The slum area has characteristics such as dense population, living in riverbank, and migrant people dominance and this condition was become challenges to the government of Yogyakarta to fulfill the national goals to declare “stop open defecation” in 2019. The study aimed is to explore the implementation of a CLTS program in urban slums setting. We undertake a qualitative method with a case study design through 16 in-depth interviewees. We selected local government staff and slum dwellers as participants. CLTS Cadres state slum dweller no longer to practice open defecation free, because the governments provide toilet in each lowest administrative division (RT). However, the observation shows some toilets have some problems including no final disposal facilities including septic tank and communal wastewater treatment plant. Furthermore, slum dwellers felt uncomfortable about septic tank next to their house and could not reach the communal wastewater treatment plant due to the difficulty of dense house, higher slope area. The dweller decided to flow disposal directly to the river. The declaration success to force society to maintain their behavior to stop open defecation. However, this program requires the government to collaborate with slum NGOs, Academic Institutions and CBO-s in terms of establishing civil society.
