The view of environmental sanitation should exceed the dominant technical concept to be seen from a sociopolitical interpretation within the New Democratic Governance model. I studied the concepts used in two suburbs and a rural settlement. The conditions of the environmental context are important in the formation of the ideas around the problems and their possible solutions. The concepts, values and dominant attitudes in use have been assigned by the the State during its interaction with networks. This results in oversimplification of a complex problem.
