Books and manuals providing further advice. 330 $aHealth is determined by many factors, including income, environmental conditions - such as access to adequate sanitation and safe water supplies - individual behaviour, and health services. More than half of the world's population lives in villages and rural areas and most of those without access to safe water sources or basic sanitation are rural dwellers. Enabling rural populations to protect and improve their health is a major challenge worldwide. In response to this, an informal ''healthy villages'' movement has evolved. A healthy villages project promotes local actions by community members, mobilizing human and financial resources to build healthy environments and promote healthy behaviours. This guide is intended to provide community leaders with information to assist them in implementing and sustaining a healthy villages project. It covers topics such as water and sanitation, drainage, waste management, housing quality, domestic and community hygiene, and provision of health services, providing extensive source materials for adaptation to local needs and conditions. 606 $aRural health$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 606 $aPublic health$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 606 $aRural health services$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 615 0$aRural health 615 0$aPublic health 615 0$aRural health services 676 $a362.1/04257 700 $aHoward$b Guy$01702551 701 $aBogh$b Claus$01702552 712 02$aWorld Health Organization. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813192403321 996 $aHealthy villages$94087142 997 $aUNINA
