Fig 7. Nusa Village: Nusa
presented a case of a village
quite close to the core of TTS
(Soe). Most of the basic
environmental health needs
had been met and villagers
did not need to travel far to
reach the core of Soe if the
need arose. Mapping
highlighted that wide-scale
development programs like
PNPM had also assisted in
building additional public
toilets near the market place.

Fig 8. Supul Village: Supul
presented a case of a village a
moderate distance away from
the core of TTS (Soe). The
participatory matrices
highlighted a number of the
environmental health factors
as important but urgency was
found to be only within a midlevel category. The villagers
identified the lake as both a
positive and negative: a
source of water but also as a
potential source of mosquito
MANGANESE MINING
borne diseases. According to
community perspectives, the
huge magnesium mining industry was identified as an environmental health threat since it
had already been believed to contaminate water sources and impact the blood composition
of locals.
