To determine the effect of community behavior in community activities on the banks of the Martapura river and sanitation, descriptive qualitative methods were used through triangulation of data source techniques. The results of the observational analysis showed that the knowledge and attitudes of the community towards PHBS and sanitation activities on average had gone well, but about 25 percent of the people living on the banks of the Martapura River had not implemented their knowledge by tending to do MCK activities and throw garbage directly into the river. Based on observations of the Martapura river that has begun to be polluted, this indicates the existence of pollution from domestic waste disposal in the form of MCK and garbage disposal from traditional market activities. The behavior of the community that still dumps garbage into the river, the existence of traditional markets on the edge of the river, and there are still people who use latrines located in the Martapura river for manci washing latrines which causes the Martapura River is still polluted]]>
