Subscribe/Renew Journal
Water treatment is an effort to improve the quality of drinking water. The use of Moringa Oliefera can be the first choice besides being safer and easier to obtain in the surrounding environment. However, to improve the ability of water treatment the community needs to consider various factors that influence behaviour change. Empowerment as an intervention concept used by researchers to bring up new behaviours in the management of drinking water treatment. This study aims to explain the model of water treatment to improve the quality of drinking water.
Empowerment will influence various factors that will change people’s behaviour. RANAS (risk, attitudes, norms, abilities, and self-regulation) is a formation to create new behaviour based on five blocks related to sanitation and water management. RANAS is based on the psychological theory of health, which postulates that for the formation of new habitual behaviour, five blocks of new behavioural factors include: risk factors, attitudes, normative factors, ability factors, and self-regulation. One of the improvements in water quality can be done by giving Moringa Olivera. New behavioural improvements in water and sanitation management are expected to reduce diarrheal disease in the community.
