Data for Estimating the Significant Factors Affecting Households’ Faecal Waste Reuse: Towards a Sustainable Incentive to Open Defecation Eradication

Data was gathered through a questionnaire survey adopting the face-to-face interview approach in order to achieve maximum recovery of data. The study adopted a four-level multi-stage survey approach from the state to the polling units level. Using the systematic random sampling technique on the basis of the 5th building interval, 11 households were administered questionnaires within 1 kilometer radius of each of the 10 randomly selected polling units in Ogijo/Likosi ward ; 10 households were administered questionnaires within 1 kilometer radius of each of the 10 randomly selected polling units in Ilaro I; while 12 households were administered questionnaires within 1 kilometer radius of each of the 10 randomly selected polling units in Sodeke/Isale‐Ijeun I a total of 110, 100, and 120 questionnaires were respectively administered in Ogijo/Likosi, Ilaro I, andSodeke/Sale‐Ijeun I wards, making 330 altogether. The selected criteria reflect the variance in the populations of 1,250,435(33%), 1,112,761(30%), and 1,387,944(37%) for Ogun East, Ogun West and Ogun Central, respectively. The total of 330 households that was surveyed through the probabilistic methods adopted actually represent about 0.06% of the 535,877 households in Ogun state. Given the household survey approach adopted by the research, whereby household members represent the observation units, 1561 observations, which suggest an average of 5 members per household were recorded and coded for data analysis. The research hypothesis is that developed constructs such as Awareness about reuse opportunities associated with sludge(AW), Economic Factors of faecal waste reusability(EC), Environmental/Health factors of faecal waste reusability(EV), Social acceptability factors of faecal waste reusability(SA) ,and Factors of sanitation technology(ST) are the significant factors affecting households' faecal waste reuse. Following the subjection of data to cleaning because of the sensitivity of the structural equation modeling process to missing data , AMOS was used to perform the pooled confirmatory factor analysis process. The pooled confirmatory factor analysis process, however, took the form of several re-estimations,based on the deletion of lowly loading factors and correlation of redundant items, validation of the model, assessment of normality,and full structural model analysis.The structural model established a significant positive relationship between Environmental/Health Factors of Faecal Waste Reusabil
