BEHAVIORAL FACTORS IN SELECTION OF TECHNOLOGIES
By Gilbert F. White^ and Anne U. White^

’TV HFAI TH CPI L

INTRODUCTION

Where a well-known technology is provided to a population that has long
been acquainted with its use, the problems of predicting patterns of social
behavior are relatively simple.

The difficulties arise when a new tech­

nology is introduced to a population which is not accustomed to it.

It is

in these circumstances that there are few if any local lessons from the past

to apply, so that it becomes important to rely either on comparable experi­

ence elsewhere or analysis based on established relationships of human
behavior, preference and motivation.

In this paper we point out some of the

all too abundant evidence that behavioral factors may be critical to the

success of new water and sanitation installations and to their effects on
public health, note those situations in which behavioral factors in fact are
critical, suggest some of the circumstances which affect the development of
new patterns of behavior, and indicate those situations in which a system of

community participation may avoid unnecessary expense or failure.

WHEN BEHAVIOR IS IGNORED

Although there have been only a few systematic studies of the circum­

stances in which new projects have failed because of lack of receptivity by

the user community, the literature is replete with anectdotal evidence of
those events:

the standpipe in Ethiopia that is destroyed by people living

immediately adjacent to it and objecting to noise (1); the new water tap in

the Ryukyu Islands which is accompanied by a towel on which all of the
children in the community wipe their hands, thus spreading trachoma (2); the
communal latrine in Nigeria that goes unused.

There are also the aquaprivies

that are first used and then abandoned, and the faucets which are ripped off

of the pipes and the metal used to fashion ornaments.

All of these are

examples of misuse of facilities which had been installed with the intention
of promoting health and well-being of the users.

In each case something went

wrong in the design or construction or operation and maintenance.

CRITICAL SITUATIONS

As noted at the outset, there are numerous situations in which attention

to behavioral factors may be relatively perfunctory or routine.

These are

the situations where a population of known ethnic and economic composition is

being presented with a new facility of exactly the same type as that which

has been used enthusiastically by the same type of population elsewhere.

In

these circumstances the design engineer can replicate with confidence the

design and administrative arrangements in the comparable place and assume
that the community acceptance will be equivalent.

This degree of confidence

is warranted especially where the facilities which are being provided are
the sole option open to the user as, for example, where a tap system is pro­

vided for a city population which has no other sources of water available
from roof or ground.

There the users have no choice of the source, although

they may exercise some options as to how they misuse the equipment or waste

the water.

.) the range of possible physical design, 2) the prevailing behavior

ss of the potential users, 3) the facilities provided for community
flpation and 4) the nature of educational and informational activities

lire carried out by the comnunity authorities.

The design includes

iy the physical facilities of supply, treatment, transportation and

uution, but the administrative design for means of construction and
aance, and the arrangement for pricing or other means of payment
cost of the improvement.

1) they may use the

fries without any significant change in their current behavior

as, for example, when a family begins using a private courtyard

hnere is to take advantage of a daily collection system); 3) they

iiise the facility, as when they throw garbage into the latrines or
water from a community faucet run until the temporary supply is

eed; 4) they may utterly reject the facility, as when they refuse

oonize a community latrine or go for water to a nearby stream in

nnce to a new well facility.

oople who accept a new facility generally are required to make some
adjustment in their behavior pattern.

Even more common is the user who takes advantage of the facility for

In this situation the system may fall

into disrepair without any other overt acts by the users.

Oftentimes, however, the refusal to contribute to operation and
maintenance is accompanied by other actions abusing the system.

These

include failure to maintain a pump, delinquency in providing fuel or
chlorine, letting leaking faucets continue to run, breaking off faucets

for other uses, and so forth.

There may occasionally be overt destructive

acts as when some individual or group within a community sabotages the

system, or encourages others to do so.

These acts of adaptation for constructive or of delinquency and
destructive use are easy to catalog and classify.

It is more difficult

to sort out the factors which account for these actions of support,
misuse or rejection.

Individual desire for privacy clearly is a widespread and powerful

-fivation.

People generally prefer to be alone while defecating but

ris is not always the case, as witness the women in Indian villages who

trefer to go to the fields together for defecation so as to have some
'protection and privacy that might otherwise be interrupted.

