Summary

TNUSSP carried out a geographic information system (GIS) based sanitation mapping of households and establishments in the two town panchayats of Periyanaicken-Palayam and Narasimhanaicken-Palayam with an aim to primarily understand the nature of containment and on-ground desludging practices to enable more effective planning. It also included the preparation of GIS-linked database of properties (with households and establishments) covering key FSM parameters. With both spatial and non-spatial inputs, the study aimed to support the Town Panchayats in effective decision-making across the sanitation chain.
