Interviewer instructions

You will find that some respondents are not familiar with units of area measurement such as hectares or acres. If you feel the respondent is not comfortable with these units then do not force him/her to use them. Rather ask him/her to indicate the size by comparing to (i) a football field (which is around 1 acre, but do check that the local football field is standard) or (ii) anything else that can be shown to you and from which you could make an area estimate yourself. Your supervisor will train you on estimating plot sizes. Once you have established the first plot size you can use this to calculate the others as a multiple of them. E.g. The ‘plot close to John’s house’ is 2 times bigger than the ‘plot in the valley’.