There is a

long and widespread belief that women like to go to common water sources
in villages because of the opportunities which the journey and waiting in

line provide for them to talk with friends and neighbors.

In our investiga­

tions we have found that this is largely a myth.

Women, given a choice,

would prefer to have their own individual source.

This does not mean

that they necessarily resent meeting others or that they do not gain much
in the way of information and companionship from others at the watering

place.

It does mean that when given an opportunity they will prefer

their own source, but then will be obliged to obtain companionship and

Such considerations often explain why a

mity for no reason having to do with the project design or their own

many users, but this urge always is mediated by the knowledge of the

Related to considerations of individual well-being is a sense of

control over one's own activities, that is, the ability of individuals to
exercise discrimination with respect to the quality of service which they
will enjoy.

From our experience, people when given the opportunity will

exercise considerable discrimination in choosing water sources and means
of excreta disposal.

In Indonesia among the 1.3 million families who use

community piped water supplies, at least 52 percent make the distinction

between potable water for drinking and cooking purposes and unpotable
water which they carry from rivers to use for washing and bathing purposes
(7).

This opportunity for discrimination may be affected by their prior

experience with development activity in the community.

A sense of community well-being on doing what is expected of the
individuals to maintain the wholeness of a community may be a strong

motivation quite independent of the desire for maintenance of individual
31

health and privacy.

The Guatemala community which acts to make an improve­

ment because it has been accepted as the community goal by the leaders is

one example (4).

Another example is the Spanish American community in

New Mexico where a number of the members contribute to a water supply

system because they do not wish to offend neighbors who are deeply committed

to such improvements (5).

The obverse is the unwillingness of people to

cooperate in a project because there are objectionable persons or groups
who are identified with them.

Such considerations often explain why a

community for no reason having to do with the project design or their own
preferences rejects an improvement.

A sense of individual health has been shown to be a primary motivation
for many users, but this urge always is mediated by the knowledge of the

individuals responding to it.

source or means of excreta disposal because they feel it is unhealthy

(7).

This opportunity for discrimination may be affected by their prior

experience with development activity in the community.

In some communities,

for example, efforts at sanitation improvement are closely identified

with earlier colonial authorities, and participation in the new improvement
along the same lines is regarded as some kind of a sacrifice of individual

control in the face of forces of colonialism.
Finally, it is important to recognize that every individual family

or community has its own sense of priorities as to what needs to be done
and as to the acceptable ways of doing it.

They may reject a contribution

towards a sanitation improvement not because they are against the improve­

ment but because they think they can use their resources to better advantage
in building a road or providing an agricultural produce marketing facility.
They may use the brass faucet for creating jewelry rather than for water

supply because the sense of social status is overriding in those circum­
stances.

Other motivations and preferences might be noted, but this is suffi­
cient to indicate their range and their power in influencing the degree
of supportive and destructive response to a proposed innovation.

IGNORING COMMUNITY PREFERENCE

Our basic argument is that in most cases where new design facilities

fail to gain community acceptance one or more of the factors ennumerated

above is at work.

It is possible to go into a community and assess why

some facilities are abused and others rejected, but one would prefer not

to be obliged to make this kind of retrospective appraisal.

The effective

tactic is to take preferences and motivations into account at the outset
as an essential part of the design process.

community participation.

This involves some kind of

COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION

The appeal for community participation is widespread and frequently
voiced, but there needs to be careful definition of what the term means
and of specific modes of involving people in the design process.

At

base, it means providing an opportunity for users of a facility to have a

voice in selecting the different elements in the facility.

Giving them a

voice implies providing for 1) a determination of their current preferences
2) an estimate of their current ability to meet their perceived needs,
3) an estimate of their capacity to adapt to new facilities, and 4) their
maintaining the system in the face of changing preferences over time.

It

should not be expected that preferences and motivations would remain

uniformly the same:

they may be expected to change.

It is possible to

anticipate some of this change by analogy with other communities that

have gone through social change as well as by reference to underlying
preferences that are strong but are not satisfied by existing community
arrangements.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION IN DECISION-MAKING

The artistically difficult and trying judgment to make is to determine
at what time to involve citizens in community decision-making about the

new facility.

Ideally, the initiation of any preliminary exploration of

improvements would come in response to community initiative, with the
community leaders asking for technical assistance in achieving a need
which they already have recognized and which they are determined to

satisfy.

