DESIGN AND LAYOUT OF TOILETS

Toilets
A toilet is a plumbing fixture primarily intended for the disposal of human
excreta: urine and fecal matter. The word toilet describes the fixture and, especially
in British English, the room containing the fixture.
Types of toilets
The most common toilet in used in our nation is the Squat toilets, in which water
carries the waste into sewers. The most common design in western countries is the
sitting toilet. Flush Toilet are still used by the majority of the world's population.

 • Types of toilets
Public toilets - Public toilets, public lavatories are toilets that are accessible
to the general public with common access from the street.
Toilets for people with disabilities
Some toilet areas (otherwise known as "stalls"), are specially adapted for
people with disabilities. These are wide enough to allow the entry and use
by a person in a wheelchair, and often feature hand-holds or grab bars
bolted to the wall, enabling the person to maneuver onto the toilet, if
necessary.

 Toilets in public transport - There are usually toilets in airliners,
regional rail trains, and often in long-distance buses and ferries, but
not in metros, school buses, trams, and other buses...

A Toilet in Regional Rail Lavatories on aircraft

Lavatories on aircraft consist of a sink, a waste bin, and a toilet. On
aircraft the toilet does not flush with water; rather, suction removes
the waste into a collection bin below cabin level. This type is
generically known as a vacuum lavatory.

Planning Consideration
Arrangements - Facilities should be conveniently arranged with
special attention given to clearance. The room arrangements
should permit more than one family member to its facilities at the
same time.
