Fig 9. Boti Village: Boti as a
rural and remote case study
presented some interesting
environmental health
results. There were a
number of environmental
health factors which were
found to be no longer
relevant to Boti village.
Without any rubbish waste
to become a source of
environmental degradation, traditional draining and sanitation systems also substituted
for the need for concrete box toilets and large man made piping systems. Due to
geographic location and remoteness, the need for paving and roads was also found to no
longer be necessary since these villages were more self-sufficient. These communities did
not need to make frequent trips to the city.

some traditional ‘dirt floor’ houses.
However, they are steadily becoming
more of a rarity.
Now not as many people live in the
traditional Ume kbubu.
