The Socio-technical Adoption of Dry Toilets at a Public University in Mexico City (prototype)

This paper reports the findings of a two-year project on the relationship between a university community and its sanitation issues, the potential benefits of decentralized urban sanitation, and methods for transforming university culture regarding these topics. Using a public university in Mexico C...
