Access to safe sanitation plays a crucial role in public health and sustainable development. In Indonesia, the open defecation rate has been reduced to 5.6%, and access to improved sanitation is available to 80.29% of the population. The WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme has acknowledged the role of shared sanitation in achieving Sustainable Development Goal 6b. Shared sanitation facilities offer a practical interim solution for densely populated slums and present a cost-effective alternative to individual household facilities. However, the functional sustainability of these facilities is often truncated by poor operation and maintenance. Users' acceptance, satisfaction, and cooperative behaviours in operating and maintaining shared sanitation facilities play a great role in the sustained use of these facilities. This study aims to identify psychosocial factors affecting the sustained desired behaviour for maintaining shared sanitation facilities. Using a case study in Ciwalengke, Majalaya, this study utilises RANAS and IBM-WASH models. The RANAS model consists of five psychosocial factors (Risk, Attitudes, Norms, Abilities, and Self-regulation) for new behaviour to take its root in a person. The risk factor contains perceived vulnerability, perceived severity, and factual knowledge; the attitude factors contain instrumental beliefs and affective beliefs; the norm factors contains descriptive norm, injunctive norm, and personal norm; ability factors contains action knowledge, self-efficacy, maintenance of self-efficacy, and recovery of self-efficacy; the self-regulation factors contains action control/planning, coping planning, remembering, and commitment. The Integrated Behavioural Model for Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (IBM-WASH) is a multi-dimensional behavioural model. The structured interview results with 135 participants in Ciwalengke are useful for designing behavioural interventions to achieve SDG 6.2
