2000 Questionnaires and Codebooks
Community
The 2000
Community Profile (English | Thai)
was conducted in all of the Nang Rong
villages, including but not limited to ones part of the 1994 data
collection. It collected information about the village history,
population size and composition, education, cropping, water sources,
agricultural technology, occupations, temples, transportation and
communication, health and family planning services and village
settlement.
Household
The 2000 household survey consisted of a complete household
census in each of the 51 villages that participated in the 1984 and 1994
data collections. Over the years, the 1984 and 1994
households changed in numerous ways. If the household split
into two or more households then one and only one was designated as the
successor household. The successor household was
administered the Old Household survey
(English
| Thai),
while the other households, plus any other households that
formed after 1994, were administered the New
Household survey (English
| Thai). If a successor household was not found in the village at all, then a Moved Household survey (English
| Thai) was completed by asking a villager(s) about the members from that "lost" household.
The information collected from these three household surveys not only provided basic
demographic data but also information about individual migration
experiences (both temporary and permanent), life history events, sibling
relationships, household characteristics, and data about household
socio-economic status and labor exchange networks. An innovative task
within the old and new household surveys was linking households to the parcels of
land they use/own, obtaining a 3-year crop history on these parcels of
land, and identifying the current users/owners of neighboring parcels
of land. The 51 villages from 1984 split administratively into 76
villages by 1994 and then into 92 villages by 2000. Everyone
living in any of the original or split villages was included in the
data collection.
Migrant Follow-Up
The 2000-2001 Migrant Follow-Up survey collected data from
migrants
from 22 of the original 51 villages. The 22 villages were selected
randomly within strata created by cross-classifying general location
(quadrant) and distance from major paved roads in 1984. In the
first phase of the migrant follow-up, migrants were candidates if they
had gone to one of four destination areas:
Bangkok and surrounds; the Eastern Seaboard (a focus of rapid growth and
development), Korat (a regional city), or Buriram (the provincial
city). These migrants were administered the Rural to Urban
Migrant Follow-Up survey (English
| Thai).
In the second phase of the migrant follow-up, migrants were candidates
if they had gone to another village in the Buriram
province. These migrants were administered the Rural to Rural
Migrant Follow-Up survey (English
| Thai).
