Other Household Survey [hh/oth]
A tender was posted, by the Cape Town City Council, in November 2005 for a socio-economic survey and two focus groups to be conducted in both Khayelitsha and Mitchell's Plain. This tender was awarded to the Unit for Religion and Development at the University of Stellenbosch. The purpose was to update the 2001 Census information as well as to identify key priority issues and needs to inform integrated planning for the areas. In addition, the survey was intended to assess the impact of the Urban Renewal Programme in the respective communities. The objectives of the survey and focus groups were as follows:
• To evaluate the Urban Renewal Programme in the nodes of Khayelitsha and Mitchell’s Plain in order to improve the programme outcomes and the communication thereof;
• To develop a demographic and socio-economic profile of the community in terms of household size and composition, education, income and work status. A socio-economic and demographic profile is important in the identification of community needs to inform planning;
• To measure the communities’ perceptions on the value and importance of various services as well as their level of satisfaction with the delivery of these and other services;
• To identify the key needs of the respective communities in order to inform the City on appropriate investment in facilities, infrastructure and services.

Sampling
The survey is a stratified sample of 1 000 households from the study area. The sample was stratified on two levels: first, according to the number of households of the two geographical areas in the study area; and second, according to the number of formal and informal dwelling units in each geographical area (Mitchell’s Plain and Khayelitsha).
Regarding the first level of stratification by the number of households for each nodal area, a sample was selected totalling 453 households for the Mitchell’s Plain area and 547 for Khayelitsha. The second level of stratification by dwelling unit type was done within each nodal area, for Mitchell’s Plain totalling 12 informal dwelling units and 441 formal dwelling units, and for Khayelitsha totalling 311 informal dwelling units and 236 formal dwelling units. Formal and informal households were randomly selected from a small area layer (SAL) data set. This data set was created by combining all enumerated areas (EAs) with a population of less than 500 with adjacent EAs within the same sub-place by Statistics South Africa. Assigned to the SAL are the elected datasets from the 2001 Census, one of which is housing type. Because of the small sample size, comparison between geographic areas and/or different dwelling units within the areas may not be statistically significant.