This rarely is the case because communities may have difficulty

34

initially perceiving their needs, may place sanitation in very low priority
at the outset, and may be unaware of steps which they could take to

enlist technical assistance.
Figure 1 suggests the way in which various components of the decision
situation may interrelate over time.

In its condition of imposed design

one sees community behavior patterns as remaining untapped by the engineers

who proceed to make a preliminary and final design, then to construct the
project and impose it on the community.

Depending on the character of

the prior studies or sheer luck the response may range from complete
acceptance, to acceptance with a significant adaptation of behavior, to

rejection.

Many existing water supply systems fit into this pattern.

Where there is participation, the community may, as shown in the
second case in Figure I, have a role in first deciding whether or not a
project will be applied for, and then at three separate times in making

its views known.

Prospective users would have opportunity for a reaction

to preliminary designs, for another reaction to final designs, and for

participation in necessary preparation actions before the final design
gets translated through construction into reality.

A third possibility is where the design is modified through community
participation as above, but where the community comes to understand that
it cannot achieve its ends within the limits of available funds and

customary behavior.

In this case the community decides that modifying

its behavior patterns could allow it to achieve its ends, and that it is

willing to make the necessary modifications.

An extreme example of behavior modification comes in the fourth case
where a constructing authority, having designed a project, sounds out

community preferences and in the light of this undertakes a program of
community education to attempt to assure that the community will be

prepared to modify its behavior so as to use the facility once constructed.

Health centers, or special programs like vaccination, have often taken

this approach.
In brief, there are five major points at which local people can have

a significant role in decision-making with respect to a new project.

First, they may join in deciding whether or not to apply for a project
and thereby to make at least a preliminary canvass of their own sense of

priorities about the needs of the project and their own judgment as to
their capacity to marshall the money, labor and local management facilities

to carry it out.

"

Second, they may participate in the selection of technologies in

relation to their preferences subject always to the constraints of available

money and labor to carry out the undertaking.

Third, they may influence the pricing policies, including the pro­
visions that are made for funding operation and maintenance.

There has

been a good deal of evidence that demand is relatively price-inelastic
for such facilities, but also that any drastic change in prices is likely

to arouse substantial resistance over the short term.

Local people can

indicate what kinds of pricing schedules appeal to them, what modes of
billing and payment are best adapted to their income flows and means of
handling money or other contributions of labor are most acceptable to

them.
Fourth, the local management policies may be most effective if
adjusted at the outset to the modes of action within the community,

including their formal governmental structure as well as the community
networks through which information is transmitted and people join in

arriving at judgments about priorities.

Finally, local people can be of assistance in monitoring the construc­
tion and operation and maintenance of a project and thereby influence the
degree to which it ultimately meets its stated aims.
57

DEVICES FOR ASSURING COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION

In another paper (8), we have discussed some of the tools that can
be employed in carrying out a project so as to assure effective community

participation at the points noted above.

Here we recapitulate in capsule

form what seem to be the chief devices that are readily available to

engineers who are interested in avoiding failure or inefficiency in use.
These involve chiefly two types of community survey, community consultation,

and provision for continued monitoring.

The most informal sort of community survey is one in which an individual
or team enters a community and carries on a series of informal discussions,

with selected members of the community and its official leaders and with
people who are well acquainted with the community.

This can yield pre­

liminary judgments as to how the community views its own health needs and

how it places these in priorities among other community needs, as to its
facility for mobilizing some kind of community action, and as to the

assortment of existing networks of communication and power.

The informal

survey may lead to the judgment that the time is not right for further

action, it may suggest that a substantial amount of community education

and promotional work may be necessary before further action can be taken,
or it may suggest that the time is right for a more intensive kind of

community survey looking to assistance in the design of a project.
Always related to the preliminary inquiry is the assembly of whatever

information of a statistical or anectdotal type is available about the
community from people who have worked in it.

Oftentimes a story or

chance conversation may give insight as to forces which are at work in

the community, but they never should be accepted as fully descriptive of
the community situation.

That can only be determined with any great

confidence by a more careful sample of the total population.
38

It is not necessary to carry out an elaborate census of members of
the community.

