This paper describes the potential of ecological sanitation (ecosan) to provide sustainable excreta disposal in emergency situations and in peri-urban areas or slums in developing countries. It proposes eight criteria for the applicability of ecosan based on analysis of three case studies representing different types of emergency situations.
