Sampling
Sampling Procedure
A two stage stratified random sample design was used in the survey. Urban, rural and estate sectors of the District are the domains for stratification. The sample frame is the list of buildings that were prepared for the Census of Population and Housing 2012.
Selection of Primary Sampling Units (PSU's)
Primary Sampling Units are the census blocks prepared for the Census of Population and Housing - 2012. The sample frame, which is a collection of all census blocks in the domain, was used for the selection of primary sampling units. A sample of 25000 primary sampling units was selected from the sampling frame for the survey.
Each selected block was updated to include newly built housing units and excluded demolished housing units, which are no longer in existence. This updating operation was also carried out over a period of 12 months, starting from july 2012 to june 2013. For each PSU, updating was done about one month prior to the scheduled interviewing.
Selection of Secondary Sampling Units (SSU's)
Secondary Sampling Units are the housing units in the selected 2500 primary sampling units (census blocks). From each primary sampling unit 10 housing units (SSU) were selected for the survey. The total sample size of 25000 housing units was selected and distributed among Districts in Sri Lanka.
