The complexity of the situation was very high and DCS realized this as a tough task. The Census was conducted in two stages. During the stage 1, all the building units in the affected Census Blocks were listed under three categories. In stage 2, detailed information was collected from both damaged housing and non housing units using a separate questionnaire. \n\nThis dataset belongs to the stage 1 of the project whose purpose was to enumerate the housing units of the Tsunami affected areas and classify them by type of damage - ie totally damaged, partially damaged (restorable), partially damaged (un-restorable), undamaged.\n\nThe type of damage was taken as the nature of damage caused to a housing unit when it was directly hit by the Tsunami wave. For completeness, the undamaged housing units also had been counted.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2005-03","end":"2005-06","cycle":""}],"nation":[{"name":"Sri Lanka","abbreviation":"LKA"}],"geog_coverage":"Tsunami Affected Areas in the following Districts :\n\n                                                                              Colombo\n                                                                              Gampaha\n                                                                              Kalutara\n                                                                              Galle\n                                                                              Matara\n                                                                              Hambantota\n                                                                              Amparai\n                                                                              Batticoloa\n                                                                              Trincomalee\n                                                                              Mulative\n                                                                              Jaffna\n                                                                              Kilinochchi\n                                                                              Puttalam","analysis_unit":"Housing Unit","universe":"All housing units which were struck by the Tsunami wave in Sri lanka in December 2004.","data_kind":"Census\/enumeration data [cen]","notes":"Household - Damaged house or Undamaged\nHead of Household - Name of the Head of Household\nLocation - District, DS Division, GN Division"},"method":{"data_collection":{"data_collectors":[{"name":"Department of Census and Statistics","abbreviation":"DCS","affiliation":"Ministry of Finance and Planning"}],"coll_mode":["Face-to-face [f2f]"],"research_instrument":"The form used to record housing unit information was a simple straightforward form by which the following details were collected:\n\nHeader Information\n                                    District\n                                    DS Division\n                                    GN Division\n                                    GN Division Number\n                                    \nDetail Information\n                                    Totally Damaged Housing Unit\n                                    Partially Damaged restorable\n                                    Partially damaged un-restorable\n                                    Undamaged\n                                    Name and Address of the Head of household\nBuffer zone had been fixed to :\n                                                        Less than or equal to 100 m\n                                                        Greater than 100 m\n                                                        Greater than 100 m but damaged by stream\n                                                        Not identified (not clear)","coll_situation":"Definition of the Buffer Zone:\n\nThe definition for measuring Buffer Zone had been set to cover the area from the sea coast to the boarder up to which the Tsunami wave directly hit the land.
