Household wastewater disposal facilities (SPAL) are an essential component of environmental health and play an important role in preventing environmental pollution resulting from inadequate wastewater disposal. Low ownership of household wastewater disposal facilities remains a concern in the service area of Hunduhon Community Health Center. This study aimed to describe the determinants associated with low household ownership of wastewater disposal facilities (SPAL) in the service area of Hunduhon Community Health Center, East Luwuk District, Banggai Regency. This study employed a descriptive research design. The sample consisted of 76 respondents. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire to obtain information on respondents’ knowledge, income, the role of health workers, the role of the village government, and household ownership of wastewater disposal facilities. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis by presenting frequency distributions and percentages for each study variable. The results showed that the majority of respondents had a good level of knowledge, with 47 respondents (61.8%). Most respondents perceived the role of health workers as limited, comprising 65 respondents (85.5%). The majority of respondents had a low income, accounting for 69 respondents (90.8%), while 61 respondents (80.3%) perceived the role of the village government as limited. In conclusion, low household ownership of wastewater disposal facilities in the service area of Hunduhon Community Health Center was generally reflected in the predominantly low income of households and the limited perceived roles of health workers and the village government, despite the majority of respondents having a good level of knowledge. These findings indicate the importance of strengthening community support, health education, and the involvement of village governments and health workers in improving household wastewater disposal facilities.