A carefully selected sample stratified according to

differences in income and in social groups may reveal a good deal about

the range of motivations and preferences within the community and about
the significant social networks.
From the results of the survey of as few as 30 families in a large

village it is possible to compose a relatively accurate profile of the
community preferences as the type shown in Figures 2 and 3.

This indicates

that the two communities illustrated, one in Haiti and one in the Sudan,
have major differences in their views of their health conditions, the

need for improvements, and their willingness to participate.
The survey may also reveal significant relationships between social
factors and likely participation in the project.

Thus, one finds that in

community A there is strong preference for using an individual source of
water supply whereas community B is less concerned about this factor.
One might also learn that it is the people without latrines and of the

middle and upper income groups who are most likely to support an improvement

for excreta disposal in community C.

The results of such community survey can be invaluable to the designer
in understanding the current practices and information level of the

community, its preferences regarding services, and how these might be met

by design or how they would require modification through education and
consultation if an effective design is to be accepted.
Community consultation may be expected to follow whenever there is a

preliminary design for review with community leaders.

Here it is important

to recognize that the designated or elected leaders of a community are
not always those who are most sensitive to or acquainted with the wishes

or capacities of its people.

Indeed, it may happen that a particular

person or cadre of people in a community are so unpopular that associating

a project with them is assurance of failure at the outset.

It is important

to determine who are the significant people in the community in terms of

passing on information and deriving community judgments.

From this

information which will have been learned in the community survey it is
possible to see to it that representatives of those groups are drawn into
consultation about the preliminary design and subsequently, consultation

about the final design.
It usually is desirable to present two or more but not more than

five alternative choices to the community.

It will be practicable to

know what kinds of information will be significant for the people in

terms of their previously expressed preferences and their indications of

how much they would be willing to pay or contribute and with what groups
they would be willing to work.

The people need to be drawn into the

system of consultation if they are to regard those representatives selected
as having responsibility.

It is essential to learn what kinds of concrete

evidence they would like about the alternatives available:

what it is

that they need to see or touch or have more details about before they can

make any judgment about it.

It also is important for them to be entirely

cognizant of what the costs will be in terms of time, money, or labor.
One of the cautions, beyond those noted above, which needs to be in
the minds of those who participate in community consultation is that

where there seems to be an important discrepancy between preferences and
design it is wise to be cautious about the extent to which the gap can be

bridged by information or educational activities.

Oftentimes an easy

solution is to suggest that materials will be distributed or a motion

picture show will be shown or that community leaders will be informed

about reasons for a design feature which is out of harmony with the
community preferences.

Such educational programs sometimes work, but

often they do not, and it is desirable to be skeptical about the extent
42

to which they will be effective in a particular community.

Suggestions

of the care and continuity needed to make such programs effective can be

found in some manuals such as those for rural health education in Kenya
(9), or for the promotion of rural water projects in Columbia (10).
There is no sure panacea or set of dos and don'ts for taking into

account these factors affecting behavioral patterns.

Unwillingness to

make the effort no doubt is the most common cause of failure of community
water supply and sanitation improvements.

Rarely would one encounter a

situation in which all of the factors noted above would be significant or
in which all of the steps noted above would be required in order to

achieve a thoroughly effective community plan of improvement.

The essential

feature of the approach is to assume at the outset that factors affecting

behavioral patterns need to be taken into account, that community partici­
pation can assist in determining them, and that such effort will generate
greater assurance that the completed project will serve its intended

aims.

43

ABSTRACT:

Behavioral factors such as motivation and preference may be criti­

cal to the success of new water supply and sanitation projects and their
effect on public health.

Once the facilities are installed, the users have

the options of adopting the new facilities without significant change in

behavior patterns, changing behavior patterns to use the facilities, mis­
using the facilities, or rejecting their use entirely.

If it is assumed

at the onset of a project that behavioral factors should be taken into

account, community participation can assist in determining these.

Local

people can have a significant role in decision-making at five points in the

development of a new project:

the decision to apply for assistance in terms

of their own priorities, the selection of technologies within the constraints
of available money and labor, the selection of pricing policies adapted to

their needs, the incorporation of local modes of action into management poli­
cies and information transfer activities, and in monitoring methods.

Tools

for community participation include two types of surveys, community consulta­
tion, and provisions for continuing monitoring.
