The significant influential factors are trust, knowledge and attitude. While other factors simultaneously affect the citizen in behaving using healthy latrines.The conclusion is that the behaviour created by individual knowledge, attitudes and actions in accessing healthy latrines, it will be established and successful if the cultural factor approach is carried out simultaneously. The concept of a person about something is the impact of the way of thinking about something based on the culture containing non-individual but public meaning, so when the system of meaning belongs to the collective society, society can have the same pattern of behaviour.
