    International Journal of u- and e- Service, Science and Technology Vol.8, No.3 (2015), pp.77-88 http://dx.doi.org/10.14257/ijunesst.2015.8.3.07 Measuring Levels of End-Users’ Acceptance and Use of UDDT Tomas U. Ganiron Jr Te Roopu Taurima O Manukau, Otahuhu, Auckland College of Architecture, Qassim University, Al-mulaidah, Buraidah DOST Engineering and Science Education Project (ESEP).Taguig City [email protected] Abstract This study focuses on a new improvement for the success of ecological sanitation project by using urine diverting dehydrating toilets (UDDTs). This concept links human waste to food security, recognizing the value of treated human waste for fertilizer. This shows that the UDDT is an efficient way to prevent the mixing of urine and feces by providing an area for these separate waste products to be treated. The level of acceptance toward UDDTs concept is acceptable to the people in San Fernando, La Union since they have no existing sewer and drainage system especially on the area of the bay side residents. Keywords: Construction materials, ecosan, ecological sanitation, recycling waste, uddt 1. Introduction Today, billions of people in urban as well in rural areas have no proper sanitation. Approximately 6000 children die every day from diarrhoeal diseases related to inadequate sanitation and hygiene. About 1 billion people worldwide, mostly children are infected with worms and as a result suffer nutritional deficiencies and poor growth. Both of these groups or diseases are transmitted through human faeces in the environment. Many areas are suffering from chronic fresh water shortages and the demand for freshwater has tripled in the past 50 years.
