ABSTRACT

This research investigates the significant question regarding which local contextual factors influence the construction of On-Site Sewage Treatment and Disposal System(OSTDS). Within the context of natural of water(common pool resources) and decentralized OSTDS, transaction cost theory is employed as a theoretical foundation. Based on theoretical and empirical evidences, the administrative profession, regional demographic status, local politics and number of service providers are positively associated with increasing the OSTDS construction. The importance of governmental policy support, citizen participation and voluntary action provide a credibility of the OSTDS operation and successfully promote economical and environmental outcome by the OSTDS. Furthermore, the local governments need to expand their efforts such as sewer policy flexibilities and interaction with citizen for increasing citizen commitment and reducing regional conflicts, resulting in well organized site selection or types of sewer facilities. Lastly, this research provides advance literature about the OSTDS in terms of social science approach with transaction cost theory.
