Sampling Procedure
Selection for surveying households in the Kyrgyz Republic on the use of individual heating systems was planned to obtain representative estimates of indices at the national level for urban and rural areas as well as Bishkek. Urban and rural areas and Bishkek were used as strata with selection of the households in two steps.
Framework for the first step was developed on the basis of the list of 12418 registration districts, made in the course of the 2009 census of households that specified under "Types of Amenities": heating from individual boilers, stove heating, and other types of heating. Some registration districts comprising of less than fifteen households were merged with neighboring districts resulting in 11753 PSUs. Selection was distributed by regions, proportional to the population in urban and rural strata.
At the second stage, in each of the selected 125 PSUs, we selected 12 households using the updated list of households as selection framework, and the method of systematic equiprobable selection. To update the lists for each region, lists of PSUs were prepared based on 2009 Census of population. The goal of the interviewers was to update the lists before the survey, i.e. check the availability of residential buildings, enter correct addresses, and assign consecutive numbers for preparing the selection.
The survey covered 1500 households across the regions of the country.
