This traditional style also involves autonomy in terms of infrastructure: the toilet outside the house, in the yard, the households having their own source of water, septic tanks instead of sewerage and even transport with animals and traditional wooden vehicles. The purpose of our study is to measure the perception of those people regarding the reflection of their image in mass-media and social media. The toilet in the yard (outdoor) had become subject for bullying and public shaming, not only as an indicator for economy. The research uses both empirical and theoretical methods, qualitative and quantitative: Analysis of statistical data and case studies, as well as the Sociological Survey.
