Abstract
Human activities on the environment are very important to pay attention and maintain the quality of water,
including efforts to prevent pollution. One of the pollutants is black water waste. The significant impact of black
water waste is that it can pollute water, even directly endanger humans and is feared without the availability of
sanitation facilities for domestic wastewater treatment, public health will decline and affect community
productivity. One area where 20% of the population still practices open defecation is the people of Desa Bleberan
Kecamatan Jatirejo Kabupaten Mojokerto. The behavior of people who are accustomed to open defecation is still
a problem in a number of areas Desa Bleberan. In the eight hamlets in Desa Bleberan which are the benchmarks
of the success of the program towards the ODF Village, namely Dusun Losari and Dusun Bangon , the program
has not been maximally implemented in other hamlets. The purpose of this service is to find out the background
of changes in community behavior, so that it becomes a reference for maximizing the socialization program
towards Desa ODF. Data collection methods in this service include secondary data obtained through interviews
and questionnaires. The results showed that 80% of Losari Hamlet community was able to Open Defecation Free
into defecation through Community Based Total Sanitation Program, whereas Dusun Bangon, on the other hand,
had not been able to change their behavior from open defecation free into defecation behavior large to the toilet
so it is important to do socialization to provide knowledge to the community in increasing community participation
to do self-help as well as assistance and ongoing guidance can provide stimulation to the community to get used
to using the toilet
