| Abstract | In Ho Chi Minh City there has still occurred the faecal sludge dumping, in practice only 16% of the all faecal sludge was collected by licensed service providers and was disposed with treatment (2012). Analysis of faecal sludge emptying and collection services were implemented by desk reviews, quanlitative and quantitative studies. The survey results show that the customer’s profile with the emptying frequency, ways to contact to faecal sludge mptying service, criteria of selecting faecal sludge emptying and collection services, the price of service, the bargaining of pricing service. In addition, the faecal sludge emptying and collection service provider’s profile was found out the types of service providers, kind of activities, sales service, value chain of service provider, number of trucks and employee of the faecal sludge emptying enterprises. Moreover, the public providers had a small portion but more advantage competitive in emptying market because of susidizing by government. Unlike, the private providers had a remaining portions in market share but also there were a large portions without licenses. In summary, there were three current business sizes in supplying the faecal sludge emptying and collection services in HCMC. The medium business size is more effective model than small and large business sizes in finacial aspect. Because there are optimizing of key resources which maximzed the key resources and key material with the capacities of emptying trucks (2,3 and 5 m³) for enhancing revenue and limiting their expenditures. The study findings suggest options for combination between public and private sectors in faecal sludge management and treatment systems in sustainable development. |
