Rapid urban population growth often poses challengessuch as overcrowding, poverty, and the creation of slums with low sanitation levels. low sanitation level. Pontianak City with a population increase of 1.38% has the potential to worsen these conditions. worsen the condition. In 2024, the sanitation achievement in Pontianak only reached 66%, with 500 households still practicing open defecation. (open defecation). Slum areas in Pontianak, especially along the Kapuas River, are facing domestic wastewater management issues, with 54% of latrines built are not up to standard. In the slum areas of Panglima A. Rani and Kayu Manis Slum Area, the level of use of domestic wastewater facilities is very low, with only 5.17% of communities use collection systems in the form of nonconforming culverts and 100% of domestic wastewater is collection system that does not meet the standard and 100% of domestic wastewater flows directly into the river, while river water is still used as a source of clean water by some communities. community. This study aims to determine the appropriate technology to reduce pollution and the health impacts caused by domestic wastewater pollution in the pollution at the site, taking into account the environmental conditions influenced by the tidal environmental conditions influenced by river tides and community acceptance. From the analysis, the Tripikon-S technology was selected as the solution. Using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and Empowerment Framework with the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method, this research was conducted. Equation Modeling (SEM) method, this research analyzes the factors that influence technology acceptance and community participation. affecting technology acceptance and community participation. The result of the analysis quantitative analysis with PLS-SEM on SmartPLS V.3.0 shows that variables Facilitating Conditions and Social Influence variables have a significant effect on community acceptance (path coefficient 0.373 and 0.291; t-stat> 1.96 and p <0.05), while Effort Expectancy and Performance Expectancy do not have a significant effect on community acceptance. significant effect. In analyzing community participation, the variable Opportunity Structure variable is significant (path coefficient 0.462; t-stat > 1.96 and p < 0.05), while Opportunity Expectancy and Performance Expectancy have no significant effect. p < 0.05), while Agency has no significant effect. Stakeholder and community acceptance acceptance of Tripikon-S has been good, with more than 50% of respondents indicating a positive intention to adopt the technology. positive intention to adopt the technology. However, adoption can be done through integration of Tripikon-S in existing or new programs as grants or government subsidies, given the limited ability to pay. or government subsidy, given the limited ability of the community to pay in the construction of domestic wastewater technology units of less than IDR 1,000,000.
