Abstract
The problem of malnutrition, including stunting, is greatly influenced by environmental
sanitation and personal hygiene. This paper examines the influence of the availability of
trash bins, Waste Water Drainage Channels (Saluran Pembuangan Air Limbah or
SPAL), and toilets on the incidence of stunting in toddlers in the Coastal Area of
Tamangapa Village. This paper was a quantitative descriptive study. This study was
conducted in Tamangapa Village from September to November 2024. The population
was mothers with toddlers in Tamangapa Village, Pangkep Regency. The sample
consisted of 72 respondents. The data source used primary data obtained through
questionnaires. The analysis test used regression analysis. The results showed that the
availability of trash bins (p = 0.000), SPALs (p = 0.000), and toilets (p = 0.003) affected
the incidence of stunting in toddlers. In conclusion, the availability of basic sanitation
(including trash bins, wastewater disposal channels, and toilets) has a significant impact
on the incidence of stunting in toddlers in the coastal area of Tamangapa Village,
Pangkep Regency.
