Abstrak
Mosques serve as places of worship and public facilities with high congregational mobility, making their sanitation quality a crucial factor in preventing environment-based diseases. This study aims to analyze the basic sanitation quality and environmental health risks in three major mosques in Kendari City: Al-Alam Mosque, the Grand Mosque (Masjid Raya), and Raudhatul Jannah Mosque. This descriptive observational study collected data through physical observations and structured interviews using questionnaires with 15 respondents (mosque administrators). The evaluation parameters refer to the Minister of Health Regulation No. 2 of 2023, covering wudhu (ablution) facilities, toilet facilities, waste management, and environmental drainage. The results indicated that, in general, the sanitation quality in all three mosques met health requirements with an achievement rate above 85%. All locations demonstrated excellent water availability and toilet cleanliness (100%), along with efficient drainage systems to prevent vector breeding. However, a critical gap was identified in personal hygiene at Raudhatul Jannah Mosque, which provided no hand soap (0%), and challenges in the physical quality of wudhu water at Al-Alam Mosque due to coastal environmental influences. Furthermore, waste management remains conventional without independent sorting efforts. It is concluded that while basic infrastructure is highly adequate, improvements in the logistics management of hygiene facilities and site-specific water quality maintenance are necessary to ensure the comprehensive safety of the congregation.
