This study was conducted to evaluate the application possibility of environment-friendly rural toilet developed by NRLSI (National Rural Living Science Institute). The evaluation tests of rural toilet consist of composting efficiency, component analysis of odor, and economic efficiency. The test showed that the remaining quantity of wastes was only 14.7% during 10 months. The ammonium gas, main component of ill odor, was not measured, and the other components or odor were significantly detected less than those in pit toilet. The saved PVC (Present Value Cost) of the toilet management cost for thirty years is about 2,457,000 wons compared with flushing toilet supported by a single sanitation facility.
