Abstract
The objective of this research was to find out the concept for decoding local wisdom in
wastewater treatment. The study consisted of 2 steps. The first was to study local wisdom in
wastewater treatment in two communities to learn about the model in that community. From this
study we found 10models of local wisdom in North Saladang community and 5 models in Bang
Parog community. The second step was to study the reason behind the creation and
development of local wisdom in wastewater treatment in each model. We studied this by
participation, observation and in-depth interviews with the person responsible for creating and
developing the models in both communities. The study results found that the creation and
development of local wisdom in wastewater treatment in both communities is dependent upon
different environmental niches of each household in each community. Understanding about the
environmental niche of each area will play an important role, because not only understanding
the reason why creating and developing that local wisdom, which is a very important part to use
it correctly and appropriately but also be the tool for developing the local wisdom to be
concrete international knowledge.
