Analyzing the Key Barriers in Implementing Eco-Toilet Ssystems (ETS) under Uncertainty via Neutrosophic Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) Method

Over two billion (109) people have no or limited access to sanitation and more than two-thirds of these unserved people are also found in the rural communities. As still many areas in the Philippines use septic tank systems, most effluent is likely to be discharged without proper treatment and contr...
