The need for clean water is increasing, especially in urban areas; there are still residents using piped clean water, the rest using groundwater sources, but not all water sources are adequately protected so that they are potentially contaminated.This study aims to analyze using clean water in urban communities.The study was conducted on 188 respondents in Makassar.The survey was conducted using a questionnaire and observations on piped water sources (local water company), protected wells, and unprotected wells at the research site.The Integrated Behavior Model (IBM) approach is expected to know the effect of using clean water in urban communities.The results showed that the importance of using clean water influenced the protected well users' behavior.In the case of unprotected well users, the factors of intention, environmental barriers, and habits influence using clean water.The factors that influence behavior, especially in urban slum areas, vary based on the source of clean water used, so health promotion efforts to change behavior must be developed according to the type of water source used.
