for disease control and health improvement.
The classification of toilet facilities are as follows:
1. Flush toilet (water-sealed). As the name implies, it is the type of toilet where after water is flushed or poured into the bowl, a small amount of water is left in the bowl and seals the bottom of the bowl from the pipe leading to the depository. Examples of this are flush type with septic tank (commonly known as poso negro) or pour-flush type connected to a pit.
Record the flush type of toilet as "own toilet" if the household has exclusive access to the toilet. Otherwise, the type of toilet should be reported as "shared"
2. Closed pit (sanitary pit or privy). A nonwater carriage type toilet facility where pit is dug to a depth of 4-6 feet large enough to hold wastes for several years. A floor cover at the top of the pit is provided together with a riser, seat, and self-closing lid, all made as fly-tight as possible. Vents maybe provided. Example of this is Antipolo.
3. Open pit. A squat-type of toilet over a pit with no provision for fly prevention.
4. Drop type/overhang type. A drop type of toilet has enclosures or with roofing but no pit is made (pig system). Overhang type is a toilet constructed over a body of water (either sea or river).
5. No toilet/field/bush. Households which do not have toilet facilities may resort to defecate along the railway, river/canal, in the field or behind the bushes, and the like.
The codes for toilet facilities are the following:
11 - Flush toilet; own toilet
12 - Flush toilet; shared toilet
21 - Pit toilet/latrine; close pit
22 - Pit toilet/latrine; open pit
31 - Drop/overhang
41 - No toilet/field/bush
96 - Others (specify)
