Annexe 4. Summary
An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted under urban
commune Buyenzi to contribute to improving the health status of the population,
by highlighting the factors determining the risk associated with slums in urban
area. The investigation lasted the whole month of October 2012 and focused on a
representative sample of 309 plots.
The data collection was made based on a pre-established
questionnaire and an observation checklist. Data processing was done using the
software Microsoft WORD and EXCEL. Data
analysis was done using the Chi-square and Odds Ratio with a risk of error of
5% by Epi info version 7.0.9.34.
The no-risk perception associated with substandard housing is
38.51%. The observations showed that the majority of the population of the
urban commune of Buyenzi (67.96%) lives in unsuitable habitat.
After the analysis, it was found a statistically significant
association between the risk associated with the slums and some variables such
as:
Level of education: OR = 2.01 (95% CI 1.25 <OR <3.23),
profession : OR = 2.55 (95% CI 1.56 <OR <4.17), level of knowledge of
action against substandard housing: OR = 4.09 (95% CI 2.46 <OR <6.78),
regular aeration practices through doors and windows : OR = 5.86 (95% CI 3.42
<OR <10.05), harmful practices exposing the population at risk:
÷2 = 17.17 (p = 0.00018643), system final treatment of solid
waste: ÷2 = 10.01 (p = 0.00669211), wastewater management:
÷2 = 6.78 (p = 0.03376202), health visits: OR = 11.70 (95% CI
6.15 <OR <22.30), drinking water: OR = 2.60 (95% CI 1.62 <OR
<4.16), lighting: OR = 5 , 98 (95% CI 2.88 <OR <12.44), external
noise: OR = 4.47 (95% CI 2.58 <OR <7.76), missing privacy: OR = 2.02 (95%
CI 1.23 <OR <3.31), drainage OR = 4.51 (95% CI 2.68 <OR <7.60),
habitat quality: OR = 15.02 (95% CI 6.65 <OR <33.93), life promiscuity:
OR = 4.38 (95 % CI 2.53 <OR <7.60), number of bedrooms: OR = 2.04 (95% CI
1.14 <OR <3.65).
Recommendations were made in respect of different stakeholders
in hygiene and standards of habitat to fight against risk due to the
habitat.
