Other Household Survey [hh/oth]
Survey of Village Resource and Rural Infrastructure (VRRI) Wave 1 is the first round of the entire 4 rounds VRRI surveys. Wave 1 took place from August to October 2008, while the mini census conducted in July 2008.
Type of questionnaire used in the wave 1 survey consist of:
- Village General Data Questionnaire
- Village Financial Questionnaire
- Market Price Survey Questionnaire
- Household Questionnaire
- Anthropometry Questionnaire
Survey VRRI (Village Resource and Rural Infrastructure) is a study that aims to understand the ability and willingness of villagers in poor villages to provide the resources to maintain the infrastructure of the village. In this regard, the study will obtain a profile of total net income of a poor village in throughout a year by conducting a survey at both village and household levels.
Village net income profile aims to inform policy makers about the characteristics of village's ability to pay for the maintenance of existing (and future) infrastructure projects and do the costing models for infrastructure maintenance.
By collecting a total net income of villages, it seeks answers to the following research questions: i) Are villagers in poor villages able to finance the cost to maintain their priority infrastructures on their own? ii) If they do, are villagers willing to use the available resources for infrastructure maintenance?
Or, in other words, to what extent do different villagers (within as well as between villages) value existing infrastructures? To that end, the study will collect information on income, the various (positive and negative) risks and shocks faced by poor villages, and the various mechanisms used by households to cope with such risks and shocks; and estimate (through a simulation) the total cost that must be borne by the district for the maintenance of infrastructures that they consider priorities.
There are 2 components of field survey for the study:
(a) Village Survey, consists of panel survey of household and village financial. For the household survey, the survey instrument is mainly focused on questions about assets, income, expenditure, and household demographic characteristics. All household will be examined for a year in 4 rounds (every 3 months). For the village financial survey, the data about income, expenditure, assets, village general characteristics, and village dynamics will be periodically examined.
(b) Infrastructure Survey will perform technical calculations of the cost that would be required to maintain the infrastructure of the village as well. Maintenance costs include routine and periodic maintenance and only covers the cost of maintenance is regulated by the village. Costs should reflect the cost of maintenance for the facilities that have sustainable design (ideal) which may be different from existing designs in the village. Infrastructure Survey will be conducted only once a year. The types of infrastructure that are included in this survey are roads, bridges, and water supply facilities.

Sampling
In this study, we wanted to focus on villages that are representative of the poorer villages in different topographical locations across Indonesia. Hence, we sampled 32 villages in five island groups: Sumatera, Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and East Nusa Tenggara. To find the poorer villages in these island groups, ideally we would select based on some direct measures of village-level poverty. However, since reliable poverty maps were only available at the kecamatan level or higher, we had to approximate. We first limited the sample villages to those located in kecamatan that are among the poorest 40% in each island group based on BPS's 2004 kecamatan-level poverty map.
To ensure the tractability of the survey, we then limited the sample to rural villages with between 300 and 600 households based on the Potensi Desa (Podes) 2005 data. Once we obtained a list of these villages, we categorized them in terms of their island groups and topography-whether each is located in a coastal, flatland, or hilly/mountainous area. Within each category, we selected 4-8 villages whose poverty characteristics (as provided by the Podes 2005 data) are around the median in each kecamatan.
The final list of 32 villages was determined after we consulted with the field team regarding the feasibility of conducting the survey within the allotted time, i.e., one survey wave in each quarter. Within each village, the survey interviewed village officials and a random sample of households.
To construct the sampling frame for households, the survey team conducted a mini-census of households. Based on the household consumption categories collected during the mini-census, 120 households were stratified-random sampled from each village.
Target households to be visited in one village is about 20-30% of the total number of households in the villages surveyed. In order to represent the entire village, the selection of households randomized with the following stages:
First, based on data from the census mini, households in the village are grouped into 3 groups of consumption (in rupiah).
Second, from each group equally and randomly selected number of households to be interviewed.
Third, a random list of all households created with a random sequence per village. Each household was selected as the sample of households will be printed in bold, and reserve households will be sorted later. List of random household will be arranged per consumption group.
In the first wave, each field team get a households list from each village visited.
Households reserve used to replace the sample households in the next wave, if there are households who moved out of the village.
Selection of replacement households conducted based on top sequence number of the list of reserves household in the same consumption group.
Survey instrument
The instruments used in the first wave survey were questionnaires that consists of:
- Village General Data Questionnaire
- Village Financial Questionnaire
- Market Price Survey Questionnaire
- Household Questionnaire
- Anthropometry Questionnaire
Before the implementation of the first wave of main surveys, preliminary surveys conducted to create a household list of the sample villages. The instrument used for this preliminary survey is a Mini Census Questionnaire.

Interviews were conducted by a team of interviewers. Each team consists of interviewers and supervisor.
The role of the team supervisor is to coordinate team in data collection activities, including management of field teams, manage team finances, and make arrangements for travel and accommodation. In addition, the supervisor assigned to do an interview to the village, sending progress reports and send the completed questionnaires to the central office.
In this study the data entry does not conducted in the field but centralized at the office of consultant. Therefore, cross-checking between the interviewer was carried to maintain quality of the data. The things done in the process of re-checking include: checking the completeness of responses to questionnaires (if there were any data missing or not), check the skip patterns, and checking consistencies in the data.
The survey was conducted by 5 field teams (Lampung, Central Java, East Nusa Tenggara, South Kalimantan, and South Sulawesi). Each team consists of 1 field supervisor and 2 interviewers except for Central Java team there were 3 interviewers. The data was collected by conducting visits and interviewed 3840 households in 32 villages every three months for one year.
The survey lasted for 14 months (July 2008 to August 2009) were divided into 4 rounds (every 3 months) and one additional mini-census prior to the main survey.
Mini census undertaken to compile a list of households from 32 villages. Mini-census results are used as the material for the sampling of households to be interviewed.
Anthropometric measurements performed by midwives who have been trained by the supervisor of the measurement procedures and filling in questionnaires. In order to maximize the accuracy of the measurements and results that standard, then the midwives were asked to apply the standard method of doing these measurements by using height and weight measurement tools provided by the research team. At the end of the field work, interviewers and supervisors checking and editing of the midwives work to ensure that all children aged 0-5 years of data were recorded as respondent was recorded in the anthropometry.
The average of interview time in wave 1 are:
- Village General Data Questionnaire=120 minutes
- Village Financial Questionnaire=100 minutes
- Market Price Survey Questionnaire=75 minutes
- Household Questionnaire=90 minutes
- Anthropometry Questionnaire=15 minutes (including anthropometric measurement)
- Mini census=10 minutes
