The level of accessibility and safety of using sanitation facilities in homes is measured by counting the number of different types of toilets per the number of people using them.

The level of personal hygiene is determined by basic hand hygiene, the presence of a hand-washing station and access to water and soap in homes located within 10 meters of sanitation facilities, as well as access to sanitation facilities.

The level of hygiene at the household level is determined by storing drinking water in a safe way to prevent water pollution and maintain its quality.

The level of hygiene at the village level is determined by the level of safe disposal of household waste, which does not harm human health and the environment.

These indicators help to determine how well the population is provided with sanitation services and help make decisions to improve the availability of such services in underserved areas.

Accessibility of sanitation facilities such as toilets refers to having them in the right place at the right time for use. It also means that facilities must be sufficiently accessible for use by the people who need them, including people with disabilities and children. It is also important to ensure that sanitation facilities are safe to use, which includes proper cleaning and hygiene around them.

The level of accessibility and safety of using sanitation facilities in homes is measured by counting the number of different types of toilets per the number of people using them. There are four levels of access to household toilets among the rural population:

“Full Access to Improved Toilets” Tier: People have access to improved toilets in their home or on their property, providing the highest levels of hygiene and comfort.

Level "access to improved toilets with some restrictions": people have access to toilet facilities that provide a higher level of hygiene and comfort. These improved toilets include facilities that allow for the safe disposal of excreta, such as flush toilets with a sewer connection, septic tank, etc. But at the same time, some toilets are shared by several houses.

Level “access to unimproved toilets”: people have access to toilet facilities that do not safely dispose of excreta, such as pits or open ditches, which may be hazardous to human health and the environment. Some toilets are shared between several houses.

The "no access" level means that people cannot use the toilet facilities because they are not accessible. Or, if toilets are available but are in such poor condition that they become dangerous to human health and the environment, this is also considered a lack of access.

High level of personal hygiene: availability of water and soap for washing hands at any time in a convenient place. Helps prevent the spread of bacteria and infections, maintain health and improve quality of life.

Limited level of personal hygiene: observed when households have facilities for handwashing, but there is no access to soap and/or water in the house. Thus, this level suggests that people may only use water or other resources available to them to clean their hands, which may not effectively protect them from contact-borne infections and diseases.

Poor personal hygiene: If households lack access to water and soap for handwashing, residents will not be able to maintain proper hygiene levels, increasing the risk of contracting infections such as diarrhea and other hand-borne diseases.

Some recommendations for the safe storage of drinking water include the use of clean storage containers, regular cleaning of containers, and tight lids to prevent microorganisms or contaminants from entering the water. You should also avoid storing water near chemicals or other contaminants.

Household hygiene is measured by the percentage of homes in which drinking water is properly stored in relation to the total number of homes.

Household waste disposal is a process that involves the collection, transportation, treatment and/or disposal of household waste. In addition, this indicator takes into account the level of open defecation (disposal of human faeces in fields, forests, bushes, open water, beaches or other open places or with solid waste). The higher the recycling rate and the more regular the collection and treatment of waste, the higher the level of hygiene in the region.

Waste disposal methods are analyzed, such as incineration, burial, processing, removal to a landfill, etc. One of the goals of the SDGs is to increase the level of safe waste management. Hazardous disposal methods include the following practices that should be eliminated:

• Waste incineration: The incineration of household waste can lead to the release of toxic substances and air pollution. This can adversely affect human health and lead to air pollution.
• Landfill: Burying waste in the ground or dumping it into water sources results in soil and water pollution. This can cause ecological destruction and threaten living organisms, including humans and animals.
• Unauthorized dumping: The dumping of waste in prohibited or inappropriate places, such as nature reserves, rivers or water bodies, is illegal and pollutes the natural environment.
